If you remember last week’s post, over the past few years I have found much solace in various YouTube channels. This week, technology, history and a madcap farm.
As before, I am linking each subheading directly to each channel’s page on the YouTube site, rather than select a typical video or thumbnail. The description is that provided by the channel’s own information panel, which is why it often reads weirdly.

Cruising The Cut
Cruising The Cut is about the historic canals of Britain. I (David Johns) quit my job in 2015, sold my house and went to live on a narrowboat. Initially videos of my travels, I now document various aspects of canal life.
Caen Hill Farm
Greetings to our YouTube channel where I will be sharing more videos, including the farm rush hour videos from the Caenhill Countryside Centre farm charity. The charity based in Devizes, England. Supports young people and rescue animals. The farm is 70 acres and all animals have a forever home, stress free. We have many amazing animals including Eli the donkey, Oreo the dog, Widget the cow, drama cat Wilson, Bumblebee the sheep, Horace the pig and of course Mo our wonderful runner duck. In total over 350 amazing animals.
Vandemonium
I (David Johns, again) videoed my conversion of a Toyota Proace van (same as a Citroen Dispatch / Peugeot Expert) into a campervan. I’d never done anything like this before but had watched a YouTube videos. How hard could it be, eh? Then later videos are my trips in the van and any updates and modifications.
Drachinifel
(I have had to make something up for this description. The channel host hasn’t made much effort. Perhaps the depth and width confounded him, too!)
How to describe this channel? Spanning most of history up to 1945, Drach covers five minute histories of specific warships, naval architecture (that’s ship design), in-depth videos on naval battles, anything to do with military shipping, really.
