Restid

Ep 30: Lazy Sunday

Village life with a horse, a mouse and rabbits. Train politeness, buses in Samoa and the art of John Noakes in Dunedin. Together with the long-lasting relevance of a Victorian Act of Parliament.

Ep 29: Return Journey

The Delta Lady and random direction choices. Remarkable navigation, the human fishing fleet, and sailing down the Thames

Ep 28: Kiwi Connections

A story of survival and recovery.  From Singapore to New Zealand via Japan.  A new family and communities of mobility. Not forgetting Granny’s bottle of rum.

Ep 27: Distance and Discretion

A 1625 atlas, the Swedish Mile and the Kiwi Kilometre confuse, and William Whyte laments that the human backside is a dimension architects seem to have forgotten.  ‘On Looking: A Walkers Guide to the Art of Observation' by Alexandra Horowitz.  The Trooping Of the Colour and birthday suits.

Ep 26: The Garden

Meeting the wise, appreciating a vegetable, and making unexpected discoveries.  Buddha’s tooth is revealed and a Tardis on wheels saves the day.  All wrapped up with the delights of the Lost Gypsy Gallery and Peake’s Kitchen.

Ep 25: Angels

Trusted friends are important as a market correction or recession looms, and trusted strangers can help too, just like the Trail Angels.  New opportunities will arise, as they have in the past. Meanwhile, for Willow, a long unexpected journey has begun.
And ‘If This Isn’t Nice, What Is?’ by Kurt Vonnegut is a good read in these turbulent times.

Ep 24: Flocking Herds

Flocking herds, pearls and possums.  ‘Careless People’ by Sarah Wynn-Williams and ‘Adolescence’ on Netflix.  The silent majority, the vocal minority and the assumptions we make about people.  Thankfully, kindness and common sense invariably prevail.

Ep 23: Goals

A new life and a long journey begin. Travelling around the World demonstrates again the kindness of strangers and that our goals so often fall short of our reach.

Ep 22: Swift Trips

Swifties and Deadheads, engaged, loyal travellers all.  Whether it’s great distances or 15-minute neighbourhoods.  Proximity, accessibility and safety matter.  Hopefully you know the route.

Ep 21: Human

A demonstration of multitasking, human service, engagement and how apparent solutions commonly put carts in front of horses.  Strange misconceptions and engineered addiction.
