Gardening, Sports, and Beer: Dad Adventures

Ever wondered what happens when two dads combine their love of gardening, sports, and beer with the daily adventures of parenthood? Our latest episode takes you on a journey from a hilariously disastrous beer opening to ambitious Japanese garden designs and the quiet triumph of growing your first cucumber.

Williams shares his adventures at Plymouth Hoe and Britain's largest aquarium, where his two-year-old son's wide-eyed "hiya" greetings to fish remind us all how children transform ordinary experiences into magical discoveries. Meanwhile, our other host reveals plans for an elaborate Japanese garden complete with Acer trees and koi ponds—a project reflecting the patience and long-term thinking that parenthood often inspires.

The episode delivers surprisingly practical wisdom for fellow dads: gardening isn't just about plants, it's about finding rare moments of uninterrupted solitude. "If I'm outside gardening, I can get three to four hours without seeing any of them," one host confesses, while explaining how children need nothing more elaborate than pebbles or bits of food to fuel their boundless imagination.

Perhaps most touching is the moment when a lifelong dream comes true—Newcastle United finally winning a trophy after 30 years of waiting—only to be immediately overshadowed by a toddler's encounter with a table corner. This perfect encapsulation of parenthood's priority-shifting power reminds us that the greatest victories are sometimes the smallest ones.

Join us for laughter, insights, and the kind of authentic dad conversations that make you feel less alone in your parenting journey. Whether you're designing gardens, visiting aquariums, or just trying to open a stubborn beer can, we're right there with you.
