In this gusty episode of the Countryside Podcasts, Chris Skinner and Matthew Gudgin embrace August’s wild turn at High Ash Farm, where autumn whispers through the breeze. Rowan trees (mountain ash) dazzle with orange-red berries, a thrush feast and historical charm against witches, while blackthorn hedges yield a bumper sloe crop, ripe for Chris’s granny’s sloe gin recipe. A thriving wasp nest nestled in railway sleepers showcases nature’s paper artistry, balancing pollination and predation. Listener tales of deer ticks, drought-hit wildflowers, and wild angelica weave into this harvest tale, as the farm prepares for a live show on October 19th at Norwich’s Maddermarket Theatre under a clearing blue sky.
