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 2 she’ll be opening the windows and enjoying the lighter days in ‘The Spring Tonic’ with colleagues and contributors. Each episode will embrace small ways to make the most of the season; a pick-me-up to help us make the mental shift from winter hibernation to an appreciation of spring. It’s a gentle reminder to note and notice what’s going on in your patch. We’ll talk about jobs and jaunts that take you outdoors, projects and pastimes that bring their own satisfaction. And the joys of birdsong, blossom and bluebells.Released weekly from 1 April this six-week companion will take you from when the clocks go forward in the UK through to the May Day weekend.
