About this episode

This one was such a joy to make. It is such a beautifully crafted rhyme and it becomes more apparent each time you read it. I've created a kind of mash-up with the beautiful hymn Angels we Have Heard on High (see credit below). It's my favourite piece of Christmas music and the rhythm seemed to match this piece well. There's not much more to be said, apart from a very merry Christmas to you all, thank you so much for listening.
