Goodbye Back to Earth! You’ve been my podcast for 3 glorious years, but now it’s time to pack up my recorder and move even deeper into the world of welly boots and flat caps (I’m still not wearing flat caps). Join me as I drink mulled wine and overdress the Christmas tree! I’ll be talking to mum about capturing cherished memories, the special time we’ve had together, following in her footsteps and, of course, death. So festive!

I’m too hot and pregnant to be toiling in the fields! Join me as I retreat to the cool, dark shadows of the attic! I’ll be spending the day with mum, searching for ancient baby toys, uncovering paperwork, articles and foodstamps, learning about grandfather, war and wool and getting a glimpse at dad’s school life.

The wheels of change turn slowly! Join me as I interview local Parish Councillor Adrian Bryant about the green revolution!

It’s the month of (Charlie) May! Join me as I take a break from the farm to talk to a farmer about farming! I’ll be chatting to Jim Taylor about suckler cows and regenerative agriculture, carefully “bud rubbing” my precious vineyard and doing as much manual work as I can get away with in my third trimester.

The wool press is here! Join me as I ponder our first year in the wool trade! I’ll be braving the cold, the wind and the early winter mornings, overseeing the baling of 20 tonnes of wool, visiting local farmers Jim and Amy to chat about their Swiss Valley sheep (the cutest sheep in the world!) and discovering an ingenious new technique for protecting the vineyard.
