In the last of this mini series of catch up interviews, Charlotte speaks to author of The Salt Path, Raynor Winn. They discuss how we adjust from macro living to the micro, and why people who sneak through the back of tents of talks at festivals are probably the best kind of people.

In the 3rd of these 4 specials, Charlotte catches up with RHS Chelsea gold winning designer Charlotte Harris.  The first time they spoke was 4 years ago in Charlotte Harris' stationary cupboard.  Seems this last year we all feel a bit like we've been living in a cupboard. They talk Chelsea 2021, escaping to Scotland and what they'd like to do when freedom returns... Support the show: www.ko-fi.com/growingwild Email: [email protected] Insta: @growingwildfm

In what feels like week 600497 of lockdown, Charlotte listens to more of your voices from across the world, hears how you're coping and how you're using the outdoors to aid your sanity.  Ranging from the Netherlands to Sheffield, it's a lovely listen.   Recorded on 27th April 2020. 

I'm making another show of YOUR voices!  Send me your voice notes to [email protected].  Let's hear how each other are and what you're still able to do or what you're missing about the outdoors.  Don't be shy now. 

In this episode we hear the voices of many listeners about what they're doing in nature during these times of great change and uncertainty, and the comfort that can bring. From folk in the UK to Sydney,  we're all reacting a little differently.  Please send in yours!  To [email protected].  Say your name, where you are and the date.  Lets stay connected. 

Hello!  I've made this little podcast extra because I need your help!  I'm putting together a series of voice clips from YOU.  What are you doing to connect with nature in these more isolated times?  Take me with you.  Use the voice memo function on your phone and email me the file to [email protected].  Start with your name and where you are in the world.  Let me hear what you can hear, are you walking the dog?  On the allotment? Listening to the birds? Tell me about it!  1 - 2 minute clips. It'll all get put together for the next show. I look forward to hearing you... stay well xx
