This week’s (unedited) episode was recorded just yesterday, during my last few hours in Paignton where I spent just a few days making the most of the late summer sunshine.

I know that we had a seaside episode just last week but frankly I have felt recently that I have really needed it!

This episode is really about just being - and how difficult our conditioning can make it for us to just stop. I hope you enjoy it, and would love to hear from you - as always - on this or the subject of any other 'nature spot' which has meaning for you.

Here are the links I mentioned at the end of the recording:
