Whilst I do say hello at the beginning of this episode, this is mostly a non-verbal podcast.

I've been particularly enjoying listening to the sounds of my hillside recently—standing at my gate or walking out into the field up to the Caterpillar of Oaks has been very calming

I wanted to try and capture some of that peace and calmness for you and so decided I'd try my hand at making you a soundwalk. Ounce joined me for the walk and George and Louise make a guest appearance towards the end.

Below are some timestamps to help you follow along. I'd recommend listening with headphones if you can.
