Field, Forest & Folklore is inspired by my own journey through the old ways, the green world, and the landscapes that continue to shape our lives. From ancient woodland and quiet hedgerows to folklore, gardening, seasonal traditions, and stories inspired by the British countryside, this podcast explores the enduring relationship between people, place, and nature — and the quiet sense of wonder and magic that can still be found within the natural world. Thoughtful, reflective, and deeply connected to the land, Field, Forest & Folklore is an invitation to slow down, look closer, and listen to the world around us.
Inspiration for this week's podcast came from one of the most beautiful things I have even seen.. starling murmurations. Once you’ve seen a starling murmuration you don’t forget it. Thousands of starlings arriving at dusk swirling shapes. A wildlife miracle, part seasonal signpost, and part reminder that nature still has the power to stop us mid-step. If you’ve been craving a slower rhythm, consider this your invitation to step outside, listen carefully, and look a little closer....

Introductory Episode: Nature Is Medicine
Welcome to my new podcast! We’re opening Field, Forest, and Folklore with a personal walk that becomes something bigger: a grounded introduction to nature healing, British folklore, and the kind of everyday spirituality that starts with paying attention instead of chasing answers. I take you with me to Kew Gardens in London and share what I noticed, what I felt, and what each encounter seemed to mean.

The Swifts of High Summer
Summer can feel like it arrives on wings, and nothing captures that better than swifts. They show up almost overnight, slice across the evening sky around old buildings and church towers, and then vanish just as quickly after the height of the season. That beauty comes with a hard truth: swifts are now on the red list, and their decline is a signal that the natural systems we depend on are under strain. We’re nothing without nature, and this conversation is our plea to treat that as a practic...
