For today's episode, I sat down with a very special guest. Reflecting on the happy childhood memories that formed his love of the sea, this conversation with my dad was a rare chance for us to reflect on the childhood inspiration that led us both to water. With a shared connection to blue spaces, this conversation made me realise more than ever the powerful influence of those around us, especially parents, to instil a love of nature that lasts a lifetime.

Something Old: Playing with toys in the bathtub as a child, afternoons spent on the beach during happy childhood holidays in Cornwall

Something New: Seabed cameras giving us opportunity to see the regeneration of our seas when given the chance to recover. Links golf courses leading the way on conservation with their natural coastal design

Something Borrowed: When does our affinity with water begin? The timeless role of water in healing, holidays and health

Something Blue: Lahinch, County Clare, Ireland & St Andrews, Scotland.

If you enjoyed the episode and are able to share with a friend or leave a review, I'd be super grateful.

The hope with this podcast is to bring a tiny dose of blue wherever in the world you're listening...to remind ourselves as a global community of ocean lovers that there is hope for the future of our waterways.

Sending you all the ocean love,

Lily xx
