Excellent build up!… this is the first audio I have heard (sorry I am bit late checking in with you guys again!). Love the feeling of listening to the sounds and imagining I am there too. Totally different to video I am realising. Video doesn’t leave any space for my own imagination to teleport myself there with you :-)
Loving it!

Thanks Lise and yep, I completely agree with you about audio and video. We decided to record audio while we were living without electricity (on our boat) and just listening to a battery powered radio (no video or internet)… We realised how amazingly immediate audio could be and, like you say, how much room it leaves for the imagination. If it’s done well, it’s a bit like reading a good book, I think. Hopefully we’ll get there on the “done well” front :-) Anyway, thank you!
Hi Bexy how amazing to hear little glimpses of the journey. It’s a beautiful thing what you’re doing and creating. Love you heaps, Gilly in tomato land. (yep we’re picking again).xx
