Join Melissa in her cosy cottage as wind and rain lash down outside. The autumn migration is underway, and billions of birds are on the move; indoors, it’s time to light the fire. Writer and geographer Annie O’Garra Worsley joins us from the Highlands of Scotland; she’s working on a book about all the “geo bobbins” of her beloved home, due out next year. ‘A Landscape’ is by Rebecca Tamás, whose poetry collection Witch and essay collection, Strangers, are both out now. Please support indie retailers and order from them online. All the music from the podcast is now available to buy.

About
I am a nature writer and novelist, and I’m lucky enough to be able to walk out of my cottage straight into Suffolk’s beautiful open countryside. As spring breaks over the British Isles, and summer settles in, I’ll be documenting the wonder and richness of the natural world and bringing it into as many homes as I can.
There’ll be guest spots from other nature lovers, extracts from my monthly Nature Notebook columns in The Times, and snippets from the diaries of Gilbert White, England’s most famous naturalist. Listen each week to stay in touch with the outside world, the weather, and the changing seasons.
NB: I live, walk and work alone; remote audio production and editing is by Peter Rogers. All social distancing regulations are being followed, and government advice will be adhered to.
