0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Happy Place, the show where we talk openly and honestly about the challenges
0:07.8	we have all faced in our lives. I'm Fern Cotton and I want to say a huge thank you to everybody
0:14.2	that started subscribing since the beginning of season 3. As I said last week, this show
0:20.8	really means a lot to me and here how it's touching others is really really great. So thank
0:28.2	you and thanks to the lady that was out jogging today and looked quite spooked as she
0:33.9	ran past me and then stopped and said I'm just listening to you right now and she was
0:38.2	listening to last week's Ruby wax episode. Thank you for that. Now today you are in for
0:43.0	a treat as we meet Brit Award winner Sam Fender. I genuinely looking back behind for
0:48.2	I don't know how he saw this in that because I wouldn't have saw that in me but then
0:53.3	he did and I'm forever, forever grateful. Not only is his music great but he has a lot of
1:00.2	stories about growing up and how it's affected his music. It's a real must listen I think.
1:06.0	A little bit sweary but we don't mind that too much but do watch out for it if you don't

1:23.2	modern home available in a beautifully timeless colour palette that allows us to fill our homes
1:29.9	with whichever rich feelings we please. I've got a pot of an utterly gorgeous rich shade called
1:38.7	Deep Ultra Marine right here. Do you know the Lapis Lazuli Stone? It's like that. A completely hypnotic
1:49.6	blue that reminds me of just how much I feel mesmerised whenever I'm by the sea on the south coast.
1:57.6	It's got that gorgeous seaside feel to it, that deep sea feel to it. Whenever I'm by the sea
2:05.6	I feel just so much calmer. My nervous system, my physical body just everything slows down a bit
2:14.0	and feels less edgy and that means my thoughts stop racing. They're just at a slower pace and I feel
2:21.0	like I can just manage with everything that bit better. The sea has a huge effect on me.
