{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"REFLECTIONS and RHYME","slug":"reflectionsandrhyme","podcastDescription":"

This is a sanctuary where I keep my reflections and musings about my countryside upbringing in Derbyshire, England. I reflect on village life, school days, growing up and most things inbetween, including parts of life which we all face such as “The Joys of Ageing” and “Getting through” difficult times.
