Показать описание
This is part of a series of simple, sometimes-festive but always-cosy videos to take us all the way through December, up to Christmas Day.
(*Except this advent calendar series, which is not on Early Access, because advent calendars need to be a surprise!)

Intro music is Christmas Village by Aaron Kenny - from the YouTube Audio Library

Really enjoying the Advent calendar. The 'chirp' sound reminds me of my childhood and a big bag of marbles.

Excellent video and the idea that you turned random videos into an advent calendar is brilliant. I have to admit I wait each day like a child to open the next door for my surprise. At 70 having a lovely surprise to sit and watch is wonderful.

I live in the Caribbean and we find fossilized coral that often has similar patterns as your favorite rock! The wiggly lines make me think of brain coral, and the nested circles remind me of coral polyps. It makes me wonder if it wasn't part of a coral reef at some point. Really cool!

I enjoyed the tiny rock bidding us farewell as it escaped 😊

i love the focus on the five senses in the advent so far!! videos have such an emphasis in sight and sound, mostly sight, but we've had such a pleasure watching you experience everything, from describing the tastes of traditional dishes, the different smells throughout the forest, how it feels to rub on rock textures, hear their clicking, etc! it really helps to remind us how many simple joys are all around us and how much life truly has to celebrate :)

This video is so relaxing. It's proof that you can slow the pace all the way down and still have a video that captivates people.

I don't know if this is why rocks make you happy, but I always love the thought of something so beautiful that has existed since time immemorial which has been ignored or unseen by generations, suddenly discovered by me, just at the right moment at that time at that place. There's something special about that serendipity - a connection to the past, and a unique personal, private joy.

This is the best advent calendar ever. Thank you for that because Christmas doesn't really mean much for me lately. Not a lot of close friends, no significant other, no children (by choice), and not close to most of my family because reasons. And my mother is a Jehovah's witness convert so Dad and I pretty much gave up on celebrating since i got old and theres no children around really to go all out for. Makes me kind of wistful of many because i can remember how Christmas used to feel, and i see others experience it, but i dont as much anymore.

This is an incredible advent calendar. I could watch this man talk about polished stones all day.

So now that you've admitted to relocating stones from the beach at Lyme Regis. I feel I can confess to always acquiring a stone from every holiday location I've been to as a memento. They live, ( labelled on the undersides) in my garden and bring back some lovely memories - much better than most of the tat in the gift shops - and yes, they make me happy!

they sound like marbles. you should start a vase for the pits and chips that fall off and see how long it takes to fill it up that would be interesting.

As a 32 year old mother of four boys I never imagined I’d watch with such avid interest a video about rocks! Just a testament to you Mr Shrimp, you make everything interesting and joyous! Me and my eldest son love to watch your videos together. I love the random selection of information you give and the way in which you give it.
I just want to say thank you for allowing us into your mind and world and we all appreciate you! Have a wonderful Christmas to you Mike, Jenny and Eva 😊

It is like magic how they polish up. In the same way a dull rough bit of wood just pops with colour and features. ❤

I think my mother would have very much enjoyed your videos. She sadly passed a few years back, but she was a devoted nature lover, and a dabbler in most forms of science she could get her hands on. I remember one year, we picked up some lovely stones along the shores of Lake Michigan, and she brushed off her old rock tumbler from the 1970's, to shine them up. Running those stones through my fingers was one of my childhood joys.

they sound exactly like those two black shiny magnets that you get at the arcade

Mike’s favourite rock is beautiful, and I can see why it makes him happy. To have found, polished and revealed its beauty himself can only add to the purely sensory pleasure of seeing and handling it. Nice one Mike.

I have a small German made vase that makes me happy. I bought it for £3 from an 'antique' shop, but it's not all that old and it's certainly not all that pretty. He (yes he's male) fits in my palm and tells me about the people who made him and how he got to the UK. He brings me

Have you heard of the idea of ‘pocket rocks’? I may have just made it up but I don’t know for certain. recently I bought a beautiful small polished stone at a rock and mineral show in Bakewell, Derbyshire. I carry it in my pocket to hold or to take out and look at because it pleases my hand and eye.

I love how these advent calendar videos seem to be bits of previous videos that I wasn't so sure would get a part 2. Glad to see the continuity even if it was just determined to just be part of a holiday special.
