  • Sound Escape 188. Sitting by the banks of a canal

    Sound Escape 188. Sitting by the banks of a canal
    Sep 27 2024
    You're beside a canal, enjoying a few stolen hours fishing – but really it's an opportunity to relax alone beside the water after the busy summer. A September breeze jostles the weary leaves and the dark, damp, earthy smells of autumn rise with the songs of robins. BBC Countryfile Magazine's Sound Escapes are a weekly audio postcard from the countryside to help you relax and transport you somewhere beautiful, wherever you happen to be. Recorded by Fergus Collins, introduced by Hannah Tribe. Email the Plodcast team – and send your sound recordings of the countryside – to: theplodcast@countryfile.com Learn more about your ad choices.
