A Day in a Monastery
A day in the life of a secluded, Benedictine Monastery in Hampshire, England. The monks spend large portions of the day in silence. To keep themselves busy, they have various tasks, from studying to painting, and mixing incense to baking communion bread. A day in a secluded community is not one that is seen regularly and the experience is well worth it.

BBC Interview Campaigners at Butterfly Meadows in Alton, Hampshire
On Saturday 6th of September 2014, campaigners gathered at Butterfly Meadows in Alton Hampshire for a BBC report on the excessive residential building planned for the site.
Ginny Boxall is the lead campaigner that started the petition to protect this place of natural beauty, home of many butterflies, barn owls and other wildlife. The petition has now reached well over 1000 signatures and continues to grow.
While we were there, an aggressive employee of the landowners, the HCA, approached us while he was out spraying weed killer on Japanese Knotweed. He complained about his picture being taken and ordered that the footage be deleted. He even threatened the people from the BBC claiming that he'd called the police and that they were on their way.
To respect his wishes and to keep the tone of the video positive, I have left out this part of the video.
The report was shown on South Today that evening.

Join me for a full on ride experience of the classic monorail at the National Motor Museum Beaulieu located in Brockenhurst, Hampshire, England UK
This classic monorail was originally located at a Butlins holiday camp but which one is unknown due to lack of information but it has been at Beaulieu since 1974 and it is the oldest monorail in the UK, it is also a mile long and has 2 trains on the circuit
In this unique video I film the whole experience from station to station starting from the World of Top Gear, this unique ride is a must for all transport enthusiasts especially for its heritage and the way it goes through the middle of the motor museum building
