ABOUT
Welcome aboard!
I am Tom – gardener, river dweller, bird seed artist, bird watcher, professional wanderer, podcaster and lifelong learner.
The Small Scale Life Podcast is a place to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with simple living, seasonal rhythms, gratitude, and care—for ourselves, our homes, and the natural world. Here, we grow food and flowers, feed the birds, explore the world around us and live in tune with the seasons.
Whether it is planting garlic, reflecting by the water, kayaking down a river, feeding the birds or finding wellness in simple routines….
You are welcome here.
