As legend has it.... Robin Hood made his bow from this Yew tree in the graveyard at Papplewick churchyard ??? "Yew that is old, in churchyard mould, he breedeth a mighty bow Alder for shoes do wise men choose, and Beech for cups also But when you have killed And your bowl it is filled, and your shoes are clean outworn Back you must speed for all that you need to Oak, and Ash, and Thorn" ???????????????

A sad tale of parting - something that was very common in days gone by. No phones, no contact for years sometimes. Just "kind letters" which is kind of romantic really I spotted a big black cloud as I was driving along some country lanes at the back end of summer last year. Such clouds always remind me of the line in this song "There's a heavy storm arising, see how it gathers round" (though the clouds were not so visible here) I also got distracted by the dogs in the car looking like they may try jumping out the window for a run and we were quite close to the road. Must post some of my outtakes one day! This was near Southwell in Nottinghamshire. I think they are called Oxton woods there in the background Here is a most beauteous version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiuBkHJdEuA And my latest blogpost on folk songs and heartbreak https://eatbakesing.blogspot.com/2022/07/traditional-folk-songs-and-heartbreak.html ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nL_Oj9sNFYs

I have wondered this for so long... Can anyone help me please? Any local historians? "In Thorneymoor Woods in Nottinghamshire, Thorneymoor Woods in Nottinghamshire, Three game-keepers' houses stood three-square, About a mile from each other they were Orders they were to look out for the deer. Fol de rol, tora lie day Now me and me dogs went out one night The moon and the stars were shining bright O'er hedges and ditches, fields and stiles With my three dogs trotting close by me heels, To catch a fat buck down in Thorneymoor fields..... " It's one of those songs that has to be sung when "me and me dogs went out one night, the moon and the stars were shining bright" ✨???? I know Thorneywood is an area in Notts but that is slightly different (or is it related maybe...?) Anyway full version sung by Anne Briggs is here: https://youtu.be/lTTaZSv27_k I'll also post full version of this somewhere too *This was filmed back in the autumn in an old tunnel in Notts ???????????????
