Heard a cuckoo calling from our front garden yesterday eve! A wonderful end of May Day treat for the ears, and first time ever on my home patch, but not much of a welcome party from the British Summer Time so far... #TellingtheSeasons #singsofspring #cuckoo

It's a joy to edit. Fabulous storytelling Martin 👏 Goes out on 9th May at 3pm on @BBCRadio4

Wonderful day in the holloways and hills of Dorset last Friday recording for #OpenCountry with @HelenMark01 and @robinmarkwell. More details shortly, but we followed the train of the Colpexies deep underground... #Dorset #Nature #Folkllore

@alligalbraith @THP_Local Wonderful! Wassailing still keeps me merrily busy every January in the West Country too... Hope to cross paths one day, M

@StoryMartin @THP_Local I worked with Grounds for Learning a few times, here in Scotland, Martin - Apple wassailing is still popular and growing every year - your book will keep the momentum growing :)
