The temperature is dropping and it looks like a frosty night is ahead of us. So, why not join us in the Erica’s cosy cabin as we contemplate the coming of spring, the therapeutic and philosophical aspects of planting seeds, and joy of sunshine on your shoulders.

Journal entry:

19th March, Thursday

“On Horse Hill
 The light scrubbed clean
 By the sharpness of frost
 Two rooks harry a buzzard pair
 Who fly on wings
 Of feathered nonchalance.”

Episode Information:

In this episode I read the poems ‘Crows in Spring’ by John Clare and ‘Everything is Going to be Alright’ by David Mahon. With special thanks to Jasmine Wilder from the Tiny Joy Project for the inspirational post 'Somewhere, right now.'
