The Window Diary

Leisure EN ↓ 50 episodes

Most of us have at one point stopped to look out of a window. But have you ever stopped to take in the view? Really thought about what it is you are seeing? And what changes happen every day? What started as a simple diary of an average garden became a journey of observation, learning and mindfulness. And all through one window. Join me on this journey as I learn the plants, insects and animals that make up my view. And join me in my garden any time you wish simply by closing your eyes and listening.
