TV's Patrick Grant from The British Sewing Bee on his plastic-free brand, Community Clothing
01:00:25||Season 4, Ep. 146Yikes everybody, so I've somehow managed to book an actual TV celeb for today's live chat at 2pm - it's Patrick Grant, award-winning designer and one of the judges from The Great British Sewing Bee! He has a sustainable, plastic-free clothing company called Community Clothing, all made at a factory in Blackburn with local workers, models and photographers. They have a small range of sportswear ideal for summer running - namely t-shirts, vests, shorts and hoodies. They aren't highly technical garments like SOAR, but they are much lower in price! Like £35 for a t-shirt, normal prices. So this is going to be a super interesting chat.Originally on YouTube here https://youtube.com/live/Whw9HC-FoXoPatrick's book Less: Stop Buying So Much Rubbish: How Having Fewer, Better Things Can Make Us Happier https://amzn.to/46ASDG2Community Clothing website (apparently the sports socks are fab!

From mountain runner to mountain rescue casualty - how Sally Gilson escaped loosing a foot on the fells
41:23||Season 4, Ep. 144Thanks so much to Sally Gilson for today’s episode. Four months ago, ultra runner and Wild Ginger Running Patreon Sally badly broke her ankle while on a hike in the Lake District to celebrate her 50th birthday. The damage was so bad she had to be stretchered off the hill by Keswick Mountain Rescue. They had to put her foot agonisingly back in place on the hill quickly or she risked losing it altogether. After surgery, two pins and a metal plate, Sally’s bone is gradually fusing back together but she is navigating a life without running for a good while. She was aiming for a 100 miler this summer but crewed for her buddy instead. We caught up with Sally to find out more about her accident, her subsequent recovery and how she’s coping with being a runner who can’t run for possibly a whole year.
