Summary

In September's episode, we track the slow drift into autumn. Hearing a tale of Ganesh and the moon, we explore the names for September's full moon. We visit the border between France and Switzerland for a very special cheese, follow the migrations of Nathusius' pipistrelle bats, and encounter the spirit of the corn. As the Season Turns is an award-winning podcast presented by Lia Leendertz and created by Ffern, makers of small-batch, seasonal perfume. To find out more visit www.ffern.co

0:00.0	Welcome to As the Season Turns, a podcast following each month of the year.
0:10.8	As the hedgerows change, the full moons come and go, and nature takes its course in the garden.
0:17.0	I'm Leila Lander as a nature writer and author of The Almanac, a seasonal guide.
0:21.7	This podcast is brought to you by Fern, makers of small batch organic natural perfume,
0:27.4	who blend, barrel age and bottle four fragrances a year, released at the equinoxes and solstices.

1:22.0	All through August I have projects and ideas buzzing around my head and hardly any time to do anything about them.
1:24.6	This changes in September.
1:29.8	The image I get in my head when I think of September is of new stationary, a new empty notebook and a line of sharpened pencils. This is the moment that any
1:37.6	mental space you gave yourself in August can come to something, when sparks of ideas can be
1:43.6	written down and projects embarked upon, when blank pages can start to something, when sparks of ideas can be written down and projects embarked upon,
1:46.0	when blank pages can start to be filled.
1:49.9	The Equinox falls at the end of the month, and with it we are into the darker half of the year.
1:56.8	Perhaps with it comes a seriousness and a purposefulness.
2:01.9	I, for one, am all for it.
2:06.0	The naming of September.
2:10.3	Zultin in Scots Gallic.
2:13.3	September in Scots and Ulster Scots.
2:17.5	Manful in Irish Gaelic.
