When we were in Sweden, I started recording a podcast called Letter from Sweden. I finished the podcasts with one final recording called Letter from Farnham. Rather than continually paying for hosting, I’ve put them all here. For free.
I continued recording my Letter from Sweden for the Talking Newspaper after discussing it with Charles, Tim, Ann and Clive at a lunch organised in July 2023. In January 2024 we spent three months in Lymington in the New Forest. I changed the title to Letter from Lymington.
[Letters written following our time in Sweden and our return to Farnham, originally written for the Farnham and Alton Talking Newspaper then re-recorded here. All work is my own.]
