Lupins are popping up all over my allotment and flowering in their first year! When I first started growing lupins I was too frustrated to wait a year for blooms.. but I tried (although the lupin seedlings in the story I read were eaten by bunnies) and now my favourite flowers are reminding me of my passion to stay grounded.

To make sense of trying to fly less, I wrote a few pieces last year about my relationship to flying, and in this episode I read one of those published short stories 'Staying Grounded' as well as my reflections on the challenge I posed myself: When someone mentions having time off, instead of asking, “what exciting places are you going to on your holiday, I’ll ask: ‘What are you cultivating at your feet?’”
