You will follow a young woman as she learns that repair takes patience, beginning with the creak of a shop door on Threadneedle Lane and the quiet revelation of what a clockmaker truly mends. Agnes Loch reads with steady warmth, her voice matching the measured rhythm of the story: unhurried mornings, the ritual of tea before touching a single gear, the same walk observed until it yields its details. You will notice dust settling into cracks, the particular weight of evening primrose oil, the way listening changes when you stop trying to fix what you hear. The sound is intimate and uncluttered, like sitting in a room where someone works with their hands and speaks only when ready. Settle in and let the ticking find your own pace.
