In this episode, we step into the damp green hush of Britain’s countryside.
Rolling hills, hedgerows alive with bees, owls in the moonlight, and the smaller, stranger lives that slip between them.
I talk through these glimpses: the heavy grazers on the hillsides, the fox in the city shadows, the fragile jewel of a ladybird landing on your hand.
This is a meditation on the wildlife woven into everyday life; seen, unseen, and sometimes only half-remembered.
If you’ve ever paused to watch a butterfly hover, or heard a distant hoot and felt the dark turn deeper, this one’s for you.
