00:15On the move, passing through towns and cities, we dance with the locals.

00:20Come as you are, they say. Do as you wish. Sing as your dreams.

00:24Or if we decide to stay put, Freedom Road is our home address.

00:31A neighbour's washing flaps in the breeze like hilarious friendly flags.

00:36In the house and over the garden fence, we agree to differ.

00:41Someone's grazing a horse on the common where Freedom Lane becomes Freedom Green.

00:48You can't dig up Freedom like a potato from the verges of Freedom Way
