Being that I’m already very introspective and prone to episodes of depression, I find that I can easily go down internal rabbit holes during these cold winter months. I’ve been experimenting with writing on piano lately and it’s been incredibly cathartic, shifting my energy to get through the cold days. Here’s a little idea I’m working on x

This year I received Next Level funding from @helpmusicians 😁 Thanks for supporting a struggling artist record an EP. I’m grateful that funding still even exists for artists in this climate 🙏🏼 #helpmusicians #funding
Have you caught up on our podcast yet?
Day Two: Watlington to High Wycombe
The second day of the pilgrimage began with breakfast at the church in Watlington, thanks to the hospitality of Father Andrew, before the walkers set out on the road toward High Wycombe.
Sunshine and showers marked the day, but so too did rich conversation. In this episode, Matthew speaks at length with Ralph, who shares his journey of faith — from atheism to Quakerism — and how spiritual friendship and activism shape his life. This is not Ralph’s first pilgrimage, and he reflects on how his path now weaves together peace, climate action, and a deep sense of connection with the evolving life of Quakerism.
We also drop into the ‘Foot Clinic’, where Sam speaks with Lorna, Chrissy and Rachel about nature connection and the ways the journey deepens awareness of the land. Along the way, the pilgrims are accompanied by red kites circling overhead and even a family of deer on the path — reminders of the beauty and presence of the natural world.
Ratatouille for dinner!
