    CROWDSOURCERY! Happy Places...

    We investigate your happy places in the East of England, where you go to rest and recalibrate.  A lot of our contributors choose water, some pick pooch walking, long countryside ambles ofwhich we have many.  And coffee shops are ever a popular place to watch your fellow humans and enjoy the benefits of a well-crushed Arabica bean.. 
    The makers of this podcast apologise to Scotland for shooting bagpipes out of season, and BBC East for...everything, really.
    Yes, we're very sorry - BUT!  It's time for a spell of CROWDSOURCERY!
