BBC Radio 4, poking a bit of fun at itself. Very nicely done.
How The Archers sounds to people who do not listen to The Archers
(This will probably be completely meaningless to anyone who hasn’t spent significant amounts of time in the UK in the last 60 years. Of course, The Archers does include some important news stories occasionally…)
Many thanks to Tom Standage for the link.
We’ve escaped to the Lake District for a few days, and, as we turned off the main road and came down the side of Ullswater, we got the sudden urge to be on it instead of beside it, so we rented a small boat from the very nice people at the Glenridding Sailing Centre. I think it was just about the first one they’d rented this season.
Tilly has limited experience of boats, and wasn’t too sure what to make of it, but quickly settled down. I haven’t sailed much in a long time, but spent many happy days in my childhood doing this. Very nostalgic.
The Inn on the Lake at Glenridding caught the sunlight nicely at one point.
And when I got distracted by the view, Tilly would keep a close eye on the set of my sails.
