Hello,
I’m bringing you this week’s mini-break from an actual break, where I’ve recording this looking out over the Atlantic Ocean, fog rolling in and seals bobbing about in the waves. Absolute bliss.
There is some witchy chat, and my tribute to actor Tim Curry as well as one of my favourite films of all time - a celebration of outsiders everywhere. And we hear from listener Melody, who brings minimal modifications, unobstructed views of the sunrise and some wonderfully specific stationery needs to her imagined getaway, much to my delight.
