Green Is The Theme – Nostalgia Moments Moving Away From that Rose Tint Just For Today

Uplift Radio Posted on 10 August, 2014 by dontreader8 April, 2015

Hi, Don Treader here. Great music today on Nostalgia Moments (4pm). A couple of hours with a green theme tinge. Green is thought to be a soothing colour, so prepare to relax and enjoy today’s walk down Memory Lane. Enjoy the warmth of the sun, the cheering warm sounds of life in the hedgerows, the pleasure of the larks ascending in the fields and the friendly lowing of the cattle, the bleating of the sheep. You’ll never have felt so green, and so good. Go on make a date with us – we really are eco-friendly.
