Welcome back to Night Falls, the bed show of classic and original stories designed to guide you into a calm and peaceful sleep.

Hi everyone, Jeffrey here.

If you're enjoying the show, please take a moment to hit follow and leave a review. It really helps the show. And if you

have any feedback, please reach out via the link in the show notes. I love hearing from you.

And tonight's story, we'll take a gentle gondola ride through the canals of Venice. As we glide

smoothly through the water, we'll take in the picturesque

scenery and soothing sounds of the city, and we'll hear about its fascinating history. As you listen

to the story, you'll become more and more relaxed, and soon you'll drift easily into a deep deep sleep. Before we begin,

here's a quick word from our valued sponsors who keep this free content possible.

Barclay's ready-made investments. The clue's in the name. Not Barclays, where do I begin investments?

You can start from 50 pounds. That's why they're not difficult to get started investments either. And you can choose your risk level.

So they're hardly in at the deep end investments. So if you've got savings and you want to help grow your money over five years or more,

then search Barclays' ready-made investments. Make money work for you.

Investing is not for everyone. The value of investments can fall as well as rise,

and you may get back less than you invest. T's and Cs apply.

Sitting quietly, once you've made the house all shiny.

Down time can be just fine, plain bangers from the 90s.

Tea break.

Lunch break. Maybe listen to the outbreak.

Sometimes it's not time for some tombole, right?

It's enjoying lasagna time, chilling with a book time, or time to visit your nan time.

Go on, play some other time. Put your phone down. Tombollah, open for fun.
