Join us for our Easter Special episode of Small Ways to Live Well, the podcast from The Simple Things magazine
Released on Good Friday, Team TST are recording live from a Blackdown Shepherd Hut in Somerset where they’ll enjoy cake and decorate an Ostereierbaum (Easter tree) before trying a sauna and cold plunge and warming up with rival hot chocolate recipes. Plus the signs that spring proper is here, stories of cute spring animals and making the most of April showers. Oh and we’re learning how ducks quack in other languages.
Co-hosted by The Simple Things Editor, Lisa Sykes; wellbeing editor Rebecca Frank and author of The Slow Traveller, Jo Tinsley
Our Easter Special and Season 5: Return of the light is supported by Blackdown Shepherd Huts.
