August 24

August is the first real harvest month - so we go foraging in the ancient woodland, delving into the folklore of blackberries, elder and rowan along the way. Zoe tells a familiar tale from the herb garden, and The Breath sing 'Harvest', one of the first songs they wrote together. Our moss of the month takes us underground, while in the sky above we look out for meteors. An excerpt from Seamus Heaney's poem 'Blackberry-Picking', published by Faber in 'Death of A Naturalist' (1966), is read with the kind permission of his estate.
