September: Ancient medicine, acorn gatherers & the Autumn Equinox

September is here and it's seen a big change in the weather - the dry heat of August seems to be behind us and the heavens have opened!

In this month's episode, Father makes Jasper & Rob sample some of his homemade 'Elderberry Rob' - an ancient medicinal concoction for winter ailments that we like to think was somehow named with our Rob in mind. This traditional drink has fascinating health benefits and you can make it yourself!

Father educates us about the bird whose name translates to 'chattering acorn gatherer' - you'll be stunned at how many acorns they can gather at once (and where they store them!)

And he also tells us about the Autumn Equinox celebration in September called 'Mabon' and a friend's book launch that he's been invited to.

You can find the book here with all profits going to Teenage Cancer Trust and Suffolk Owl Sanctuary: https://www.ouraccidentalletters.com/
