‘I just love the soundscapes. I spend a lot of time working from home and the job can get, well you know, quite rough at times. The sounds help give a different perspective as though rather than in four walls I am out in the country ... yes even with the kids and the dogs and whatever. Really easy and soothing.’
Listener Neil loves the ‘soundscape’ episodes of Hello You
And he’s not alone. Every time I publish an episode with even a brief soundscape in it, I get appreciative messages like Neil’s.
I’d not done a simple soundscape for a while, so here’s one that I hope will help you through the week.
As always, let me know what you think.

Bench!
I’ve planned a few more Bench sessions. This is where I sit on a bench in a public place, and record conversations with whoever else sits on the bench with me. It might be you, coming along because you know I’ll be there and you have something to say, a story to tell or a topic you want to talk about.
It might be a complete stranger who just happens to sit next to me. What’s on their mind? What is their story?
So, here’s when and where I’ll be sitting on a bench over the coming weeks. Come and say hello?
Saturday July 25 (this Saturday!) - the bench outside the Happy Bap café in Bishops Castle, 12:30pm
Monday July 27 (Bank Holiday Monday!) - a bench at Lyth Hill, 11am
Friday July 31 - in The Square in Much Wenlock, 1pm
Tuesday June 11 - in Mumma’s Emporium on Shrewsbury’s Pride Hill, 12:30pm
Friday June 21 - by the Weir in Shrewsbury, 1pm
Tuesday July 2 - one or more of the benches on Shrewsbury’s St Mary’s Place, 1pm
Friday July 12 - at the top of Shrewsbury’s Pride Hill, 1pm
Take care of yourself, and enjoy the sunshine!
