Hello and a massive welcome to Happy Place with me, Fern Cotton. Today, a real treat.

We're reliving last month's Happy Place Festival at Gunnersbury Park.

All the people in my life were here complaining about having bad backs. A massive part of that is us suppressing how we feel.

We are done with the time of treating cancer, we are now treating the people.

brilliant Richie Norton, my good pal, and the power of being out in nature from Julia Bradbury, aka the Bradders.
