November
For November we are in the glen, where despite the dark damp of autumn, treasures abound. Bright ferns, mosses and fungi glow on steep slopes of rock, each species with its own stories to tell. In the stony stream of this remote place, there are trout, handsome and wise. High above, buzzards call, and as night falls the winter constellations glow with that special late-year brightness, disrupted only by the glow of this month’s supermoon.

October
For October we’re amid grass-spiked sand dunes, where small birds scrap over autumn berries. Late bees search for nectar ahead of winter, a rare toad crouches amid the roses and sea buckthorn, and the wind whistles, carrying songs of mermaids in from the sea. In the water, flounders flip and shimmy through the shallows, while in the sky above we see the trail of a great comet.

September
For September, we’re on a shingle beach, where the shifting pebbles reveal unexpected life. Tall stalks of wild fennel have long memories to share, while above us black-headed gulls call insistently in the fading sky. At sea, tiger-striped mackerel slip and shimmer through the waves, displacing the water as our feet dislodge small lichens on shore, where we listen out for story and song. This is an edgeland, where nothing stays the same for long... As the Season Turns is an award-winning podcast presented by Lia Leendertz and created by Ffern, makers of small-batch, seasonal perfume.

August
In this August episode, it’s an unsettled day on the estuary. As the tide retreats the mud gives up its treasures - molluscs, aromatic wild herbs and the calls of wetland birds. In the water, small sharks scull through the shallows, while back on shore we hear tales of transformation, and a gentle song of the harvest.
