It is a summer morning in 1530, and the market has come to Shrewsbury, England 🏰 

Tonight you'll wander through the cloth merchants and the food stalls, past the spice trader whose wares have travelled through a dozen countries to reach this square, past the glove-maker's beautiful rows and the travelling players on the market cross steps — before finding your bench in the shade of an old elm tree, where the morning will hold you, gently and without condition, until you sleep.

Tonight, I'm taking you to the lavender fields of Provence 🪻🌿

A young woman named Elise wakes early at her grandmother's farmhouse in the south of France and steps outside into the most peaceful morning imaginable. Long rows of lavender stretching into the mist, the hum of bees arriving with the warmth, an orange cat appearing to sit beside her on a weathered old bench.

Nothing is asked of her here, and nothing is asked of you either.

(00:02:32) Sleep Story - A Long Drive Through Norway in a Campervan

In tonight's bedtime story, we take the longest, most unhurried drive through the mountains and fjords of Norway. 🚐🌙

You and your little blue campervan have nowhere to be and no particular road to follow. You roll the window down for the cold mountain air, stop at a petrol station where an old woman makes you feel like you've always belonged here, and watch children make mud pies on a small patch of grass.

It's the kind of drive that makes everything else feel very, very far away.

Yara and her Great Grandmother have no destination and no hurry. They slip off their shoes, let the velvety grass meet their bare feet, and follow a distant flicker of flame until the land begins to tell its story.
