This episode is brought to you by the Recharge in Nature Project, a new partnership between

BMW and National Parks UK. I know that I need to recharge in nature. I often come back here

if I've been abroad or have been working inside, looking at the screen, been in the big

between BMW and National Parks UK to enhance electric car charging networks across all

15 national parks, making travel by electric vehicles these locations much easier, which

is great because it means when I'm on big cross-country journeys now, I'm going filming

enabling nature restoration biodiversity and well-being through the Recharge in Nature Fund.
