Episode notes

We were expecting him to say, well, it's ligament damage and we'll just sew your back together. But then it wasn't. So reading from that, you packed up the whole house. And then what? Yes, we got the whole house was packed. It was the very, very last moment. The bailiffs were knocking at the door waiting to change the rock. We were hiding under the stairs. I spotted a book in a packing case that hadn't gone out of the door. And it was Mark Wellington's 500 mile walkies.

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 :)
