I'm Rick, a bloke in my mid-50s living solo in suburban Britain, sharing an honest, unscripted look at life over 50. I often joke that I'm a man blessed with a lack of ambition. No hustle culture here. Just quiet, ordinary days lived at my own pace.

What you'll find on this channel:
🏠 Pottering about the house: Small DIY projects, home tinkering, and the simple routines of solo life after 50.
🚐 Camper van days: Sorting the van, heading out for a bit of camping, exploring at my own speed.
🏛️ Exploring interesting places: Telling the stories behind ancient sites and forgotten corners of Britain.
☕ Real talk: Honest reflections on living alone after 50, simple living in the UK, and finding contentment in the ordinary.

Nothing staged. Nothing dramatic. Just real days, as they are.

New videos every week. Subscribe and come along.

I'm also the Voiceover guy from @thehonestguys meditation channel: youtube.com/user/TheHonestGuys

Hi Folks, it’s been a while! (Nearly 4 months!). I’ve finally brushed off the cobwebs and decided it’s time to get things rolling again here on the channel. There are a few small changes coming, nothing dramatic, just a slightly different pace and focus. New Banner too! Quick video coming out tonight at 7pm.
Thanks for still being here — it means a lot.

Come and chat with me tonight in our online Music Festival!
This is a short sample from my 1 hour uplifting DJ Trance session, premiering at 11pm tonight, in the brand new Astro Eye Music Festival VR Showground! on AltSpace (AltVR.com).

My 1-hour feature will be airing following a 2-hour DJ Livestream by Joe Wheeler that starts at 9pm, so my feature will start at around 11pm (GMT -London time).

All are welcome, it's free and you don’t need a VR headset, just a PC or Mac to gain 2D screen access. Just go to AltVR.com, intstall the app and then visit the world at the right time (you may need to go through a quick tutorial, so best to arrive early).
I’ll be in there all evening to say hi, so look out for my username: "JovialWolf" 🐺
If you want to chat, obviously you’ll need a mic connected to your computer 👍

How to join: (go to AltVR.com and look for the Astro-Eye Music Festival under the “Events” tab).

Going to attempt a Livestream event this evening (7:30pm London time) on my DJ ZenWolf Channel (Just search Zenwolf on YouTube). This is a 50-minute stream of fantastic uplifting and euphoric-type trance music anthems. Link to my DJ Channel (youtube.com/c/Zenwolf1).

Looks like YouTube is allowing Facebook style posts now. Just testing this out with a photo of the snow in my back garden :-)
Be interested to know if anyone actually sees this, so please could you let me know by leaving a comment - thanks :o)
