This was just so lovely to read, and listen to - I really like that you're recording outdoors, it just adds that little something, makes the whole thing into an experience rather than "just" reading

Thanks so much Sophie! If I can make extra work for myself, I invariably do 😂 However it does feel nice to ‘give’ the words back to Nature.

Beautiful writing Michela - I love all the tiny details you capture around you from the landscape to your fleece hat - I feel I am there.

I love the precision of your descriptions, Michela. Listening to this was like taking a long, deep breath and finding myself within the rowans and robins and rain. Thank you.

From a very dry west Australia, I love the feeling of mizzle on my skin (and the word!!) Thank you as always for taking me into the beauty of your nature with you.

Hello Gaye, and thank you for reminding me to be grateful for our rain. I wonder why it is that our mostly moderate climate prompts us to talk about the weather? Perhaps it is its variability, or it neatly sidesteps our social awkwardness! I’m glad you enjoyed this.

Beautiful as always. You truly have a gift to project the reader into the nature you're writing about. I feel like I can almost touch the cobwebs and hear the robins. Thank you so much, this was such a soothing read for the soul.

And just to add that I enjoyed your recording as well, with the wind and birdsong in the background xx
