Another most enjoyable winter-walk video, Patrick. The area, even at this time of the year seems quite pleasant, with the walks, ponds and woods. One advantage with winter is that with the trees being bare at least you can see the true shape of them, with the branches and twigs, and also viewing various things in the landscape is more clear, which they might hide in the summer months. Many thanks for this video production.

i read your facebook post about uploading earlier than usual because people are stuck inside due to the weather, you're so thoughtful. It was a delight to watch as always. Your videos always make me smile. I know this may sound cheeky but having watched your channel for many years now, i wondered what your job involves. I know it's to do with water and reservoirs but do you take samples or is it water measures? You don't have to answer lol. I remember you posting about that idiot and i was fuming. Too many idiots around these days. My sister was taking pics of her daughter in the school play and was made to delete the pics because other people's children were also on stage, unbelievable. I've been bedridden for two years now due to an accident and seeing the outside world in your vids makes me feel like I've been outside. Thank you so much Patrick

Thanks Kelly, I just thought it was a good opportunity to publish this a week earlier than planned as more people would probably be staying at home because of the snow. I can't say too much about my job you understand as I've got to be very careful what I say bearing in mind KZitem is so public. I can say that I deal with collecting and presenting statistics, but it's nothing to do with water or reservoirs. This is something I will talk about in a future video, so watch this space. It's incredible about your sister having to delete the photos. My incident with that chap years ago is something I've never forgotten of course. Sorry to hear about your accident, I do hope it's nothing serious and that you recover very soon. Take care 👍

You looked well wrapped up in woolly hat for your walk for that windy weather. Love the new beat in your musical style. Very cool lounge music with synths and instrumental build up. Easy on the ear. Must admit I don't know Grassmoor Country Park. Had similar experience filming tricking water down a small lane. A bloke came out his house no where near my camera demanded what I was doing!! So know the feeling. Good advert for Tesco

Grassmoor Country Park isn't one of the best known areas in Derbyshire unless you live in the area I guess. Some people are amazing really aren't they, but it seems we can't do anything with a camera today without someone being suspicious and/or rude about it. Anyway, we carry on 😃 Thanks Shanita for your lovely comments as always and for watching 👍

Brilliant video again Patrick. Sorry to hear you have had problems with over anxious parents. And it must have questioned whether you carry on making your films. Fortunately most people are accommodating. But as a Teaching Assistant I can see things from both sides. Having said all that, of course as you rightly pointed out, the camera was pointing away from the children!! I do hope it hasn’t put you off doing what you do. It would be a very sad day to an awful lot of your followers including me! You give such pleasure to those that are unfortunate enough to not be able to access such beautiful places in our lovely countryside. Thanks again & until next time. Take care. X

Do you know what Patrick I was fully engaged in a project once all about bicycles. I was photographing bikes in all manner of moods. Once a group of children walked through the Castle Green in Hereford and there was this locked bike and through the spokes the kids looked really cool. I took a shot - it was artistic! Later Police pulled me up and said they had reports that I was photographing children. I was gob-smacked that the staff caring for the kids reported me and even more so that my freedom in a public space was being curtailed. How utterly mad! I told them and showed them all my photos of bikes in different moods with characters in the shots. They let me go but I was very upset. I sympathize with your own episode. Well, a pretty good walk puddles and all. Take care Patrick. Peace. Mark

Morning Mark, that was some episode you went through. It's a pity that the kids' carers didn't approach you just to ask politely what you were doing, rather than reporting it to the Police. Glad you were let go, but I'm not surprised you were upset about it. My episode was when I was in the Forest of Dean back in 2018. It was the play area at Beechenhurst Lodge. The bloke was just so aggressive, but it was clear to anyone the camera was pointing away from the play area. Anyway, that made me more careful afterwards where I stood when filming shots. Thanks for watching Mark, it was a great walk with all them puddles. All the best down there 👍

Hi Patrick. That sounds like a horrible experience with that guy near the school. I can only sympathize with your predicament in that situation ... I also had a very bad incident once. I was walking past this farm. I didn't normally see people there but a lady was there with 3 kids aged about 16 in a tiny field next to the farm. It had a small horse in it and they were feeding it etc. I said hello to them at the start of the walk. Thought it was so great they were looking after the pony. Then a while later when I walked back and had walked past them about 30 metres I turned around and I realized that that scene of the old looking farm with people in the field and the pony would make a great photo subject on my phone. As the trackleading up to the farm drew your eye into the scene. Suddenly one of the kids shouted to the mother.. "Watch out he's taking a picture he must be a child molester". I called out "I'm just taking a photo of the farm". And the mother called out "don't you dare take any photos here". I was absolutely shell shocked for two days. And wondered what was it about me that made them think such awful things... I then reasoned that they must read newspapers . The kind that is always posting shocking stories like that. But it did traumatize me as I had a lot of depression and anxiety and I thought maybe I don't look okay to them. Not sure. ? Anyway thanks for being willing to get that into the video Patrick. Take care. Dave.

Morning David, thanks for sharing your experience too. I also felt traumatized with my own episode, even though I knew I had not done anything wrong. it wasn't near a school, it was next to a children's play area near a picnic area. I was shell shocked too and it all stayed with me for many months. That's why nowadays I try to take shots more discreetly, i.e. not near play areas and taking certain shots from a distance. Anyway thanks again David and all the best 👍
