I’ve done a lot of jobs in my time and one of them was a primary school teacher. There’s a lot of problems with the retention rate in that profession for a number of reasons, so it’s not a job I do anymore and not something I’d return to.
During periods where curriculum work was finished or caught up with and there was an availability for free time for the children, it was generally customary to give them the choice to just relax and do what they wanted. For example, before breaking up for the Easter or Christmas holidays, work is finished so you could put a film on for the children on the board. Some would watch, others would draw or read, etc.
Instead of this, I chose to teach the children traditional folk tales in the form of dramas for them to act out. The extroverted kids had the ability to take centre stage and the more introverted ones took smaller background parts but could still be included. When available, I’d teach them the folk songs associated with the story. In my opinion, this was something much more preferable to just sticking them in front of a Pixar film that they’ve likely already seen.
Recently I was walking through one of the towns I used to teach in and I bumped into three lads that used to be in my class, now in secondary school. We chatted and they told me how they were getting on, and mentioned that my folklore dramas were their favourite memories of primary school. Those stories will no doubt stick with them for life now.
There’s a part of me that’s sad that I’m no longer in that career in order to replicate that for hundreds more children. But sadly there’s just so much wrong with this country and its institutions and I didn’t want to stay in it. But that’s a topic for another day.

I’ve filmed in castles that are:
• tourist attractions
• hotels
• ruins
But today I got to film in a private castle for the first time, having reached out to a number of owners. Not only that, but the owner agreed to an interview!
Just finished filming but excited to put together my video about this castle’s history and the chilling legend attached to it.

Reading about Shackleton’s 1908-09 Nimrod expedition.
On the journey from New Zealand to Antarctica, they faced a hurricane force storm with waves over 100ft high. Dogs and ponies dead, much of the cargo ruined, and the crew sick, battered and bruised.
Men on board pointed the finger of blame at a crewman named Frank Wild for the storm. He had killed an albatross during the voyage and had angered the sea. It’s interesting to see superstitions like this appear in the 20th century, with as much belief in its truth as there was in the 18th or 19th centuries.

*New Video*
Some folklore from Cambridgeshire and Norfolk this week. Belief in the dreaded Lantern Man was widespread in the fenlands in the days before they were drained. Filming on location at one of the last wild fens in England, I explore some of the terrifying accounts of those that once called this place home 🏴🌾🔥

My collaboration with The Jolly Reiver is here!
Deep in rural Somerset, there is rumoured to be a human skull hidden in a farmhouse next to a church where the rest of the body is said to be buried. Is this story legit, or just a myth? Myself and the Jolly Reiver team up and investigate.

Cannock Museum and Theatre to close
In a sad but not unexpected decision Cannock Chase council, having completed the 'consultation period' have decided to proceed with the closure of the local theatre and museum.
This was despite massive local resistance, and in the face of the proposed savings being realistically negligible.
To anyone paying attention this outcome was a foregone conclusion, the consultation period lasted a short time over the Christmas/ Yuletide period when everyone is thinking about personal matters.
The survey they sent out also focused heavily on what should be done regarding heritage once these assets were gone.
This decision degrades the area and robs it of access to importance heritage assets.
My advice is: Take an instrest in your local heritage now, learn and save what you can, before they try to bury even more of it.

My new video is up for Patrons now and will be out on YouTube tomorrow.
There’s a small village in Wiltshire where a number of features in the local area are named after a black dog. I went there to investigate the gruesome story behind this 🐺
