This week, I'm back reading works from the public domain. This book on birds is such a beautifully written time capsule of what Bath and Wells were like at the turn of the 20th century. I cut in a few times to explain some of the words. Enjoy, and thank you for listening 🤗

For ages I struggled to sleep because my brain is extra active at night. Then I read somewhere about the power of counting back (like counting sheep!) and decided to try it. Long story short- it worked so well that I only get to about 97 from 100 before I'm out like a light! So here I am sharing it with you in the hopes it helps you like it helped me.

This sleep story episode is from a book we've explored before, back in 2022 when this podcast was very first finding its feet. The book is call On The Trail. This time, I'm reading a section about taking a camera with you to photograph wildlife and your camp.

Please let me know if you enjoyed it and share with a friend if you did!

~~A NOTE FROM FRAN~~

I recorded this episode back when the podcast was called Tales For The Tired. Since then, I've branched out to help you with guided meditations and visualisations, as well as sleep stories. The old name didn't make sense anymore, but the coziness remained! That's why you'll now see new links directing you to Get Cozy With Fran. Thank you for listening!
