- Wonderful
I’ve listened to this about 15 times. It first kept me company on New Year’s Eve 2013 in a tiny Fawlty Towers-like B&B in Scotland😆. I keep coming back because I hear something in a way I hadn’t before. It is so enjoyable and Neil makes me feel like I’m right there looking at the objects with him. I never tire of this program.
