One Thing Today

In this episode, Ounce and I are off to stay good morning to the chickens, Gloria and Louise, before heading to stand by my gate for a few minutes.

This week I’m slowly getting back to picking one thing for the day and today I’m talking about how I’m trying to be gentle with this after my three months of hibernation…

After eighty-eight days of hibernation, I'm very happy to be back recording episodes of One Thing Today again.

All this week I've been thinking that it would be a lovely thing if I could be awake to record the first new episode of OTT as the Spring Equinox arrived. When I went to bed last night I didn't really think that I would manage to do that.

However, my eyes snapped open at just after 3.00 am and by 3.40 am (after drinking an enlivening cup of tea!) I was heading out of my front door into the night to record you this episode...

It’s lovely to be back <3

It's 4.15 am and I'm in my kitchen pouring out a cup tea in readiness to head out to my gate to wait for the solstice. Would you like to join me?

This episode of One Thing Today will be the last until the spring and marks a transition into what I hope will be a deepening hibernation. 

If you would like to keep me company through the winter, you can do so by joining me on Patreon, where I’ll be recording a three-month podcast series, The Hibernation Podcast.

Today, as we approach the solstice, I'm taking a walk up the hill to sit amongst the oak trees and ponder how my hibernation is going and how I'm hoping it will deepen in the coming weeks.

Would you like to join me?

This episode spans two days and begins yesterday with me standing under a magical fiery sky and ends in this morning's twilight making blackberry and apple jelly...

It's a frosty morning here in Wales and Ounce and I are heading off for an impromptu walk.

Would you like to join us as we say good morning to the sheep, visit the Horizontal Oaks and give the donkeys a special treat?

Join me in my kitchen as it begins to get light..

My first podcast since my trip to the dentist earlier this week and I'm a little groggy, but happy to be by my gate with a lively Ounce at the start of another hibernatory day...

On a cloudier and less chilly morning than the last time I spoke to you, I'm by my gate again and pondering on some things I'd like to do (or rather not do) that I hope will deepen my hibernation.

If you're hibernating alongside me, I hope you're having a quiet, gentle and maybe contemplative day. If you're being more active, perhaps this podcast can do its more traditional job of nudging you to pick one small thing to do today to more your creative life on a little. In either case, have a lovely day <3

It's another frosty morning here in Wales and I've remembered to put on my gloves (but not a second pair of socks!).

Join me by my gate as I listen to the passing sheep crunch their way through the crisp grass...
