Episode notes

I looked up, I saw Moth that first time and I just knew I'd be with him forever. Although I'll do it all moments in my life, maybe, maybe spontaneous. But I thought I was 50 for goodness sake. You can just become something else without even planning to do so. It's amazing. So let's talk about the path. Um, because we both know it intimately. You more than me because you slept along the way. What were your first impressions? What were those first few days like of walking? The Southwest Coast path very quickly tells you that you can't walk anywhere,. but actually it takes you hours to get a mile sometimes and it hurts so

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 :)
