Lost Words Spell Songs

The beautiful Lost Words book by artist Jackie Morris and writer Robert Macfarlane has become a cultural phenomenon, raising awareness of the importance of nature words in our lives. It has also spawned the Spell Songs project featuring some of our top folk artists. In this special edition of Folk on Foot, Matthew walks with Jackie and the singer, cellist and ukulele player Beth Porter (The Bookshop Band) on the hill near Jackie’s cottage in Wales. Beth sings and plays as Jackie creates an otter painting in her studio. We also hear music from Julie Fowlis and Kerry Andrew/You Are Wolf.

Another cat that likes walkies, as well as the dog. Loved the film. My neighbour lent me the books.

Love everything about this. And the cat!

All is great of course especially the cat. But when I first saw this video, he/she ended the film arriving on the top of a hill, alone. That's been cut. Is there somewhere I can see the full version, please. I think the beginning might have been different too, maybe with Matthew talking ?
