It was our last Nature Songs session this Saturday! Here's a video of the song we wrote together celebrating the wonders of Bury Meadow Park... Sadly we were missing a few participants due to Covid, but we sang everyone's verses for them!

What a beautiful morning for our last Nature Songs session today! I can't wait to get out in the park! 🌳 🌞 🌳

Having set up The Songwriting Project during lockdown, it has been so good today to share what we do and finally meet in person so many lovely people from Exeter's voluntary and community sector! Thanks to @exeter_connect for organising a brilliant event! https://t.co/e7AA2anIOX

We had another beautiful Nature Songs session today, and just LOOK at this tree! No filters or anything like that... just naturally gorgeous! https://t.co/jAYNCsEEUD

Looking forward to hearing a programme made especially for #iwd2022 by @DreadnoughtSW tomorrow! @JenniferEGrove interviewed Amy, Bee and Cath about the Duryard Song Project and our thoughts about women singing, community and nature. Tune into @phonicfm from 8 to 10am to hear us!

If it hasn't hatched in 3 days, you are allowed to dig it up and have an enormous omelette! (3/3)

...when children stand on them, and take them to secret parts of the park? Most likely, we decided, is that they are the foot prints of a magical golden swan, who lays one huge egg once a year, and leaves a pampas grass feather pointing in the direction of the egg... (2/3)

Why are these three stepping stones all on their own in the middle of the grass? It was a magical theme for today's Nature Songs and we came up with some brilliant theories... How about a pathway to an ancient druid temple? Or maybe they are magical stones that only move (1/3) https://t.co/GMH5PzM7Xd

After the storms of the week before, we were treated to a beautiful day for Nature Songs on Saturday. Here's one of the many brilliant "shape" poems people created, using nature as their inspiration. https://t.co/2n4wwDvExy

Ooh, look at these little beauties! Coming soon to a project near you! 😉 https://t.co/udaYvmCMAb

Happy Valentine's Day from the Nature Songs project! Here are some lonely hearts ads we wrote for the trees this weekend... 😘 https://t.co/hGYw19qhDh

We had a fantastic second session of the Nature Songs project today, learning a new song about woodpeckers and creating colour palettes... Just look at the beautiful things we were able to uncover in the park - even in the middle of Winter! https://t.co/eGTqOcVm2N

It was lovely to finally meet participants from the Duryard Songwriting Project in person yesterday and sing our song together for the first time. Here we are doing our zombie-based vocal warm-up...! https://t.co/wJMQRJJmHS

All welcome to join us singing in the park and dodging the showers tomorrow!😀 https://t.co/6erdGYKtOi

The Duryard Songwriting Project was commissioned by Exeter Northcott Theatre as part of their Creative Communities programme. Residents from Duryard came together online to write and record a song about Spring, and forge new community networks... https://t.co/TdcQxbewPc

The first songwriting project took place online during the initial Covid-19 lockdown of 2020. We wrote a song that, looking back now, feels almost like an oral history of a particular period in time. Shock, fear and a powerful sense of hope! https://t.co/G65vghFyvD
