This has become a weekly fixture. Well done to all the team - there was a gap in the market for a podcast like this and you’ve filled it really well. Please consider covering screen time!
Watched the sunset over my adjacent woodland while the birds were roosting from my spare room which has pale green & silver leaf pattens on it.With a cuppa too!
