Look, you get born, you keep your head down, and then you die. If you’re lucky.

  • The sound of an English country garden on a Sunday in summer.

    This is a composite of several sounds all of which must be quiet or distant enough to not be a distraction but which in conjunction are glorious:

    • childrens’ laughter just far away enough to not be bothersome
    • bees buzzing from flower to flower
    • a propeller-driven light aircraft from a nearby aerodrome (ideally this would be a vintage plane with a Merlin engine, gently warbling in the distance)
    • the sound of leather on willow, and the occasional call and muted cheer, from a cricket match on the village green
    • the gentle burble of a stream
    • church bells, far enough away that their individual peels almost blend into each other
    • the clink of ice as someone pours a perfect gin and tonic.
