Small Ways To Live Well from The Simple Things
The Simple Things
Small Ways to Live Well is a podcast from The Simple Things, a monthly magazine about slowing down, remembering what’s important and making the most of where you live.
Hosted by the Editor, Lisa Sykes, in Season 4: Fruitfulness, she’ll be compiling a could-do list for autumn, alongside colleagues and contributors.
As the nights lengthen, we can hunker down for winter or embrace autumn’s glory and use it to light our way through to the festivities to come. It’s a short season and our podcasts will help you make the most of it, both indoors and out.
We’ll get cosy and enjoy comfort foods but also step out to kick leaves and watch the season turn. Jolly traditions stop the slide into melancholy and there will be time to enjoy a story by the fire with tea and cake.
Expect crumbles and corduroy, magical pickles and big scarves. Released weekly from 27 October, this is your companion guide from when the clocks go back through to Stir-up Sunday.
