About Small Ways To Live Well from The Simple Things
Small Ways to Live Well is a podcast from The Simple Things (http://thesimplethings.com/), a monthly magazine about slowing down, remembering what’s important and making the most of where you live. Hosted by the Editor, Lisa Sykes (https://www.instagram.com/lisasthinks/), in this season, May days & summer afternoons, she’ll be sampling honesty boxes, seeking our magical creatures, taking sensory walks and generally revelling in the promise of summer, alongside co-hosts wellbeing editor Rebecca Frank (https://www.instagram.com/becsfrank/?hl=en-gb) and regular contributor and slow traveller Jo Tinsley (https://www.instagram.com/slowjotinsley/).

The novelty of sustained sunshine and warmer days gladden the hearts. The countryside is at its best and cities start to go all Mediterranean, living life outside. Even the most humdrum garden looks pretty in May. And we’re as busy as the birds feeding chicks and bees gathering nectar – planting flowers, tending our veg patch and exploring our neighbourhood. It’s the end of the hungry gap with the first harvests so we enjoy eating outdoors and go on our first picnic of the year. We’re learning more about folklore and festivals, listening to birdsong and making the most of long weekends. Join us to dabble in something new and take a spontaneous day trip. Our motto for the season: ‘Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time’. There are six episodes in Season 9, released weekly from May Day and supported by Titanic Belfast (https://www.titanicbelfast.com/)

[…] We did last year. And we'll put the link to the issue. And he just published his book, Is a River Alive? And he said something that really stuck with me that connects to this neighborhood idea about he asked about, do you know your watershed test? And I think that's brilliant. It's basically the idea that everyone should know their local river. and trace all the bodies of water until where it joins the sea. And that connectedness is, and because I'm a bit of a map nerd, I kind of do that anyway. You have done that, haven't you? Yeah, I have done that. And, you know, you should know that the nearest stream or beck or brook near you, where it kind of joins on and connects to the sea. […]
