Episodes of OTT are rather spaced out at the moment and I'm feeling rather the same!

In this episode of the podcast I'm heading out to see the chickens and talking a little about how I'm finding myself moving at an even slower pace than usual and leaning for support of my past work. I then play you a previous unheard episode of The Tiny Adventure Podcast that I shared over on Patreon last week.

Wishing you the best week possible.

If you'd like to explore the idea of Tiny Adventures a little more, visit The Go Gently Library where, towards the bottom of the page, you'll find a downloadable TA checklist and a short podcast explaining more about what I think Tiny Adventures are and how to embark on one yourself. Happy Tiny Adventuring!

In this episode of One Thing Today, I'm discussing having the patience to wait for the right time to do something and how this can be easier at sometimes than others...

Today, I'm enjoying finally feeling that the time is right to doing something (chocolate related!) that I first planned to do three months ago.

In this episode of OTT today I’m making some coffee in my new coffee pot and talking about how returning to this old habit feels like rediscovering a creative ritual and in so doing perhaps opening the door to some other abandoned habits…

Why not use this podcast as nudge to take one small step with your creative life today? Set a timer for twenty minutes and doing a little work on your current creative project.

Last week was an odd week, that culminated in a walk to Big Oak Field with a flask of hot coffee and my recording this podcast for you.

In it, I'm talking about a dear friend who died suddenly a week ago and how her death has brought up questions about how to enjoy our days within our limits (and led me to buy myself a stove-top espresso maker, which you'll hear bubbling away at the start of the podcast).

I hope your week has got off to a good start.

In this episode of the One Thing Today, I'm surprised by an early morning flurry of snow and talk a little about an age-old dilemma of mine—routines and planning versus trying to live in the flow and trusting that the next right step will present itself...

It's spring here in Wales. The rain is falling, the grass is looking very green and it time to start recording episodes of One Thing Today again after my winter break.

In this first episode of the year, I'm experimenting with how it feels to walk up to see The Big Oak in my daytime pyjamas whilst talking about offline days and waxing lyrical about the beautiful and patient watchfulness of my favourite tree...

It's lovely to be back.

If you haven't listened to them, this winter's Patreon-only Hibernation podcasts (plus some extra winter goodies) are still available for free over on my Patreon page. Find them here (scroll down a little to get to the start of the free posts).

If you're currently a patron (or would like to become one), then you can also watch this Podcast Extra video, which delves a little deeper into today's OTT episode.

In this second of the final four One Thing Today episodes of the year, I’m saying hello on a dark and wet mid-November morning...

Poor George had been moulting and she was looking how I was feeling – rather raggedy!

Hibernation had got off to a very slow start and I was doing my best to let myself go as slowly as I needed, only doing things when it felt the time was right and trying not to worry that that didn't seem to be the case very often.

I’m very sorry for being so quiet over the last few months. I’ve been having a difficult and exhausting time, but am pleased to be able to report that life is feeling on a more even keel again (just in time for my much needed Hibernation!).

Over the next week I’m going to be sharing four episodes of One Thing Today that I’ve already published over on Patreon. They lead up to the the switch to my Patreon-only annual series, The Hibernation Podcast.

This year, The Hibernation Podcast Is going to be publicly available over on my Patreon page, so even if you're not a patron you'll be able to listen should you wish to.

Here's the first of the final four episodes of One Thing Today of the year:

I recorded this episode of One Thing Today back in late October when I had pretty much withdrawn from the world to spend some time in mourning.

I was just beginning my second week of mourning and had had found myself feeling rather guiltily irritable and so decided to go for a walk to see if that would help shift my mood. 

After visiting The Big Oak, the walk turns into a rather pleasant mushroom-spotting clamber around the edges of The Caterpillar of Oaks…

Whilst I do say hello at the beginning of this episode, this is mostly a non-verbal podcast. 

I've been particularly enjoying listening to the sounds of my hillside recently—standing at my gate or walking out into the field up to the Caterpillar of Oaks has been very calming

I wanted to try and capture some of that peace and calmness for you and so decided I'd try my hand at making you a soundwalk. Ounce  joined me for the walk and George and Louise make a guest appearance towards the end.

Below are some timestamps to help you follow along. I'd recommend listening with headphones if you can.
