#1641: Moving extra slowly and sharing a Tiny Adventure from the past

April 24, 2023 • 19 mins

Episodes of OTT are rather spaced out at the moment and I'm feeling rather the same! In this episode of the podcast I'm heading out to see the chickens and talking a little about how I'm finding myself moving at an even slower pace than usual and leaning for support of my past work. I then play you a previous unheard episode of The Tiny Adventure Podcast that I shared over on Patreon last week. Wishing you the best week possible...

#1640: Trusting that the right time will come

April 8, 2023 • 21 mins

In this episode of One Thing Today, I'm discussing having the patience to wait for the right time to do something and how this can be easier at sometimes than others... Today, I'm enjoying finally feeling that the time is right to doing something (chocolate related!) that I first planned to do three months ago. Throughout March and April I'm experimenting with what I post on Patreon. Join at any level to follow my experiment and ...

#1639: Reawakening a morning ritual

March 28, 2023 • 12 mins

In this episode of OTT today I’m making some coffee in my new coffee pot and talking about how returning to this old habit feels like rediscovering a creative ritual and in so doing perhaps opening the door to some other abandoned habits… Why not use this podcast as nudge to take one small step with your creative life today? Set a timer for twenty minutes and doing a little work on your current creative project. Patrons can watch...

#1638: Being in the moment

March 21, 2023 • 17 mins

Last week was an odd week, that culminated in a walk to Big Oak Field with a flask of hot coffee and my recording this podcast for you. In it, I'm talking about a dear friend who died suddenly a week ago and how her death has brought up questions about how to enjoy our days within our limits (and led me to buy myself a stove-top espresso maker, which you'll hear bubbling away at the start of the podcast). Patrons can watch the P...

#1637: Unexpected snow and talking about an old dilemma

March 14, 2023 • 17 mins

I hope your week has got off to a good start. In this episode of the One Thing Today, I'm surprised by an early morning flurry of snow and talk a little about an age-old dilemma of mine—routines and planning versus trying to live in the flow and trusting that the next right step will present itself... If you're a patron (or would like to become one) you can watch the Podcast Extra that I mention in this episode, here: http://goge...

#1636: The first OTT episode of 2023

March 7, 2023 • 18 mins

It's spring here in Wales. The rain is falling, the grass is looking very green and it time to start recording episodes of One Thing Today again after my winter break. In this first episode of the year, I'm experimenting with how it feels to walk up to see The Big Oak in my daytime pyjamas whilst talking about offline days and waxing lyrical about the beautiful and patient watchfulness of my favourite tree... It's lovely to be ba...

#1635: The final OTT episode of the year

December 9, 2022 • 21 mins

I'm out in the rain and the sun to record the final episode of One Thing Today of the year...

#1633: Raggedy

December 4, 2022 • 14 mins

In this second of the final four One Thing Today episodes of the year, I’m saying hello on a dark and wet mid-November morning... Poor George had been moulting and she was looking how I was feeling – rather raggedy! Hibernation had got off to a very slow start and I was doing my best to let myself go as slowly as I needed, only doing things when it felt the time is right and trying not to worry that that didn't seem to be the cas...

#1632: Mid-mourning

December 2, 2022 • 25 mins

I recorded this episode of One Thing Today back in late October when I had pretty much withdrawn from the world to spend some time in mourning. I was just beginning my second week of mourning and had had found myself feeling rather guiltily irritable and so decided to go for a walk to see if that would help shift my mood. After visiting The Big Oak, the walk turns into a rather pleasant mushroom-spotting clamber around the edges...

#1631: A Soundwalk with Ounce

August 25, 2022 • 15 mins

Whilst I do say hello at the beginning of this episode, this is mostly a non-verbal podcast. I've been particularly enjoying listening to the sounds of my hillside recently—standing at my gate or walking out into the field up to the Caterpillar of Oaks has been very calming I wanted to try and capture some of that peace and calmness for you and so decided I'd try my hand at making you a soundwalk. Ounce joined me for the walk a...

#1628: Cool air, some ripe blackberries and deciding to knit in the garden

July 24, 2022 • 11 mins

In this episode I'm greeted by some VERY welcome cool air as I head out to see the chickens... After I finished talking to you, I sat in the lovely fresh air and knitted for a while. I'll be posting a video over on Patreon in a couple of days so you can work alongside me if you'd like to.

#1624: Semi-charged batteries and a gentle walk up the hill

July 17, 2022 • 11 mins

I'm emerging after a week's holiday and am noticing that my batteries aren't quite as recharged as I had hoped they would be. However, the morning is pleasantly cool and I'm feeling up to a gentle walk up to The Caterpillar of Oaks. Would you like to join me?
