    Falling In Love

    Recorded under a gazebo in Poppy’s garden in October, prior to the first regional lockdown in Newport, Maisy and Poppy are accompanied by a strange echo (that couldn’t be lost in editing), ambulance sirens and crows crowing. In this episode, the girls ask each other a selection of questions using the 36 questions game (don’t worry they don’t ask them all!) and find share lots about themselves.
