    Mister Me, Mister Boo & Halloween, the story of Oscar Wilde is certainly one that sounds like a very troubled soul! life can be challenging...the Swan incident shows us how in the animal kingdom too it's a battle for supremacy just like mankind..have to say your editing is 1st class & leads to a very well presented vlog..stay safe and well & of course stay charged 👍

However, Henry Clews' ancestors, like most of the Clews clan, are from the same part of England as mine (the Staffordshire Potteries). So maybe if I were able to go back far enough ...

    Bravo! Such a lovely journey was a moving contrast to tell a short, and not so lovely story around. What might it be that that so many troubled hoped to find there? Was it peace, refuge, true love, a place to cross their terminus, or something more elemental?
    If I ever make it there, I wouldn't mind taking a flight from that airport and viewing and pondering few things from a higher vantage point.

    • @MeandMonAmi
      @MeandMonAmi  Рік тому

      You’d love the airport and the not yoo far away glider port too. What were they seeking? Many came to escape TB. The restrictive sexual laws in England at the time. The sunshine. Their past. Themselves.. I think it’s always a part of travel really.. although as Larkin said ‘nothing like something happens anywhere!’

    I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Mr. Boo was impressive with exercise equipment. The drone footage of the river was stunning. I assume it was drone footage or perhaps you got one of the swans to fly over with a camera.It was very interesting to learn more about Oscar Wilde. The drama with the swan was intense. Steven Spielberg should make a movie of the event. I read the book Jaws as a kid on the beach in Cape Cod. And with my grandmother I went over to Martha’s Vineyard and saw where they made the film as well as the racks that they kept the three sharks on. It took three because they couldn’t make one that would do everything they needed it to do.They were all called Bruce. I wonder how many racks it would take to make the movie with a swan? Thanks for another wonderful video! Love from Vermont
