A field of ploughed red soil leads down to a hedged lane.

Red Devon soil near South Hams.

For the Christmas season, the team at Seen & Unseen Aloud have put together Christmas Compilations from the past year: sit back and enjoy a curated stroll down memory lane - have we picked your favourites?

In the second of our Christmas compilations, it's my turn to pick my favourites.

Pondering the power of place and how it roots us and asks us to play our part here and beyond.
Of the seven deadly sins Pride is egotism with a capital E.
How an aspect of the Christmas inspires an ethical response to social censure.

Thanks for listening.
