Something Blue: Love Letters To The Ocean
Something Blue: Love Letters To The Ocean
Podcast Description
Where do you imagine when I ask you to think of something blue? Maybe it's an ocean, a river or a lake, maybe it's the feeling you get when you take a sip of water, or the calmness in your mind as you sit at the water's edge. Water is there for every chapter of our lives, and in this podcast, we'll be discovering the untold stories of our love affair with water. I'll be inviting guests to share their something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue, as we dive into the realm of all things water and take a moment to appreciate the truly wonderful nature of blue spaces. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In today’s episode, I’m chatting with Mrs Meg Avon, Writer, Campaigner and River Wife. Meg is a remarkable human. Acting out of love for her beloved Avon, Meg married the river in June 2023. Now living in Bristol, she is a passionate guardian for our waterways; bringing joy and courage by the bucketful to rewrite the story of our rivers.
