Description
I am a nature writer and novelist, and I’m lucky enough to be able to walk out of my cottage straight into Suffolk’s beautiful open countryside. For six months – as spring 2020 broke over the British Isles, and summer turned to autumn – I documented the wonder and richness of the natural world and the changing seasons and brought the outdoors into as many locked-down homes as I could.

This is a low key zen masterpiece. It's England at its best in your ears, pure, casually intellectual, countryside lover meditation material. Ecology porn. An over night Yoga head's commodity. A modestly beautiful and understated work in which the rural vibe is effortlessly curated to an ASMR standard of enjoyment whilst being genuinely interesting at the same time. Is/was it hard for Melissa to be this horizontal and yet so focused? Did it take planning to be so nonchalantly brilliant? Or is the inside of her head actually a version of heaven, and I'll get a bit closer every episode, if I just listen harder? Radio 4 wish they were this good. I know I'm 3 years late to the party, but please make more. Make a huge series, 52 episodes. Oh and feel free to repost this review anywhere, the people need to know about this podcast, especially if they're struggling to sleep or need reminding there's beauty in the world.
I have loved listening to this series. Perfect sound and production.
So pleased to discover this treasure, what a beautiful podcast. ❤
