  Speaker 1: Welcome to Get Sleepy, the podcast where we listen, we relax,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: and we get sleepy. As always, I'm your host, Thomas.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much for being here. Seeing so many
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: of you listening and leaving reviews to say what a
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: difference the podcast has made is just amazing. It really
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: does mean a lot to the team and I. And
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I recognize how deeply fortunate and blessed I am to
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: be able to speak to you. And most importantly, I
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: want us to help each and every one of you
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: to be well rested and to bring some reassurance to
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: your bedtime. And tonight, I hope our story will do
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: just that. It's sprinkled with a little bit of magic
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: where an unexpected discovery will lead us on a very
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: special train journey from the quaint English countryside to the
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: coast and onwards into a deep and peaceful sleep. Now then,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I hope you're feeling comfortable and relaxed. But let's take
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: a short moment here to unwind And make sure we're
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: in the best spot possible to enjoy a good night's sleep.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Feel your head resting gently on the pillow. The soft
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: support it gives your neck muscles. That sense of softness
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: can carry your thoughts away. like clouds drifting by on
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: the breeze. As thoughts arise, you don't need to try
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: and block them out or dismiss them. Just acknowledge the
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: thought and then watch it float away like a soft,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: harmless cloud. now turn your attention to the airflow in
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: and out of your body each breath sustains you it
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: keeps every part of your body functioning and this air
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: that we draw in from our external surroundings means that
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: we are continually connected with nature. With that in mind,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: welcome each breath with openness and connection. Fill your lungs
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: right up as you draw the air in. and then
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: allow it to flow back out with a gentle ease
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: and gratitude for that process. It's easy to lose sight
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: of our oneness with nature, but the nature that made
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: it possible for you me and every living thing to
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: exist is always there. Even when you're laying in bed
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: at night, with each breath we take, our connection is maintained. So,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: as you settle into a state of comfort and rest,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: You can let yourself drift off to sleep whenever you're ready.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: And I'll turn to our story. It begins on a mild,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: rainy day in a peaceful forest. Heavy drops of rain
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: hit your umbrella as you walk slowly through the woods.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: You can hear the leaves of the ash trees high
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: above you, rustling as each droplet lands. Streams of rainwater
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: run down the old oak's trunks and into the soil.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: It may be raining, but you're quite warm and cozy.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: It's one of those spring days when the woods smell
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: rich and full of life. Bluebells cover the woodland floor
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: all around you. There must be wild garlic nearby, too.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: You can smell its sweet aroma. The sound of people
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: laughing and chatting nearby, drifts through the trees. You know
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: the paths around here well, and you have nowhere in
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: particular to be. You pause to watch a blackbird hop
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: across the uneven ground. Its feathers, you notice, aren't just black.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: There's also tinges of purple, dark green and midnight blue. Tiny,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: perfect spheres of water catch on its feathers. The blackbird
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: looks at you for a second before hopping away. You
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: get the feeling he's enjoying the woods today nearly as
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: much as you stopping by a tree stump beside the
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: broad path, you close your eyes and take a big, deep,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: slow breath. Then, just as slowly, you breathe out and relax.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: You can feel the tension in your shoulders and neck
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: fall away, A sense of contentment and gratefulness for the
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: life you see and feel all around washes over you.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: A little further along the path, you come to a
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: familiar crossroads. You could go straight on toward the pond
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: where swans glide across the water with ease. Or you
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: could go right, down a sloping track to the wildflower meadows,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: where you hope you might spot butterflies for the first
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: time this year. Instead, you decide to go left, further
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: into the woods. The trees around you grow thicker, and
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: the sounds of other people grow quieter and more distant.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: The path leads you to a clearing. You can't remember
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: finding this place before, but you're glad you have now.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: A small patch of lush grass is encircled with more
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: ash trees, and to one side is a wooden shed.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: It's covered in creeping ivy, but it looks like it's
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: been freshly painted a deep green. The door is slightly open.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: You wonder if there's something interesting inside. Intrigued, you walk
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: towards the shed. As you near it, You see that
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: there's a shiny brass sign on the door. It reads,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Model Railway. You put your hand out to push the door.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: and it swings open, silently, as though welcoming you inside. This,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: you start to think, must be a very special model
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: railway indeed. Inside, the shed is much bigger than it
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: looked from the outside. It's cool and dark, apart from
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: a single spotlight. On a long table underneath the light
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: is a model railway. There's a train, a station, and
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: beautiful scenery all around. It looks like a perfect piece
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: of English countryside. You can see rolling hills full of
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: sheep and cows, smaller than postage stamps. On a narrow lane,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: there's a row of thatched roof cottages with lines full
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: of washing hanging in their gardens. A dark blue steam
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: engine with two coaches is waiting at the miniature train station. Opposite,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: a tiny water mill and its pond stand quiet and still.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: You lean over the table to get a better look
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: at the scene. In the village, a church with a
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: square tower looks out onto a green where some ducks
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: have settled with their tiny but clearly very fluffy ducklings. Nearby,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: a greengrocer's is taking a delivery of fresh tomatoes and
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: a milk float waits down the road. On the station platform,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: there's a conductor wearing a shirt and waistcoat, who's leaning
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: on a lamppost. Looking around the model, you see the
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: train tracks don't lead back to the station. They go
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: through the village, around the countryside, and into a tunnel.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Where does this mysterious tunnel lead, you wonder? There's something else, too.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: On the edge of the table is a coin slot.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: That must be what makes this railway come to life.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: But you don't think you have any coins to use.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: You put your hand in your pocket. just to check,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: and your fingertips brush a round metal object at the
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: very bottom. That's strange. You don't remember it being there before.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Weighing the coin in your hand, you run a thumb
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: around the cool metal edge, feeling all its chips and
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: scuffs against your skin. The spotlight glints off the coin
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: and you feel a delightful shiver travel down your spine.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: You slip the coin into the slot and close your eyes.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: You take a deep, long breath in and hold it
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: for a few seconds. As you let the breath back out,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: you open your eyes. You find yourself on the platform
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: of a train station somewhere in the English countryside. Glancing around,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: you realize it's the very same one you were looking
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: down on a few moments ago. It's the model railway
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: come to life. Just like in the real world, here
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: it's a warm spring morning. But instead of rain, there
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: are blue skies above you. The sun is burning through
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: the last of the mist which had settled overnight. and
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: the smell of freshly cut grass hangs on the still air.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: You walk a few paces away from the red brick
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: building of the station, and out of the shade, welcoming
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: the feeling of the sun on your face. At the
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: other end of the platform, there's a conductor, She's wearing
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: a shirt, a waistcoat, and has a big smile on
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: her face. She waves to you. Two quick, cheery whistles
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: come from the engine. You'd better hop on board if
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: you'd like to find out where this magical train goes.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: You open the wooden door of the carriage. and step inside.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Just as you settle in to a cozy, red velvet
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: seat in your compartment, another whistle sounds outside. White steam
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: drifts past your window. Peering through the glass, you catch
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: sight of a heron landing gracefully by the millpond As
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: you watch it, the train starts to ease out of
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: the station. Soon, the mill and its water slide out
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: of view. In the fields beside them is a huge orchard.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Dozens and dozens of short, squat apple trees stretch as
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: far as you can see. You're definitely a long way
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: away from the shed in the woods, you think. In
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: the orchard, the apple trees are thick with blossom. Over
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: the summer, those petals will fall to the ground and
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: the first buds of fruit will start to grow. Day
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: by day, they'll get bigger, rounder, riper, and juicier. In
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: a few months, these fields will be full of people
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: picking plump green Bramley apples and speckled royal galas. But
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: for now, the only sound in the fields is is
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: the singing of the thrushes and blackbirds and the click-clack
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: rhythm of the steam engine. The coach is warm and
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: rocks gently as you pass the orchard. The velvet of
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: the seat feels soft against the back of your arm.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Your breathing slows down. and you feel your body rock
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: with the motion of the train. As the trees start
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: to thin, the grass in the fields becomes shorter and tidier.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Cows and sheep chew lazily under the bright blue sky.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Behind a stone wall, there's a cricket pit. a crowd
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: of people wearing white are walking out to start the
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: day's play. The edge of the pitch slopes gradually away,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: and beyond another wall, the grass turns into a pebble
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: beach by a wide and winding river. Willow trees overhang
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: the river, the very tips of their limbs just touching
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: the slow current. You wonder how long these trees have
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: been here as the water runs by. day after day,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: month after month, and year after year. The steam engine's
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: shuffling beat slows a little as it follows the bend
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: of the river to the left You're close enough to
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: the water now to see the odd fish basking in
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: the shallows. That fresh, pure water would feel so lovely
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: to swish your hand through. Soft, clear, and refreshing. You
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: can almost feel the gentle pull of the tide tugging
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: at your fingertips. and the prickle of cool water against
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: the hairs on the back of your hand. Soon, the
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: river and the rails part. In the distance, you notice
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: a sandstone outcrop rising into the clear sky. At the
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: base of it is a tunnel the same one that
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: puzzled you in the shed. It's gradually getting closer and closer.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Where will it lead, you wonder now. You put your
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: face to the window to look back as the train's
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: path curves gently to the left. The glass is warm
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: against your cheek you can see the whole village spread
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: out before you through a rising heat haze which shimmers
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: up from the ground as the sun beats down. There's
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: the river and the cricket pitch, the orchards and the fields,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: the church and the mill. Everything is calm and still
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: after one last look behind you you shut your eyes
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: and sit back in your seat everything goes dark as
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: the train enters the tunnel you take time to check
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: in with your body feeling for any aches or tensions
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: With one deep breath, any discomfort falls away. You feel
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: settled and your body is pleasantly heavy on the seat.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: You know you've emerged from the tunnel when suddenly the
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: darkness turns to a cool, bluish light. you open your eyes.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Towering snow-covered spruce and pine trees slip by a few
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: feet away from the carriage window. It's as if this
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: magical train has taken you through time and space, from
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: English spring to alpine winter. The trees part and an
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: amazing view greets you. The tunnel has brought you to
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: the bottom of a wide valley bounded by huge, craggy mountains.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: The snowfall, which covers the fields between the train and
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: the mountain slopes, is fresh and thick. It looks like
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: there could be more yet to fall from the deep
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: gray clouds above. Before you can see any further, the
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: trees thicken again. But then you notice that the trees
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: are traveling past your window more and more slowly. You
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: leave your compartment and walk into the corridor to look
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: out of the window on the other side of the carriage.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: In this direction, there are boulders frosted with snow, and sheer,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: dark grey cliffs rising towards the sky. The tracks must
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: be following the curve of another mountain, You feel the
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: brakes tightening as the train comes to a smooth stop
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: at a tiny station. You see that it's simply a
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: concrete platform with a few bright red seats under a
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: plastic shelter. The lack of buildings gives you a clear
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: view back down the valley from your window. In front
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: of you, a blanket of untouched white snow stretches into
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: the middle distance, and great sloping banks of pine trees
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: reach up the valley's sides. The vast fields narrow towards
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: a cluster of huge mountains, clouds swirl around their high,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: craggy peaks. You think you'll have a look around this
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: station while you've got the chance. You're still wearing the
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: jacket you put on to walk in the woods, but
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: you suspect it might not be enough for the winter
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: wonderland outside. Just as you start to wonder what to do,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: an overhead locker pops open. A pair of thick black
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: winter gloves falls out. Smiling, you pick them up and
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: open the locker. How lucky, there's a knitted hat in
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: there too, made of white wool flecked with grey. and
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: a long padded jacket. Slipping it on, it feels like
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: you're snuggled up in bed under a soft, warm quilt.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: You stroll to the end of the carriage, putting on
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: the hat and gloves as you go. When you reach
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: the door, You turn the silver handle to open it
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: and step lightly onto the snow-covered platform with a satisfying crunch.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: The powder is even deeper than you thought it would be.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: A slight breeze blows the very top layer of snow
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: past your ankles in twisting spirals. and your nose and
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: cheeks tingle in the chilled alpine air. From here, you
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: can see the whole of the valley spread out ahead
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: of you. These mountains have been here, silent and restful,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: for thousands of years. you realize. The peaks remember when
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: the whole world was one continent. They've seen the sun
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: rise and set millions of times, and they'll keep looking
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: on for millions more. Their great ridges and spines were
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: formed Slowly and patiently, wind, water, and time shaped these mountains.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: No matter how big something feels, how overwhelming and unchanging,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: with enough time and patience, little by little, it can
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: transform into something new. You take a moment and feel
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: yourself filling up with gratitude for the scene in front
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: of you. Magical as the view is, the warm carriage
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: is calling. You retrace your steps, climbing back inside. In
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: a few moments, the train starts moving again. The forest
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: thickens outside the window as you take off your hat
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: and gloves and the padded jacket and stow them back
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: in the locker just as you close it the train
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: enters another magical tunnel you can't wait to see where
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: this one leads All at once, the greys and whites
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: of the mountains turn to a hazy blue, and the
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: sound of heaving, rolling surf fills the carriage. You're now
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: trundling along a track right at the very edge of
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: the ocean. Between the water and the shallow cliff along
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: which the track runs is a sandy beach. But it
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: must be high tide. You're so close to the water
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: you feel like you could touch it. You stand and
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: slide open the carriage window. The smell of the cool
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Salty spray fills your nose. A warm breeze ruffles your clothes.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: From here, it looks like the ocean goes on forever.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: To your right, the sun is still just above the headlands,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: which reach out into the sea. Its wraiths sparkle on
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: the water. Just beyond where the waves are breaking, you
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: see a gentle splash, and what looks like a light brown,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: furry head bobbing above the surface. Then, another, and another.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: What could they be? Now the little creatures look like
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: they're floating on their backs. That's when you realize they
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: are sea otters. You're very lucky to witness one of
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: these adorable creatures. They love nothing more than diving down
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: into kelp forests to look for food and can hold
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: their breath for up to five minutes while they twist
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: and play in the cool depths of the ocean. Sea
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: otters have a special pouch in the fur on their
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: chests in which they keep food. They float along the
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: surface of the water, nibbling at shellfish and clam. They
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: look out for each other too. Groups of otters have
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: been known to join paws while they rest, swim and eat,
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: making rafts to keep a group together. Sometimes families of
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: otters even use kelp to tie themselves to one another
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: and stop themselves drifting apart. Back in the ocean, the
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: otters are floating along and watching your train chug by slowly.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: You blink and in an instant, they're gone. Settling back
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: in your seat, your eyelids start to feel heavy. It
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: might be time to go home. As if in reply
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: the steam engine peeps its whistle. Just as the train
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: enters another tunnel you let your eyes drift closed. Opening
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: them once again you see the familiar orchards through the window.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: It's cooler now and the sun is low in the sky.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Streaks of purple and pink light dance on high, thin
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: clouds above you. The smell of springtime fills the carriage
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: through the open window. The day is drawing to a close.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: The rhythm of the train's wheels on the tracks gets
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: slower and slower as a familiar village pulls into view
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: outside your window. There's the church, the mill, the blossom-laden trees.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: It feels like you were only here half an hour ago.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: But as you step off the train, you can sense
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: that it's the end of a long day. As the
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: sun dips below the horizon, you shut your eyes and
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: take a long breath in. And then you slowly let
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: it out. Opening your eyes once more, you realize you're
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: back in the shed that you found in the wood.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: Below you, petite as ever, is the magical model railway.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: The door to the shed swings open. Outside, the rain
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: has cleared The sun just about peaks over the tops
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: of the trees. You can't have been gone too long though.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: The grass is still wet. It's time to head back home.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Leaving the shed, you walk slowly across the grass. towards
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: the path you were on this morning. The sounds of
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: people talking and laughing drift back to you from the
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: rest of the woods, along with the odd sound of
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: a swan. You steal a glance back at the shed
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: as you get to the trees. But, to your surprise,
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: there's nothing there. In fact, there's no sign that there
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: was ever anything there at all. Where the building had been,
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: there's only grass, standing tall and glossy and slick with rain. Smiling,
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: you walk through the trees. Maybe one day you'll come
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: back here again and find that magical model railway once more.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: You hope so. But you get the feeling that if
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: you're meant to have another adventure, it will come and
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: find you A blackbird skips across the path in front
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: of you, a twig in its mouth. The sunshine, which
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: breaks through the trees above you, bounces in shining pools
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: of light on the woodland floor, which still glistens with
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: the last of this morning's rain. With one final deep breath,
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: in and out, you head to the comfort of home.
