Small Ways To Live Well from 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. 


Our podcast will help you savour these short weeks and prepare your mind, body and pantry for the colder and darker season to come. It’s also a chance to reflect on the year so far and make plans for the one ahead. This is your companion guide from the last days of summer to the first days of autumn. Six episodes released weekly from 31 August.

Back-to-school time has a feeling of new year about it. A chance for a fresh start and a time to take on new projects or travel to new places. But summer is not quite done, there’s still time for mellow weekends, laid-back camping, and to swim in the warmer seas before the season ends. This push and pull goes on through the autumn equinox into October before we finally embrace the shift into autumn and change our attitudes along with our clothes. But not without a bit of feasting along the way. Orchard fruits and nuts, blackberries in the hedgerows and mushrooms in the woods, not to mention ripe tomatoes and the full bounty of the veg patch make this a harvest festival in the kitchen. We’re living life outdoors while the sun shines but also embracing the pleasures of home and finding the new in what we have and what’s on our doorstep.

 
Co-hosted by the Editor, Lisa Sykes, wellbeing editor Rebecca Frank and regular contributor Jo Tinsley. In Season7: Golden Days, they’ll be embracing end-of-summer vibes then watching the season turn
