Last night I watched a fresh video by "Northern Introvert", Jack Roscoe. To my surprise, he had been out and about near Sheffield - about three miles from the hot engine room of "Yorkshire Pudding" where I am typing right now.
Now, on his travels. Jack frequently hides a book for viewers of his channel to find and below you can see him near the reservoirs at Redmires, preparing to hide the most recent book in a broken down drystone wall.
As I went up the stairs to bed last night, I had a light bulb moment. Perhaps I could be the latest finder.
After breakfasting and showering this morning - not at the same time I hasten to add - I jumped in Butch and headed up to Redmires. Soon I was retracing The Northern Introvert's steps. I thought I had a 50/50 chance of being the book finder. Very possibly, somebody else had got there before me.
I easily found the section of tumbledown wall shown above but when I first peered into the hole I could see nothing. My heart sank a little.
Then I went round the other side and after lifting two stones I spotted my prize. It was like winning The National Lottery and I immediately performed a joyous jig which panicked two sheep that had been happily grazing nearby.
And here is the book, still wrapped in its protective wrap. It's "Entangled Life" by Merlin Sheldrake - a book about how "fungi make our worlds, change our minds and shape our futures". I look forward to reading it but at the moment I just can't get this happy smile off my face. Finders keepers - right?
