Thanks for sharing the view from your window, Adrienn.
When I invited the world into my own little life, it never occurred to me how I would become such an intimate part of other people’s.
Thanks for listening 🙂

I’m listening to your podcast while having my breakfast on a Saturday morning, in the grey inner city-Budapest. Lovely to be pulled away from the concrete walls I see when I look out of the windows! 🙂

You’re right: Africa – or certainly the villages and the bush – does still have a life-affirming variety of dawn choruses.
Here in Diani on Kenya’s Indian Ocean this week, I’m hearing rather different nocturnal noises: dwarf bushbabies!
They woke me up three times last night. I keep reaching for my recorder, but haven’t managed to capture their sound yet… I will keep trying (just for you). x

Wonderful podcast, noises of the African night, the singing of the birds by day! All to be enjoyed, and even better to go there and see and hear for yourself. Africa still has a dawn chorus!

In reply to Sarah Margiotta.

Thanks for listening in Sarah
I agree …
That’s why I say people like you and me (and almost every visitor or expat I’ve ever met in Uganda) wants to stay… or wants to come back.

It’s so true what Rob said that “You’ve only got to get people here once…” Friends who’ve come to visit me have come back again and again – they can’t seem to get enough 😉

In reply to Lizzie. When I have to laugh at the craziness of it all - I mean, lying in bed listening to chimpanzees? Bats flying in and out of my house? Being woken up by elephants knocking down trees?! It's nuts, innit!

I love the way you make the interviews fun with little giggles. The background sounds are delicious. Close your eyes and we are in the forest with you!
