In this, the first podcast of our Autumn season, We are Curious join Gilcrux and District Social Fund for a day out in, and on, Windermere, 18 October 2023. And, on 14 October, we visited a community event in Denton Holme, Carlisle, where we met some really inspirational people...

A special edition podcast, thanks to your feedback.

... and (continuing our mini series about Macbeth and his connection to the Lords of Allerdale,) the history of Old Siward.

We visit our friend, blacksmith David Watson, at his farmstead and forge in West Cumbria.

(This episode was previously published as an m4a, this version is mp3 and so will be available on several podcast channels it wasn't available on before.)

... and we visit our friend, David Purcell. David is a professional actor, one time defence solicitor and judge, and now a debut author.

I've uploaded this episode again as an mp3 so it will be available in some of the podcasts channels (eg Spotify, Amazon etc.) that weren't available to me in m4a. Thanks for your patience!
