This week, Kathy explains why she thinks growing food is good for restoring mental health. Which means telling you the grisly tale of how she came to need restoring in the first place.
Note: there’s some stuff about depression in this episode so if that’s a trigger for you, maybe come back to it later. And if you need to talk, The Samaritans are on 116 123 24hrs a day.
