Today we have two short stories that were written and are read by Cecilia from The Kitchens Garden.
Thank you so much for popping in today and I hope you enjoy this reader supported podcast - these podcasts are FREE for ALL of May 2023.
Don’t forget these podcasts are unedited (and probably always will be) because I have way too much fun reading them to get all fancy and cut the mistakes out!
Have a lovely day.
Cecilia

Letters to My Mother, The Collection, is a series of stories from my childhood growing up on a beach on New Zealand many, many years ago. They are interesting to untangle because they are written by an adult (me) using the memories of a child (me). Which makes them as interesting to write, as I hope they are to read, or listen to.
I would also like to gently offer that I am presenting these stories to you from my solitary desk in the midwest and I would be ever so grateful if you were able to throw a few dollars into my hat via the subscription.
$5 a month will help keep me off the streets and in tea and cranberry shortbreads. Check ABOUT to read more.
The Boatbuilders Daughter (audio unedited)
I have happy memories as a very young child being read stories... a long long time ago. As an adult it is such a gift to be read a story especially a story that is personal and meaningful, and you do it so gently that I find myself shifting focus from my world to the one you are reading.
I just LOVE listening to you read. You have such a calm voice and I love the descriptions. I see that I can read them for myself, but I don't need more things to read over the internet. Usually I avoid recorded things (especially videos), but I can work on little projects while you read.
I've recorded books myself (for my granddaughter) and I love reading out loud to people. I found that she's no longer listening to my recordings, so I wish I had an audience like you do. But I don't write my own stories. Thank you for doing this.
