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.

When Norah Hale was 9 years old, she set out on a sponsored walk to raise money for the Community of Arran Seabed Trust. Ever since then, she’s been inspired by British wildlife. Now 14 years old, this episode was recorded on the day she finished a week of work experience with COAST. In this episode, we chat about Norah’s love of Arran, scuba diving and her path towards a career in conservation.
