  • Excellent podcast

    Such a gentle and informative podcast. Chris and Mathew make it feel as if you are actually there, experiencing the activity of the wildlife and trudging through the farm. I’ve caught up on all the episodes and now I listed every week and have learned so much about the seasons as I actually experience them along with Chris, Mathew and Rat.

    Thank you.

  • Fantastic!

    I started listening back in May, on the recommendation of my Mother. What a wonderful show it is. It gives me so much joy, and helps me learn about my local environment too. I moved back to the countryside in 2023, and this pod helps me understand the flowers, trees and even insects that I see.

  • Love Chris - a great listen

    Chris, Matthew and Rat are great to listen to.

    I love the nature facts, Chris’s obvious joy in sharing all about his farm and the creatures he shares it with. Matthew also adds to the mix with his camaraderie with Chris and their shared humour.

    A gentle, bit of joy every Sunday. We always look forward to it..
