Weekly Vlog: Why Sloths Are So Slow & Starting The Railway Children - Episode 196

Welcome back to the channel! In this episode, I’m sharing some special moments from the past week, including stories about my great-grandchildren, Mila and George, and their adventures with our knitted friends. We also take a look into the fascinating world of sloths—did you know they have their own ecosystem in their fur? Plus, I start a new reading of the classic The Railway Children. I’d love to hear your thoughts on whether you'd like me to continue reading this story in future episodes. As always, thank you so much for joining me for a "Chinwag." Your support and comments mean the world to me. 00:00 - Monday: Weekly Vlog Introduction 00:00:12 - Mila & George’s visit and the "Jail" game 00:00:46 - Meet the Knitted Creatures (Charlie, Plop the Owl, Holly the Hedgehog & more) 00:04:24 - Edward the Sloth makes an appearance 00:05:12 - A beautiful view of the sea 00:06:26 - Tuesday: Wimbledon week and a seaside walk 00:07:06 - Fascinating facts about Sloths and moths 00:09:44 - Starting a new reading: The Railway Children by E.
