Did you know that you can listen to many of your favourite podcasts first on BBC Sounds?

Like Desert Island Discs, where you can hear castaways like Cher, Gareth Southgate and Nick Cave,

and enjoy longer versions of the music they've picked.

Good things come to those who don't wait.

Listen to your favourite podcasts first on BBC Sounds.

The Scotland Outdoors podcast from BBC Radio Scotland.

Hello and thanks very much for downloading the Scotland Outdoors podcast.

I'm Mark Stephen. We build this podcast out of a live program we do for BBC Radio Scotland called Out of Doors. This week was accompanied by my colleague Helen Needham. And there was a distinctive watery theme through this.

Hello and a very good morning to you. It's another cracking morning.

Clear blue skies.

It was frost in the windshield this morning,

but the spire and the church and mid-stocked road

is like fireball XL-5 pointing to the sky.

It's magnificent.

Pale grey granite in golden sunshine.

I'm Mark Stevens, standing with him in the car park this morning, with a homage to the 80s.

She's got woolly leggings on at the bottom, I don't know why.

Miss Helen Needham.

Leg warmers, I think you'll find.

Yes, same different.

Very handy for this time of year when you're not quite sure how many layers to wear.

You mean you might take them off at some stage? Maybe if I get a bit warm next to this sparky fire that you've got great.
