I happened upon the BBC Norfolk podcast a few years ago and caught the whole back catalogue on Sounds, which was truly amazing. Absolutely delighted that you have both continued and really enjoy the shows abound with Chris’ knowledge. Really looking forward to visiting the farm this summer when we are holidaying near Cromer. We live near Wigan and I have sought to adopt many of the practices Chris shares in our own rural garden. Thank you Chris and Matthew, and the Soundyard team.

Thank you Chris and Matthew, we have enjoyed your podcast for a while now. We have a relative living in Norfolk he sent us some if your ox-eye daisies. So hopefully they're still going strong along the verges in Somerton, Somerset where we used to live. We visited the farm on a trip to Norwich last March and hope to again, this time in June.

Thank you so much to everyone involved for enabling us to continue to enjoy Chris’ love of nature and extensive knowledge. History and nature together. What a wonderful mixture and all delivered in Chris’ inimitable manner. A weekly tonic we would not be without and the joy is that repeat doses are available whenever a sunshine boost is required. Good luck with your project and thank you again for the pleasure it brings. Chris and Ray.
