"Since the Covid-19 crisis began, I've been keeping a diary.  I was inspired by my grandfather, whose diaries from the First World War are my most treasured possession.  I thought that walking through the grounds of Copped Hall, a restoration project where I volunteer, might make an interesting soundscape, with short excerpts from the two diaries."

Part of the #StayHomeSounds project, documenting and reimagining the sounds of the global coronavirus lockdown around the world - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/covid19-sounds
