Happy New Year to you! Phew, I don't know about you but I needed a bit of relaxation and calm after all that hustle the festive season brings. So I thought I would go for a short woodland walk - and take you with me. Get yourself comfortable, sit back, close your eyes and take in all the sounds of this short walk in the woods.

Breathe nice and slow and get inspired to go on your own local journeys for rest and relaxation. If you want to do a similar visit to the beach with me, let me know in the comments - or if you have any other suggestions.

Welcome to this weeks episode of the My Slice of Life podcast where, for this season, we are diving into the folklore of trees and plants. This week we are talking about stinging nettle and the rowan tree. From witches, fairies, guiding lost hikers, to healing the sick, amongst other things, these plants have some fascinating folklore!

I did have a couple of technical glitches for some reason, so if you are listening to this (as opposed to watching on YouTube), at the 57second mark I’m actually saying ‘prepping’ and at 7mins 50secs, I say ‘chervil’ but it sounds like ‘kervil’!

This is the last episode for Season 4 where I've been asking the question, what's so Super about the Supernatural and we are ending on a high note!

The Cokeville Miracle is truly a remarkable story which, if things went the way the were supposed to, would have been a major tragedy for a small town. However, it does seem someone or some ones intervened to protect the children and teachers who were taken hostage that day. 

Join me for a truly amazing story which many people believe proves the existence of Angels and how they work to protect us.

Welcome to this weeks episode of the My Slice of Life podcast with your Highland host, Sharon. 

This season I have been asking 'What's so super about the Supernatural' and this week I delve into the world of the Mothman. What is the mysterious creature being seen out there? Does he bring warnings of disaster, is he causing the disasters or is it all something else entirely?

In this intriguing episode, I bring you frightening accounts, from grave diggers from West Virginia amongst other tales of the mythical Mothman as reported by witnesses from many different areas.  If you've always associated Point Pleasant with the Mothman, you might be surprised to hear there is another place now considered to be a major hotspot for encounters!
