Tx Anna, I was pleased to find these last week. I replied to your vid but somehow it wasn't accepted (2nd reply). I'm well but been very busy lately with various things (inc a new puppy called Dorothy) so not so much time for vids. Catching up now. Tx for watching! Rob

@@LivinginTheNewForest Ah no prob, us too, its the first new video in a few months so I'm catching up too. Your puppy I'm sure is adorable. Hope Edith is OK?

@@FXWalesAnnaAlf Sadly we had to say goodbye to Edith back in the summer. She had an autoimmune problem where her body was killing its own red blood cells. It's called IMHA - look it up. She had various treatments but she went downhill. She was only 7, very sad. That's why we now have a puppy - she won't replace Edith, but it's a new chapter. And at the moment, it's a very time consuming chapter :)

@@LivinginTheNewForest Aww Rob I'm so sorry to hear about Edith, that's so sad, I used to love seeing her walking and enjoying herself with you. Like you said, you won't forget her, this is a new chapter with a different dog. Hope you're both doing ok 👍

@@FXWalesAnnaAlf Tx Anna. Yes we are OK but Karen is still very upset. We scattered Edith's ashes in the forest where we walk regularly. Not sure if that was the best idea as it's still emotional to walk past her resting place. Life's hard sometimes but others have it much worse - we're fortunate really.

Yes, they originate from Aus, not sure how common they are though. Tx for watching Billy and all the best, Rob

Thanks Craig. I expect you have come across them as well. I was pleased to find these last week. Tx for watching and all the best, Rob

Yes, it's a very interesing fungus and one that I was pleased to find. Tx for watching and all the best, Rob

Tx Anne, I'm pleased you found it interesting. Tx for watching and all the best, Rob

Yes, I do too and this one is particularly interesting. Tx for watching and all the best, Rob

Thanks Billy. Only 2 years ago but it seems longer :) Best wishes, Rob

Thanks Anne. I saw some more devil's fingers this week so I'll include them in my next diary update. Thor is back in Iceland now, I believe, unless he has decided to have another adventure. It was interesting to watch his progress around the North Sea. Tx for watching and all the best, Rob

Tx very much, your comment is much appreciated. The drift is very exciting to watch and very well organised. Tx for watching and all the best, Rob

Tx Brenda and apologies for the delay in replying - we have a lot going on at the moment, so my UA-cam time is limited. Yes, it's very exciting to watch and very well organised. Tx for watching and all the best, Rob

Very interesting!

Tx Agnes and apologies for the delay in replying - we have a lot going on at the moment, so my UA-cam time is limited. This vid is a composite of the bimonthly diaries that I upload - I need to find the time to pull the next diary together by the end of this month :) Tx for watching and best wishes, Rob

Hi Vanessa. The drifts are going on now but people are not encouraged to go and watch as it can be dangerous - for the people watching and the ponies. It is all generally very well managed but it's not considered to be a spectator sport (although lots of people still go to watch). I can't remember if I told you that we had to say goodbye to Edith, the miniature schnauzer who was my walking mate. :( She developed an auto immune problem where her body was killing its own red bood cells. She became very weak and the medicines didn't really help. She had blood transfusions which helped, but not for long. In the end, we had to make the decision to say goodbye. Very sad. Her ashes are scattered in the forest now so we can say hello to her regularly. 3 weeks ago we got another miniature schnauzer puppy - Dorothy. I hope she will become my walking mate. She can start to go out in 2 weeks time. Another chapter :) All the best, Rob

Thanks very much, I'm pleased you enjoyed the video. Best wishes, Rob

Hi Anne. Yes, a lot of the commoners do this, but not all. A commoner once said to me 'when you're driving, watch out the reflective collar, then watch out in case a foal is following (without a collar). Wise words, I think. All the best, Rob

PS - you're doing very well with your subs, well done! :)

Tx Simon. People are interested in watching but they are not encouraged as they might get in the way or injured. Plenty of people still turn up though :) All the best, Rob

Yes, the older ponies have done it several times and they know the drill. The others just follow on. It doesn't always go like clockwork though :) Tx for watching and all the best, Rob

Thanks Craig. I originally uploaded it to my other channel - The Country Traveller - but I want to get the 'year' videos all on to this channel. I'm doing every year from 2020 - 2029 (hopefully!) All the best, Rob

Thanks Craig. I hadn't thought about the deer being displaced. I haven't seen much fallow deer action yet near me. Thanks for taking the time to comment, much appreciated. Best wishes, Rob

Thanks very much, I'm pleased you enjoyed it!

Thanks Keith. I hope you found it to be a moving experience - I do whenever I visit. Best wishes, Rob

@@LivinginTheNewForest I sent a link to my Canadian grandsons and now they want to visit it next year when they come to the UK. Thank you.

@@keithshackleton9615 That's lovely Keith, I'm pleased my little video helps to keep the memories alive. All the best, Rob

Tx Billy. Only 3 years ago but seems much longer :)

Funnily enough, my wife saw one yesterday. It is the time of year when the caterpillars try to find somewhere to spend the winter, so they move around and are more likely to be seen. I'm pleased the video was of interest! Thanks for watching and best wishes, Rob

Yes, the pigs eat the acorns to stop the other animals eating too many of them and becoming ill. The pigs were let out onto the forest last Monday, as the acorns have started to fall from the oak trees. I will make another video of the pigs when I see some of them. Best wishes, Rob
