our daily walks

by shirley thrift & LIZZIE WIGGS

It’s a lovely feeling when you see a deer.
It’s amazing. I feel like a little girl again.

ABOUT SHIRLEY

Shirley lives in the village of Chieveley, just outside of Newbury. Her passion is horses and animals and she loves her daily walks in the woods spotting deer with her dog, Lily.

I didn't really know what to expect at all when I signed up for this and I couldn't imagine how we'd make something, but I thought it was really clever and I loved recording the poem together.

I will always think of this poem when I'm out walking in the woods.
