Summary

There's a disturbance at The Moon Under Water. Yes, if you look out the foggy windows you'll notice that the Mists are starting to sway... and that can only mean one thing. It looks like a guest is about to enter the vacinity and we are so excited, because making their way into the Correct Realm is the wonderful Rhys James!


Rhys is one of the UK's most beloved comedians, and he heralds from the coolest city in the world. That's right: Swindon. Not only is it the home of XTC, Gilbert O'Sullivan and Dean Ashton, it's also the home to some cracking boozers, and we can't wait to hear about some of Rhys's favourites. But don't just expect him to lament about Swindon; we're sure he's going to tick-off plenty of Wiltshere's big hitters; such as Cricklade, Wilton and Amesbury. Rhys is currently on tour! Look him up in your mind and treat yourself to a wonderful night in the Other Realm.

Foam gripped the dry interiors of the mind and send them reeling toward the moon underwater. Well, no sign of the lovely Robin yet, I have to say, and it's no surprise because I think he was elected this year and a moment of great pride for him to witness the annual swifting of the willow trees.

1:13.6

And it's a sort of a ceremonial post,

1:24.3

which is a two-year indenture. And I know he'd been working very hard to achieve it. So it was a team effort, but he's going to be a little bit late today because I think

1:29.6

the Willow Swetting was at the Middnard.

1:34.2

And it's, well, it's about two hours past the Midden Yard now.

1:38.0

But he should be coming in.

1:39.6

And I would be surprised if he'd had time to remove his regalia's.

1:44.9

Oh, and yeah, I can hear a sort of a bustling to the rear through the gazebo.

1:50.4

And into the summer house and now in through the bar.

1:53.5

Yes, hello, Robin. How are you doing?

1:55.4

Oh, hello. Yes, I've just got a few swept crumbs on me.

1:58.5

I just need to dust off.

2:00.4

Congratulations, man. How was it?

2:02.4

It was good. It's quite hard swifting because my swift tool is so small. Yes. But I like the detail

2:08.9

I can achieve with it. It's got very detailed engravings on the hilt, doesn't it? Yeah,

2:14.4

really, it has. But um, it has, yeah. I realise we're probably leaving our listeners out.

2:19.9

If maybe you could just talk them through what swifting is.

2:22.8

Well, you've got a tree.

2:24.7

Yeah.

2:24.9

You picture that in your mind.

2:26.7

The bark needs polishing.
