At home with Sarah & Emma

I chat to Sarah and Emma from Read & Hall about their daily rituals and the small things that bring them joy. "Slow living to us is prioritising your own needs and is about making the everyday things you do as nice as possible. Feeling good in what you wear, making lovely food for yourself and drinking from a nice cup. All enhances your experience of each day."

Christie lives in the south-west coastal town of Denmark with her husband Dave, two boys and the family kelpie. Knowing that friends and family would be flocking to visit for a seaside getaway, they started renovating their shed to accommodate visitors. Three years on, they've created the Slow Drift for us all to experience the slower pace of country life – that beautiful balance of salt and earth that is Denmark.

Do you believe in signs?

When you’re stumbling along and not sure what path to take. And you're looking for that little nudge from the universe, that tells you you’re on the right track.

But that was my situation a couple of years ago when I was questioning everything. Then the universe gave me a sign, in the most unexpected place.

Journey to Onta – the ancient Japanese pottery village

Onts is a hidden gem, tucked away on the southern island of Japan. Along winding mountain roads I found the tiny village, where ten families have been creating pottery, using the same humble techniques for more than 300 years.
