We had a little flurry of ‘Feasts and Fables’ playlists ... I think my favourite is Feasts and Fables III a classical compilation for Sunday mornings. We should maybe create a couple of new ones. The writing exercise is very creative. I’ll bookmark this and see if a moment pops up to have a gentle go. Hendrix went too early ... and Prince. You wonder what music they’d be making now. Oh, and I’m not a listener to music when I’m walking sort of soul - but I do remember how it helped with marathon training to have some sounds for company. Lovely post.

Thanks for the mention here Sarah, means a lot! I've been in a long phase of listening to podcasts rather than music while I walk, but I need to get back to music one day – it can be a lot more enriching. Also find it gets imprinted on whichever landscape you're walking – you start to associate a particular view with a song you had playing at the time, the same way certain smells can trigger childhood memories.
