Where can we escape to at times when we are cooped up, locked down, trapped indoors? Some people recall a real location - a favoured corner to which they return again and again, such as the Swedes call a "wild strawberry place"; others find a refuge deep in the imagination. In these exceptional times, Radio 3 has specially commissioned major writers to share their special place, and each night of the week, one of them offers to take us there and share it with us. Evie Wyld has spent most of adult life in Peckham, South London, but she grew up on her grandparents' sugar cane farm in New South Wales, Australia. She recalls it here. Producer: Beaty Rubens
