S1 E18 - bonus episode - sounds of the sea.

Today's bonus episode was recorded on 11th September - on the last afternoon of my short holiday on the South Devon coast and as promised, at the end of Episode 15 - I wanted to share with you the sounds of the sea - without the interruption of talking.

I wanted to do this because it's really such a beautiful sound - and a very distinct one - so it might be fairly easy for you to close your eyes and see in your mind's eye the beach or piece of coast that you last visited, and so transport you to a place of good memories.

Following my return from the seaside, I also realised how valuable these sounds could be to those of you who have not had a chance to visit the sea in some while, or who might struggle to get out of the house. On the first morning of my holiday - I spoke to my grandma who has been house-bound for a number of years, and was unable to travel any distance even before that. I called her from the beach where I recorded this episode - so that she could listen to the waves. It had been a couple of decades since she was able to visit the sea, and she told me how much it meant to her to be able to hear it. How good just those few moments made her feel and the good memories that the sound conjured.

And so for those of you who love the sea but who have not seen it for a while - for any reason - I hope that this brings some joy,

Thank you so much for listening - and please get in touch via voicemail at https://anchor.fm/naturespot or the https://www.instagram.com/naturespotpodcast/ Instagram account.
