Join me for a quiet walk to Peel Tower in Lochwinnoch, a mysterious ruin overlooking Castle Semple Loch in Renfrewshire, Scotland.

In this short clip, I share the legend of the Warlock of Peel Tower — a tale passed down through local folklore — and explore how this lonely tower connects myth, landscape, and history.

🏰 Location: Peel Tower, Lochwinnoch, Scotland

Peel Tower,  Lochwinnoch, Scotland (transcript is available))


Oh, je voudrais tant que tu te souviennes,
Des jours heureux quand nous étions amis,
Dans ce temps là, la vie était plus belle,
Et le soleil plus brûlant qu’aujourd’hui.
Les feuilles mortes se ramassent à la pelle,
Tu vois je n’ai pas oublié.
Les feuilles mortes se ramassent à la pelle,
Les souvenirs et les regrets aussi,
Et le vent du nord les emporte,
Dans la nuit froide de l’oubli.
Tu vois, je n’ai pas oublié,
La chanson que tu me chantais…
C’est une chanson, qui nous ressemble,
Toi qui m’aimais, moi qui t’aimais.
Nous vivions, tous les deux ensemble,
Toi qui m’aimais, moi qui t’aimais.
Et la vie sépare ceux qui s’aiment,
Tout doucement, sans faire de bruit.
Et la mer efface sur le sable,
Les pas des amants désunis.
Nous vivions, tous les deux ensemble,
Toi qui m’aimais, moi qui t’aimais.
Et la vie sépare ceux qui s’aiment,
Tout doucement, sans faire de bruit.
Et la mer efface sur le sable
Les pas des amants désunis…



Jacques Prevert is considered one of the leading French poets of the 20th century and Les Feuilles mortes is his most famous poem. “Les Feuilles mortes” literally means “Dead Leaves”. Thus the title of the poem is symbolic of the paradoxical co-existence of the past and the present. The poem is about the power of memory and it stresses how the painful experiences of the past can never be completely forgotten. The poet tells the reader that even though one does not wish to consciously remember the past, seeing certain things involuntarily reminds one of past experiences. Remembering the past brings back to the poet both joy of pleasant moments and sadness of his loss of love. Despite their separation, the poet still appreciates the value of his love in his life. The deceptively simple style of Autumn Leaves hides its subtle and profound psychological power.

Chapter 17 The Escape

This is a short introduction podcast sumamrising what the full series of podcasts will cover:

If you ever googled "How to create a resume" or "How to write a covering letter" or "What are the top 10 most common interview questions" then you are not alone. We have all done it. And what do we learn from these searches? That there are no right answers, there are just thousands and thousands of different questions, resume formats and tips on covering letters. And you end up not knowing where to start!

Now add to this problem the fact that English might not be your first language and the role you are applying for requires you to communicate in English every day, then it is no surprise that this entire process is daunting.

I will help you change the way you think about the application process - to simplify it and to personalise it; to understand that it is a matching process where you are looking for a job that matches your ambitions and skills, and where the company in looking for people that match their role requirements.

I'll teach you a few simple techniques that will prepare you to answer almost any question in a clear and effective way. We will take you through the application process starting with the most important aspect: you, your skills, your goals; and then we will move on to how to create a brilliant resume and covering letter and how to prepare for and deliver an authentic and confident interview.

I will also give you the key phrases and grammar you need to be successful in each of those steps.

こんばんは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

この前話した冬の運動の話の続きです。
北海道では、1月2月3月と雪がたくさん降ります。
ぼくはランニングをするのが好きですが、今の時期はさすがに走っていません。走ることはできますが、雪が道路に残っているので、すべりそうで怖いです。なので走っていません。とはいえ、何もしなければどんどん体重は増えるばかりなので、他の運動をしたいと思っていろいろと考えていました。

結果、自宅でエアロバイクをレンタルする、ということにしました。それで、今日、そのエアロバイクが届きました。組み立てて、使ってみました。一応、負荷を変えられるようになっているので、いろいろ変えてみましたが、最大の負荷にしても、そんなに重くなりませんでした。でも、長い時間走っているとそれなりに筋肉は使うので、何もしないよりは全然良いなと思いました。

ちょっと続けて使ってみないと効果があるかはわかりませんが、家の中で安全な環境で、YouTube見たり、Duolingoで言語学習をしたりしながら、運動ができると思うとめっちゃ良いなと思います。

これをきっかけに最近できていなかった運動をがんばろうと思います！

みなさんは自宅で何かトレーニングとかしてますか？
続けるためのコツとかありますか？
そんな話をオンラインレッスンで話しましょう！
お待ちしていますね！

ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！
