In today's episode, I'm chatting with Mrs Meg Avon, Writer, Campaigner and River Wife. Meg is a remarkable human. Acting out of love for her beloved Avon, Meg married the river in June 2023. Now living in Bristol, she is a passionate guardian for our waterways; bringing joy and courage by the bucketful to rewrite the story of our rivers.

Something Old: Splashing in streams in Wales as a child, building dams and bodyboarding with cousins and brothers; feeling a sense of timelessness in the water

Something New: Guardianship and grassroots activism for the water. The pursuit of legal personhood for bodies of water, inspired by Phoebe Tickell's 'Moral Imaginations' movement to create new possibilities and new action to make the world better for everyone

Something Borrowed: The creative art of storytelling and puppet making; journeying with 'Avona' puppet along the river to speak for water's rights

Something Blue: Conham Steps, Bristol

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
