The Light Over the Next Hill (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is the twelfth and last of the series, and it's the equinox. Light and dark come level soon and then they tip, and from then the dark half has it. It isn't a recap and it isn't a big finish. What it is, is a doorway episode. We stand at the threshold for an hour, look back down the glen quickly without making a meal of it, and then say something over the going. The folklore is one of the Gaelic journey blessings, said standing at your own door before setting out. And it doesn't ask for what
Who Are You Lighting Fires For? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Back at Lùnastal we spent an hour asking who lit the fire on your hill. This is the other side of it. Who are you lighting them for. And I want to be careful, because the obvious version of this episode is one you don't need. You have been pouring yourself out for other people since you were about nineteen and it's a large part of why you're tired. So here's what I actually think.

Life Doesn't End at the Top of the Hill (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There's a feeling I hear about constantly from women in their forties and fifties, and it never comes out directly. It sounds like: I've left it too late. That was the window, and I was busy.

You climb, you reach the top, and then you go down the other side. Which puts a woman of forty-eight somewhere on

This is the warm one. We've had eight weeks of heavy weather, and the year has turned toward the harvest, so I've the Sun for you. Which is exactly where somebody in my line of work is most likely to say something useless. So here's the thing I want to be straight about. You cannot make a sun. And a fair bit of your life has gone by while you waited for one to come up, because there's a way of thinking that goes: I'll start when work settles, when I've got my energy back, when I feel more like m
You Don't Need to See the Whole Mountain (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is the third time in eight weeks I've come at the same problem, and I want to be honest about that. In week three we looked at the hill you keep circling and I said the circling costs more than the climb would. A fortnight ago we were out on the bog and I said you're waiting for a certainty this sort of decision never produces. Both of those are true. Neither has got some of you moving, and I've been sitting with why. Here's the thing I think I'd been missing. Wanting to see the whole mount
