My channel is largely my readings of poetry, mostly the Wiltshire dialect rhymes of my ancestor Edward Slow (he of the Wiltshire Moonrakers) and the fine Dorset dialect poet William Barnes.
I hope you will enjoy my readings and the historic images I use with them, perhaps they'll inspire your interest in the poets.

All About... Maze Ball Games
I wanted to elucidate for viewers a little history on Maze Ball Games, those handheld plastic games in which you manipulate the game to guide a ball-bearing around an obstacle course, as much to highlight the brilliance of some of these games, as to warn viewers of the many cheap and poorly made copies that flood the market.
You will understand that views expressed are my views alone, mostly as a user and keen player with these games.
I would suggest that if you want to see further guidance on the Perplexus games, visit RC Insight's channel,
czcams.com/play/PL5xEr9eItEMKVkuFDr1_n8gh1XYwgRg-Z.html
..where he has described thoroughly all the range and gives demonstrations - far better than I could hope to do - of how to complete the course.

I love all vegetables and salads and dips, but my baked potatoes are unhealthy, I like a knob of butter melted over the the two halves of the potato, I cut it in half, and then a large spoonful of coleslaw over each half!! full of calories and unhealthy but so good!! 😊
Thanks for this fascinating video - I never watched TV in the 1980s when I was young, especially not Breakfast TV, as I was always rushing out of the door to school. Now these snippets of old breakfast TV fascinate me!! was this actually 1981? I thought Breakfast TV began in 1983.
Barnes is just so very beautiful.
If your search for the pale blood has brought you here, then rejoice brethren. For you have found the source.
It was an Agony of Effort to find it
“The little death in life” what a quote

Nice to see Jill Gascoigne.
Amazing that bell leisure ltd are still going as a business in ashurst and according to Google maps still sell snooker tables although looks like they are more into selling swimming pools now
Hmm recorded on Betamax I presume ?
It was an ancestor of mine that took him to Winchester.!!
Just found out she os from tyneside...wonderful author
That’s me singing! 😎 I think I messaged you about ten years ago asking if I could use the video haha 😂 my girlfriend randomly started singing this today so had to find this video again 😂😂
Well, I'm happy to leave this one on the channel, if you are!
@@nancysloper definitely!
I’d love to hear Phil Harding narrating this great tale (Tine Team)
Believe me, I asked other people in the local Studio Theatre etc.., to have a go, no one gave me the time of day. I know my reading is not that good, but I guess someone had to have a go! Thanks.
Thanks Alan, what a wonderful peace of work, have learned and enjoy all afternoon and evening
01:34, Torres wine. Still lovely in 2021, though I prefer the red. Nice 80s klunge too, three lots of breakfast totty, full bush under those skirts and trousers, Gill Gascoigne! Smashing crumpet!
Isn't is incredible that the one thing we dodge online, is the very thing we look back on fondly.
Even the advert s were better in those days ..
Thank you for caring. Thank you for sharing. 🐙🐋🐛🐖🐦
Well done for making these videos.
People were still born at the hospital in 1962 though normally they were born at Odstock hospital.
1983 is my birth year ❣️
Great video. Well done!
Eterna Catherine! Amo seus livros! Você é o próprio amor!
0:39 it spell olay not Ulay
In the the 80s this was the name In the UK
Great paintings, who painted them?
Lovely, thank you. 🌹
Sounds more like a public school boy trying to be a Worzel. Not very authentic.
Well, if you'd like to make a reading of Slow's best-known work, and make it more authentic, be my guest. Don't shoot the messenger!
I disagree. Accents were much stronger back in the 17th/ 18th centuries. Many of today's Moonrakers wouldn't be able to understand the locals back then. It's how language progresses.
She has the face of an angel like the beauty drawn by an old artist upon the barroom floor and eyes of the wisest of wisdoms. I own every book she's written which keeps me spellbound to her tho I've read them all many times over its never gets old to me. I've built a separate bookcase to house her books only its like a shrine to greatest woman who lived on the face of the earth and with my magic wand I wash away everything and anything that hurt her as she is the most precious of all flawless gems..a gift.. a mystery of our universe just for me. And now the impossible has become a possible..I hear her swert voice for the first time. Thankyou Catherine 💞 from 🇨🇦
There is a group of devoted readers of Lady Catherine's books in FB. I've recently discovered it, maybe you will be interested to join.
Catherine is by far my favorite author. I have most of her books and will not part with them. I live in the USA. The first book I read of hers was Maggie Rowan. Then I was hooked. Rest dear Catherine. You’ve earn it.

She's a marvelous writer.
My Grandma and Grandpa are in this ! Very emotional for me to watch as the first time me seeing as this.
She was a selfish and greedy and evil bitch! Boasting she murdered her five unborn children to stop them from interfering with her career . Don't watch or read her Crap !
My favorite AUTHOR...how I love her books, I still have them all, and the movies that were made from a lot of her books. God bless you Catherine.
How awful and how far we have come. :)
I don't care what spot on year it's just lovely having the memories flood back 👍👌
Can you upload that snooker advert plz
FANTASTIC ! we explored an old lime kiln near Hindon in the summer ,,cose to tisbury,,Wiltshire ,thanks for a superb video best wishes ,,,Adrian and Simon ,,,Dorset .
My grandma, born in Sunderland, other family members in Tynemouth, Whitley Bay, North and South Shields. She was related to Catherine Cookson, via Catherine's father He also had a blood disorder, as did Catherine and unfortunately myself My haematologist is in Edinburgh Royal Infirmary and I'm checked regularly. My grandma and my aunt look so much like Catherine, especially in their o!der years. My grandma married a Scot, who incidentally was related to George Meikle Kemp, architect of the Scott Monument in Edinburgh. All these famous folk, but that's all my kith and kin are now! I've visited relatives in those areas so many times Cullercoats and the Marsden Rock being very special. The folk are tough, hardy, down to earth, but with big hearts! I watched the documentary, however, as I've already commented, the sound and music spoil it so much! Did the editors listen to this before putting it up on You Tube? I doubt it! My regards to you all that are captivated by Catherine Cookson Stay safe in this Christmas period Many good wishes to you all, from Scotland
I live about 10 minutes from Marsden rocks. I live by South Shields town centre.
In case anyone reads this and is interested.... czcams.com/video/XifROyq2BXM/video.html Finding her Da..... it happened , sadly after she passed, but enough people cared to find out... ( ta find oot 😉) Thank you, Catherine, I love your books, I love your stories, I certainly know sorrow and breakdowns myself.. seeing myself was a shock... ......, I am so thankful you walked this Earth and left what you left 🌈❤️ (Edit.... I just recently met a woman at work, from Gambia, and her name is Jarrow... ! And when I told her that was a town in the North East of England she didn't believe it !! )
I 💖 Catherine Cookson movies to bits but I've said in light hearted comments to friends before "Gosh, Catherine must have had a troubled childhood" but I had no idea whatsoever 🌷 I was brought up in a violent dysfunctional family in London in the late 50s early 60's but seeing this documentary has brought awareness to this fine Lady's roots ❤️ Thank you Catherine for all the Entertainment you've gifted. My most Favourite Movie, The Moth ❤️
I never have heard an "ode to a bakery" until now; I feel your pain :o)
I’ll go back in time to buy a Snooker Table :)
And Il quite fancy one of those sheepskin coats starting from £49.99. That's probably about £275.00 today.
Hello alan, do you know what happened to the Catherine Collison , A simple soul, and other short stories on you tube , by Catherine cookson, can't find it anywhere, man y thanks
No, I've no idea I'm afraid - I only had this documentary as it was on an old VHS tape.
I'm finding, one by one on CZcams, many of the movies that were made from her books.
Remarkable. An art within an art with a life. How poetic... How creative .. How moving ...
Catherine had a disease called HHT, (I have it) It’s a disorder of the blood vessels causing massive nosebleeds, gastric bleeding, arterio-venous malformations in the liver, lungs and brain. Miscarriages are common in this condition as is depression and anxiety. It’s a shame knowledge of her condition wasn’t as known as it is now. They probably didn’t know why she suffered as she did. My mother also suffered because doctors didn’t know how to treat her blood loss and manage her condition.
