Episode notes

The couple decided to scale from place instead of taking the stairs. The journey has changed their lives in ways you never could have expected. You've bought extra time together somehow by going on your mission that still sounds absolutely crazy to me. I admire it so much, but I know I've never done it. And he's still fitting well now. He has spells when he's really not been as well as he was when we finished the path. But when he gets on a real low, we're here, pat on the box sacks and go for a walk. What a wonderful thing to have that you can go and go out and make yourself feel better.

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 :)
