An evocation of a peaceful summer night. Here beside the water it's business as usual for night creatures while overhead, beautiful, eternal and oblivious, shine a thousand friendly stars.

This tranquil piano piece has a gentle sadness to it as well as so much beauty. It made me think of the time when I was in an orchard and a heavy shower of rain fell, drenching the new apple blossoms, filling the air with the wonderful smell of rain and delicate flowers.

I seem to have known this tune composed by Andre Louis forever. It says lots of things to me, sunshine, relaxation, being in a good place. Now I can show you some of the things I think of when I hear this and also that music with nature sounds doesn't have to be all about new age and ambient!

A demo of the nature sound Liquid Harmony. This, together with many other nature soundscapes, is available free in high quality MP3 format, from www.hartgen.org/nature.

Little Brooke, being the size of a nine-month-old, is old enough to eat solid babyfood. This I purchased for her, all the way from the US, from a lady who makes fake food for films and broadway shows as well as to sell in her Etsy shop. It looks so incredibly real that it fools the unwary! I have great fun feeding my little live wire as you shall hear.

I had been waiting eight and a half months. Finally the day arrived. A reborn, hand-made to my specifications, the size of a nine-month-old girl was waiting for her first cuddle. Listen to our first meeting.

Having a real live chimp around the house wouldn't be anyone's idea of a good time! But, as you can hear, Ozzie, my reborn chimp, can be a right little handful too, although a few grapes or a banana and he's anybody's!

Meet Cassie the baby leprechaun. She got a purple leapfrog Puppy Pal for Christmas and it even knows her name. The puppy wants to be friends, but Cassie's not sure!

Baby Ben is settling in and getting to grips, or not, with his new toys.

Here you will find, as well as my new, some of my older Doll Chats which I saved in as good quality audio as I could. Here it is Christmas 2013 and I am about to meet a very special present, reborn baby ben.
