Episode 2.9 - Gravestones and Orchids: Echoes of Earth
Step into the shadow of Caistor St. Edmund’s ancient churchyard with Chris Skinner and Matthew Gudgin, where weathered gravestones murmur tales of High Ash Farm’s toilers—men like “Happy” Holden and a boy who ploughed with horses before sailing to New Zealand. History fades into nature’s embrace as the duo tread a pollen field ablaze with bee orchids, their sudden bloom a riddle from centuries past, whispered through soil and fungal threads. Redwings flicker like embers across the hillside, woodpeckers drum spring’s arrival, and listeners’ queries unveil moths, robins, and deer in motion. From ancestral echoes to the wild’s quiet miracles, this episode stitches time and tide into Norfolk’s living tapestry.
