    Episode 32: Tending

    In Episode 32 I mull over some of the blockages involved in re-fitting garments, review how a wool suitable for lightweight garments is wearing and talk about an outsourced repair which brought me a disproportionate degree of delight.

    I also get excited about some wriggly helpers I welcomed into our household to help tend our soil and share how I made some antihistamine salve sticks from a common 'weed'.
