Harvesting the Moon

Welcome to the ninth episode from September’s full moon sleep out of last year when Michael made the journey to Devon to meet a friend and then step along the Tarka Trail alongside the full Torridge flow.

"The sum of our labours is borne,
Reaping the sowing through the knowing of timely planting and nurtured growing
Now’s the season to pick and savour, relish the flavour, replenish and store,
Bung in the freezer before the real winter freezer appears"

Dedicated to Shaun and friendship


Thanks to 

Dominic Hall-Thomas for his drifting, somnolent music which compliments the sense of autumn's slow descent, so perfectly, and

Pommy Harmar for her production expertise.

About the Podcast

Sleeping with the Moon
What does a full moon mean to you? Have you ever slept out under one and watched it rise?

Storyteller Michael Loader has done just that. During the year of 2021, he spent one night a month sleeping out in a bivvi bag under the full moon and each experience inspired him to create a unique piece of writing.

On each full moon during 2022, we will release that story.
