Episode notes

I met moth when I was a teenager, moth my husband. We bought a ramshakal place in Wales and spent the next 20 years of our lives restoring it. And we kept sheep and hens and grew vegetables and two children. So very lucky. That sounds like heaven. You've chosen the right place to live. Yeah, it's been peaceful for a long time, but now it's not peaceful. It's hard seeing lockdown just disappear. But I'm glad it was lovely where you are.

Welcome to the Wintering Sessions with Katherine May.

Author Raynor Winn talks to Katherine May about the losing her home when her husband was diagnosed with a terminal illness, and finding new life from having nothing.

Raynor Winn has captured a multitude of hearts with her book, The Salt Path, which recounts the time she lost her home just as her husband received a terminal diagnosis. With nothing to lose, they set off to walk the South West Coast Path carrying nothing but a tent.

Here Raynor reflects on that transformative time that redefined the meaning of home - and gives a welcome update on Moth’s health. We also hear about her book, The Wild Silence.

I adored talking to Raynor about our shared love of the South West Coast Path, as I always do :)
