I fly a plane called Saoirse to places most people drive past, and I bring back the thing the view was hiding. Not the postcard. The story underneath it, the one most people walk straight past. Some of it will make you want to go. Some of it will stay with you for reasons you won't expect. You don't need a plane. You just need to wonder what you've been driving past.

    Fernando's Logbook Trailer

    Send us a text Some weekends, the person in the seat beside me is having the worst year of their life. I'm Fernando. I fly a small plane called Saoirse, and when I can, I give free flights to people who need a day away. The rest of the time, I fly to places most people drive past and bring back the stories. Not the view. The thing the view was hiding. You don't need a plane, or any interest in planes, to listen. The flying is only how I happen to arrive. A new true story every couple of weeks.

    Devon, the Jurassic Coast and a Donkey Called Zena

    Send us a text In this episode, we fly to Exeter, Devon, to visit Zena, a donkey Fernando adopted a year ago and has never once visited.  This episode is part travel guide, part quiet question on the things we care about from a distance.  We explore the Regency seaside town of Sidmouth, walk the Jurassic Coast, and visit the Donkey Sanctuary, one of the largest equine welfare charities in the world and one of the best free family days out in the south of England.
