Small Ways To Live Well from The Simple Things
By The Simple Things
Small Ways to Live Well is a podcast from The Simple Things, a monthly magazine about slowing down, remembering what’s important and making the most of where you live.
Hosted by the Editor, Lisa Sykes, in Season 3: Everyday holidays, she’ll be exploring, alongside colleagues and contributors, how to take time off and time out this summer.
It’s often a time of high expectations for the weather, for holidays, for our gardens and life generally but it’s so often not all sunshine and roses. Our routines disappear and it can seem like others are having better rest and recreation time, socialising more and working less. But we believe a good summer is a mindset rather than a destination. Each episode will suggest simple things you can do and make, places to explore on your doorstep and small ways to find both calm and fun. Think high summer, slow living.
Released weekly from 21 July, this six-week companion will be at your side through the summer holiday season to ‘back-to-school’ September.
