In which we go to the beach in Wales, messing around in the sea and spotting jellyfish. Meanwhile we also, somehow, actually have an evening out without the kids and go to the pub for some music and (maybe) drunk.
In which we go to Kidderminster Carpet Museum to see the Looms, one of which features for pretty much the whole 20 minutes. Isobel gets a certificate for catching spiders with a glass, we go for a walk in the woods, and play the Ukulele.
Off to London for the journalism awards, Modesty does some singing and gets graded by a somewhat harsh Isobel, who has her own special way of saying goodnight.

In this episode I get slightly lost in the South Bank while recording the sounds, I end up accidentally sitting in-front of a huge audience with Ed Miliband and Isobel has a baby, and un-relatedly helps to build a desk.
In this episode I record my commute down to London, the kids for a walk in the woods and do some bird spotting, Charlie has her birthday and I talk about homeschooling a bit.
An experimental podcast while I figure out how to use all the tools. I wanted to aim for something like an audio scrapbook, part diary, part field records and part way to capture the children playing. Featuring...
