(The first ten episodes of my podcast are snippets of sound. During the summer of 2021 I began to develop an interest in making sound recordings while on my walks. There is no speech in the episodes and they are quite short. I have included them mostly as they bring back pleasant memories for me of nice days out). In recent years, in the summer months I've got into the habit of going out walking with my dog early in the morning. Today I discovered as the year rolls swiftly on that it was still dark when I left home at my usual time. Twilight when I reached the woods just after 6.00am. It was delightful and I heard an owl quite a way off. I find hearing these birds quite thrilling as I've not heard them often in my life.
