Oofi, come here.

Well, hello and welcome to a brand new podcast.

This is an introductory episode. It's out to stone clear, basically. I'm sharing. I'll be your host in this podcast, which should be running weekly.

Well, until my death, I'm hoping 50 years of podcasting for this particular podcast.

Stone clearing, if you don't know what it is, I'm sure many of you have tuned in because you are a stone clearer.

And so this is an introductory episode for people who are new to the art is taking stones from a field, putting them around the edge of the field, hoping to create

a wall. Some stone can make a path. Basically, there's a big field. I walk my dog around

every morning. It takes about half an hour to walk all the way around if you're just walking at a regular field. I walk my dog around every morning. It takes about half an hour to walk all the way

around if you're just walking at a regular pace. It's a big field. And I noticed there's a lot of

stones on it. And yeah, I thought, well, it probably will help the farmer if I get those stones off. And also, if I build a war with them, then I will become immortal. That war will last here longer than my lifespan can be expected. People will come from generations to look at it, try and understand it, work out.

Who was the mysterious person? I mean, I think they'll think it will be people. It will be such an impressive war, but it will be just one man.

And of course, human beings have been doing this, just sweeping down, pick up a couple of stones I've spotted there. These are just little ones.

The thing is, I want to clear all the stones from this field of, down to what size I don't know.

I mean, it's difficult to estimate because I've got quite a good little collection over there by a

little bench. Because I can hear it and click, click, click. And yeah yeah I'm hoping to get rid of all the stones

I mean the stones litter this field but there's a sort of philosophical and artistic thing behind this

aio will be creating something out of nothing also it's a little bit about whether such a thing

would be possible how much of a dent can one man make in the stones on a field this size?

I mean, so far, I've been doing this couple of months. I'm largely concentrated on the edge of the field.

I'm walking around here. I mean, I just picked up four quite medium-sized stones there,

just from the edge, which I've walked past every single day.

And I look at this and it seems no different.
