THE CLEARING WITH KATHERINE MAY
The Mini-Break, episode 3: Moomins, wardrobes and shape-shifting buildings
Hello,
In this week’s Mini-Break we honour guest Jeffrey Boakye’s flaneurship around London by finding out which cities you, our listeners, love to wander the most. From Bruges to San Francisco, Rome to Chicago, Kathmandu to Helsinki, it turns out that while many of us adore the countryside, from time to time it’s a city that lifts the spirits.

Speaking of Helsinki, Katherine also recommends one small thing you can do this week to get away from it all. Let’s just say it involves a much-loved Finnish author and her beautiful, allegorical novels. And our listener Kate in New Zealand sends in her dream retreat that changes size according to need. Ingenious.
