Hello and welcome to the Slow Home podcast. This is the podcast all about slow living for a fast-paced world and I am Brooke McCallory.

My name is Ben McCallory and welcome to episode 227. Thank you. I'm excited for this.

We've got through to March and for those playing along at home, we're doing experiments every other month this year.

Yeah, we are actually.

Let's talk about that a bit because we did mention it maybe at the end of last year,

talk to us about whenever we meet anyone who listens to the podcast.

And last year was a bit crazy and we opted to not do the experiments, 2017, and we miss them.

And so did you guys.

Yeah, everyone missed them.

Yeah.

So they're back.

We're doing them slightly differently this year because we're only doing one episode a week,

2018.

We are doing an experiment every second month, as you said.

with this week.

Yeah, we mentioned it at the beginning of last week's episode, but this month is all about

the great outdoors and specifically prioritising time in the great outdoors, prioritising time

spent outside in nature.
