Episode 134: Chasing Butterflies... and Knitting a Donkey | Knitting | Nature | Piano music

I began this week's podcast thinking that it would be rather a short one as I didn't think I had much to chat about and then found that it was actually longer than usual! I had been feeling a little uninspired about what to include this week, other than the process of knitting a donkey and his dungarees... then I realised that I hadn't yet introduced you to my new piano, something which, for me, is an important tool for contributing to the making of my podcasts, and I also made a short video of the bees and butterflies that I was able to video on one of my recent walks which has a backing of some of the recordings that I've made on my new piano!
