    Old Houses, Walks & Gardens (Encore)
    Apr 21 2025
    Originally presented April 15, 2024 as Episode 19 Our stories today highlight some of the loveliest simple pleasures of the spring. A walk, a road trip, a day in the garden. We’ll start with one of my all-time favorite stories and one that inspired me to write a whole book (coming soon!). It’s called Old Houses and if you’ve ever walked through a neighborhood and wondered about the stories of the houses you see, the people who have lived there, it is for you. Then we’ll load up the car and head out to The Hideaway for some time at the Cabin. Finally, we’ll gather our trowels and seed packets and pace out the garden in Spring at the Allotment.

    Apr 14 2025
    Our stories today take us through the blooms and births of spring. We’ll start with Mother Nature, visiting the daffodils on the front porch and the lemons on the counter, and finding a through line that connects us all. Then, meet New Friends at Weathervane Farm, where baby animals are wobbling about in the fresh hay, and the air is full of sunshine and birdsong. Finally, we will drive out to the Tulip Farm and fill a basket with fresh-cut blooms. AquaTru water purifier: Click here and get 20% OFF with code NOTHINGMUCH.

My Evening Weeknight Ritual

My days are always extremely full with a wonderful & busy toddler and a job that doesn’t slow down. My favorite way to relax each weeknight is listening to this podcast while doing a jigsaw puzzle — a ritual that just brings me so much peace in the evenings.

Thank you for creating such a lovely, peaceful, and relaxing podcast!

Nice to experience the village during the day

While the village brings me much comfort at night, trips to it also help me ease into my days. I’m excited for this podcast as well.

Heart warming stories we need to hear

These are wonderful stories to listen to first thing in the morning for a gentle and positive start to the day. Also great any time of the day. I love to listen to the baking stories when I’m baking and the gardening stories when I garden. It’s a great respite from all the negativity in media. When I start feeling anxious and overwhelmed the village of nothing much is a safe haven.Thank you so much for producing this podcast.

actually magic

I've been using all of Kathryn''s podcasts for a while now, and they are so effective that they are impacting the lives of people around me. I am sleeping better, so my partner is sleeping better. That in turn creates a better environment for every single thing, place, and person we come across throughout the day. Katheyn''s good vibes are my good vibes are now everybody's good vibes.

SIMPLICITY at its Finest!

I love Everything about this Podcast: deep breath to begin, basic yet interesting stories, slow and soft-paced (making you remember special moments in your own life), Kathryn’s voice, the donations. I’m so glad I found this by accident!
