Original bedtime stories for grown-ups: cosy serial fiction, written and narrated by us, slow enough to fall asleep to. Quiet villages and kitchen tables: a toast maker on a Sunday, a bookshop cat who won't settle, a family farm in 1953, a garden almanac kept through the year. Low stakes on purpose: the worst thing that happens is a burnt pan. Most episodes run a whole evening (four hours or so), so you can put it on, settle in, and not be woken by the end of it. Every series has its own writer: Eliza Hartley writes The Toast Maker, Margery Cole writes Green Hollow, Cecily Ash keeps the Elderwick Almanac.
