The story of inspiration for this week came from a listener who has decided to listen to their heart and go backpacking (an adventure they’ve dreamed of for a long time). They asked for a poem to reassure them that they’ve done the right thing by packing up their old life to go on an adventure. Join Sweetpea Poet (Liz Green) as she shares the inspiration and story behind this week's poem, with lots of tips especially for all the writers out there.

This week’s listener asked for a poem about the British summertime - having just gone for a weekend away to Brighton, they wanted a poem which celebrated British beach holidays. Join Sweetpea Poet (Liz Green) as she shares the inspiration and story behind this week's poem, including how we can beat perfectionist tendencies as artists and why we should in a world with immense pressure to make everything perfect. Of course, also the joys of Brighton and British beach breaks too!

This week's episode is a first as the story of inspiration came not from a listener, but from myself. An exceptional case for an exceptional person - the lovely Bella, a dear friend, who I dedicate this episode to. In this week's episode I explore the theme of friendship, along with appreciating what we have before it's gone and how it's the small, unexpected things which can bring us the most joy and creative inspiration.
