THE COLOUR OF INFINITY - STAPLE HILL, SOUTH GLOUCESTERSHIRE

written and read by Pauline Masurel

 

Not everyone perceives the world in the same way. For countless people everyday life is a colourless rush from one place to another. Join a woman with a very different viewpoint and follow her on a walk through Staple Hill. Head into the stillness of a dark tunnel where a full spectrum of colour unfolds.
