    Wonderful tour, thank you Simon; I live in the forest in central Ontario, Canada, and like you, mourn the loss of forests to the axe. My area has been clear cut three times, then farmed, but now, most of us are letting the forest be - it’s amazing how quickly a thriving forest draws back the birds, animals, insects, reptiles. These are the neighbours we sometimes forget about, but we are slowly, slowly learning to live within, not upon.

    Thank you simon for this wonderfull video with beautifull music. In the seventies there was a Robin Hood serial on German TV. I loved it. It was stunning to watch the 1000 year old major oak.

    What a lovely forest! I love trees... I have planted many trees in my garden as I think of them as protective, wise old souls. They are amazing. When I follow you on your walk in the Sheerwood Forest I see faces in all of the old trees. They really look back at you. Thank you so much for the beautiful and peaceful walk.// Love and light from another treelover in Sweden

    I loved the walk so much. I had to watch several times to see through the tears that were rolling down my face. This was so beautiful. I just really felt the energy. When I saw the crystal shop I just wanted to run right in. I love to feel the power of the crystals. The ones you chose were so lovely. Simon you did a great job of making this special for all of us .Thank you sooo much....When I was little I spent a great deal of time in the trees. I lived on a apple orchard in Maryland. I worked in an orange orchard. I used to run up and down latter's just like house steps. I laid and slept in trees, and hug upside down swinging from my legs. This took me back and the smells of apples and oranges being picked. Well so wonderful. This was a really nice home I used to sell 🍓 cucumbers , cabbage and corn from the fields we planted with my father.

    I love your Walk With Me videos! Beautiful background music too - so wonderful to just relax and watch. It's rather overwhelming to look at these trees and imagine all they have seen in their long lives. Nature is magical and mystical and sacred. We've lost so many trees and creatures in the fires here - heartbreaking. Major Oak - wise old grandmother tree. Thank you, Friend, for this lovely walk in nature with you. And ice cream! ox

  • @bearlybalancedtarot4407

    It's years since I was last in Sherwood forest, so many thanks for this walk through and showing us your shopping haul 👍. I love looking at trees and the fantastic bark patterns. There is an old oak tree near where I live, but it's a baby 🚼 compared to the Major Oak, as it's only about 700 - 800 years old and is the last remaining tree of the ancient forest.

    Oh thank you so much for this wonderful video. I got so excited when I saw the alert for the video, but I forced myself to save it as a sort of reward for accomplishing some things. I adore your walk with me videos. They are relaxing and beautiful and (speaking as an American who desperately wants to visit the U.K.) are such an amazing glimpse of a land I love though have never seen first-hand (yet). And of course, much like your tarot deck videos, these help me add to my list - in this case of places I must visit. :-). It felt like I was walking by your side through that beautiful wood.

Also thank you for sharing your little goodies with us. The crystals was stunning. You do make me laugh though. You always wear a sweater then get too hot half way round. Wear a t-shirt and take a sweat shirt to wrap around you if you need it. Bless you, you looked worn out and hot and bothered. Have a great week. Blessings to you. x

    Thank you for sharing that, Simon! That was amazingly beautiful! I am from Iowa, we still have many forests here but it is known for it’s farms and corn crops, rotated with beans or soy. Last month on the 10th of August 2020 we had the most unusual weather event and we here in Iowa had never seen anything like it ever. We had straight line winds that were from 100 mph to 140 mph...and it lasted for the better part of an hour and we had all the big trees in the entire county blown down and homes had trees fall on them,,,roofs blown off houses.l..the destruction was everywhere and while some neighborhoods had their power back on in about a week...it took almost 2 weeks for our neighborhood to get our power back. There were 10 to 20 ft piles of trees that had been chainsawed into pieces and left on the grassy part by the street..the piles were so high and all the street signs had been knocked down...so if you didn’t know where you were going you would be lost,,..they didn’t even get to the piles of trees in our neighborhood to truck them away until 34 days later..which was just a few days ago,. There are bunches ofCZcams videos that people had taken while it was happening here,...it’s crazy!

    How exciting to visit Sherwood Forest! When you first arrived at the visitor's center I could hear kids on the video excitedly shouting - I felt just like them, lol. And the Robin Hood outfits in the store! Omg to be a kid again! Perhaps you have read "Brendon Chase" by B.B.? From the description on the back of the book: "Three brothers run away from home to live like Robin Hood and his merry men, deep in the forest of Brendon Chase. They make their camp in an ancient oak tree, loving the danger and excitement of their wild surroundings. Their aim is never to be caught... ." It's a lovely book and great quarantine reading btw. Seeing the forest was just delightful, and I thank you sooo much for taking us!
