Episode 122: plant care soundscape (with added Wolfie)
Thanks to illustrator Ciara Long for designing this beautiful image of me and Wolfie surrounded by some of my favourite plants.

Join me as I potter about tending houseplants, in a soundscape that’s meant to be companionable, not informative. This is no regular episode of On The Ledge, but it’s the perfect way to escape if the festivities get a bit much, or perhaps you just want to hear what it sounds like when I give Wolfie a brush while I wait for the kettle to boil!
This episode was inspired by the recent soundscape episodes released by long-running British Radio 4 soap, The Archers. If you’ve never heard of this programme, here’s an explainer.
