- You can read more about Anglo-Saxon agriculture in Banham & Faith's 'Anglo Saxon Farms and Farming.'
The Cumbrian text I mentioned was 'A Memorandum of Old Times.'
My dissertation supervisor is Jennifer Jones, some of her research on animal husbandry can be found on Google Scholar: scholar.google.co.uk/citation...

Videos by Simon somehow feel like I’m having an unexpectedly deep conversation with a stranger I just met on a rainy day- every time.
It's Autumn in Norway now, I'm foraging for mushrooms and drying them to use during winter and I'm sitting inside knitting a bunch of warm socks.
finally someone who knows what a good day looks like! dark, cloudy and windy.
you look like a different version of yourself every week. it's brilliant.
When there are people like this on CZcams there is still hope for the world
Harvesting wine is called "herbsten" in German. That term developed in parallel to the English "harvesting". I really love to understand my own language more based on your videos. It really shows that Europeans are really somehow connected.
The danish word "høst" (used to also mean autumn and still does in Sweden) means "harvest". The closest sounds to an "ø" I can think of in the english language, is if you mix the vowel sounds of the words "burn" and "brew"..probably not very relevant to this video, but my mind "rambles through associations" easily!😁😜 Greetings from Denmark🇩🇰 Ps love your work❤️ Oh, and "Hærfest" or "hær-fest" would be "army-party"...rambling again...what can I say, I have ADHD and a touch of the ol' Aspergers😬😀
Simon, you are a born communicator. I wish you well.
This was really interesting, especially when you consider how the general emotional disposition would have been influenced by that way of life, and how it compares to today.
Your voice is so relaxing. I came to watch an interesting video and almost fell asleep from the ASMR effect. 😆
Until last year I lived on a farm near Mennonites (Ontario) and they still typically have a few summer cows that they slaughter in the fall and then share. I love being around cows and just tried not to think about it too much 😑
I liked the photography of the leaf litter. Here in New England, mid October is clear, bright skies and autumn foliage. By mid November, gray lowering clouds will scud across damp skies, above a world largely drained of color.
And a nice Autumn to you, as well, young sir. Another excellent video and thank you for the additional links.
Down here in the New Forest we still have a pannage or Common of the mast as it also called locally each Autumn which as you mentioned is it the practice of releasing livestock (pigs) to eat the fallen acorns, beech nuts and chestnuts.etc. It is a privilege right granted to the commoners of the New Forest
So lovely! The opening scene & sound was so happymaking that I put my phone on the side for a larger screen. Wonderfully rich information (even though it's Spring, here.) I'd love to see & hear more of these seasonal & cultural celebrations. Thanks Simon ! 👍
Thanks again. Your videos are like listening to a fireside chat with an old friend.
You probably know this already but...
Simon your videos are wonderfully reflective, meditative and instructive all at once, delivered in a reassuring and utterly convincing way. Kudos. And by the way that opening shot really sets the tone for this episode!
The Harvest/Fall/Autumn scenery was nice. This was a fun and relaxing video.
Love your atmospheric and pastoral lead-ins to your stories. Experienced same weather today here in coastal South Carolina.
