This week’s episode is filled with sunshine, the scent of resin, and the soporific call of pigeon and dove as we explore a little further afield. A visit to Dad on the north Norfolk coast means a change in landscape. Find out why, even though I love walking, I am often very reluctant to talk about it with other walkers!  

 Journal entry:

14th March, Monday

"Fog. 
 Penny and I walk through a soft chilled landscape.

The canal is dark and glassy.
 A small patch of mist boils and parts
 As Cyril emerges, stately and silent.

He eyes me as he glides slowly passed
 Breasting the Arthurian waters." 

 Episode Information:

For information about the beach and woods at Wells-next-the-Sea (audio soundscapes were recorded there: 17.03.2022) you will find this website helpful: The Wells Guide.   

Please visit the noswpod website for photographs of the Corsican Pine woodland at Wells’ beach.

In this episode I read the poem ‘March: Pooley Country Park’ by Vanessa Thomas from the wonderful The Mindful Narrowboat vlog. You can listen to Vanessa recite it and watch her creating her beautiful nature journal here: #93 The 8 Things I Brought to My Tiny Home! | Simplifying My Life
