Sea, Shells and Smells

The D Tour podcast is proudly sponsored by Macs Adventure Macs Adventure specialise in self guided walking and cycling holidays for independent, active people who don't want to be part of the crowd or restricted by set dates and schedules. Harriet has taken the first steps on her 900 mile D Tour. And most of them seem to be up hills along the South West Coastal Path in Cornwall! In this first week on the road raising money and awareness for Dementia Adventure, Harriet is reflecting on how music and being outside intersect and create perfect conditions for creativity. You can listen to Harriet's playlist on Spotify. Each week she's adding songs to match her mood on her epic walk! She's also surrounded by smells - the sea, the rain, the wild flowers all have a distinct scent that draw her back to places in time and evoke memories and feelings. We discuss how the sense of smell affects people living with dementia.
