Spring Vibes in Bosnia
I’m recording this from my garden on a warm Saturday afternoon, it’s Easter Sunday tomorrow. It’s 24 degrees, blue skies, and the perfect backdrop for this edition of the Podcast.
If you’re new here, I also host another, companion podcast, An Englishman in the Balkans ⬇️.

A Soundtrack to My Life
Lately, I’ve become a bit obsessed with field recording. I love capturing nature’s soundtrack. Birdsong at dawn, even the odd nightingale in the evenings. I recommend listening to my podcasts and soundscapes with headphones, to catch all those little details.
Easter Preparations and Family Traditions
Easter is a big deal here in the Republic of Srpska. While I’m not religious, I love the sense of togetherness it brings. Tamara’s busy in the kitchen prepping for tomorrow’s feast. And as a “nod” to my britishness, she’s making Hot Cross Buns.Better than any I’ve had in the UK. Honestly!
Tamara discusses her thoughts on Hot Cross Buns and other British “Tastes” ⬇️
Tamara’s Hot Cross Buns NEVER disappoint.
And our neighbours? Together with Tamara’s father, they’re roasting a pig on a spit powered by a car battery. Classic Bosnia.

A Bit of a Break
I’ve been quiet for about the last 10 days. I really needed a breather and spent quite a lot of time experimenting with soundscapes.Here I am documenting the ambient sounds of the roast at my neighbours ⬇️
You’ll be hearing more of those soon. No talking, just the world around me doing its thing.
It’s ALL about Cheese (Sir)
