Oxford lockdown sound recorded by Cities and Memory.
"Well into the third month of lockdown here in the UK, and today's thunderstorms confining us all to quarters is a reminder that so far during lockdown we have - as a very small comfort - had excellent weather that's meant we can go outside, rediscover nature and stay sane. But with discussion about a possible second wave of Covid-19, and potentially over winter when venturing outdoors is much less feasible, it's also a warning of how future lockdowns may be even grimmer than this one."
