Episode notes

I think there's huge gratitude. My husband, before I met him, had been made sort of effectively homeless when he was in his late teens and he was thrown out of home. He appreciated so many things that everybody else takes for granted. Like when we owned our first washing machine, he'd go in and say goodnight to it every night. And I think it's really good to feel like that about the world around you,. It's there's great gratitude there. Yeah, I think that will never leave me. But yeah, if I don't talk about homelessness in that situation, then I feel as if I'm letting people down.

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 :)
