Lessons from the Woods - Uprooting

We recently recorded this episode from our new home in Cumbria, 6 months after leaving the woods. We wanted to reflect on what it was actually like to leave (spoiler alert, it was a LOT harder than we had anticipated it would be). In this episode, we recall some of the ‘last’ moments in the woods and the heartbreak and grief that we weren’t really prepared for. We also discuss where we are now, how things are and what we think the lasting legacy of our decade in the woods will be.

Thanks for listening, we hope you’ve enjoyed this series of conversations! We have a few more topics we’re planning to cover as follow up episodes including parenthood, nature connection and knowledge. If there’s anything else you’d like to hear us chat about, please do ask, we’d love to hear from you.

All the best for now,

Andrew and Emma
