In the absence of a busy Matthew Gudgin Chris Skinner has a special co-host for the podcast this week.
Chris and his daughter, Kate Blincoe give an insight into what life was like growing up on High Ash Farm. They describe how connections to the land can come at cost to family life.
The pair then treat us to an evening on the farm for a nocturnal safari. Chris explains the nighttime activity of the mammals who are busy darting around the field in response to their presence.
We learn that Chris isn't the only member of the family who has a way with words as Kate shares with us a passage newly published in The Guardian's Country Diary.
There are comments in from Singapore and questions about sunflowers as well as some remarkable photos from listeners who have written in.
