Summary
Welcome friends! I know it's been a very long time since I last posted an episode but I am very happy to be back now! Tonight's bedtime story is called Marianna by Henry Beston and I hope that you enjoy it! There will be soft restful sleep music playing in the background to help you fall deeper into a sound sleep. The soft music will continue to play for a little while as the story comes to an end and then it too will gently fade away.
And so, lights out, lie back and let's get sleepy together!
Sweet dreamzzz...
Joanne ❤
