Stories from the Village of Nothing Much

Our stories today take us through some ways folks in the Village are spending their days and evening in the early summer. We’ll start by laying the table under the string lights in the garden and pulling up chairs with friends in The Dinner Bell. Then we’ll see where the night takes us, from the blanket in the part to the lot on the edge of town, with bubbles and blankets in At The Drive-In. Finally we’ll slow down, take some deep breaths and reset by arriving Early to Yoga. Subscribe to our Premium channel. The first month is on us. 💙 NMH merch, autographed books and more!

Originally presented April 15, 2024 as Episode 19 Our stories today highlight some of the loveliest simple pleasures of the spring. A walk, a road trip, a day in the garden. We’ll start with one of my all-time favorite stories and one that inspired me to write a whole book (coming soon!). It’s called Old Houses and if you’ve ever walked through a neighborhood and wondered about the stories of the houses you see, the people who have lived there, it is for you. Then we’ll load up the car and head out to The Hideaway for some time at the Cabin. Finally, we’ll gather our trowels and seed packets and pace out the garden in Spring at the Allotment.

We are doing something a little different with today’s episode, and I hope you dig it. I am going to take you on a little walking tour of a favorite location in the Village on Nothing Much. What? How will that work?  Yeah, I don’t know either. We’re going to figure it out together because, yes, the Village of Nothing Much is an imaginary place, a world I built story by story through my bedtime story podcast Nothing Much Happens, but why should that stop us? So you might want to listen to this while you are walking, just stretch your imagination a bit. Or listen wherever you are, just following along with me as I talk our  way through the Great House and Village Museum, where the map room sits on the top floor, and the labyrinth awaits in the gardens.   Order your own NMH weighted pillow now! shop.nothingmuchhappens.com/  Follow us on Instagram Save over $100 on Kathryn’s hand-selected wind-down favorites with the Nothing Much Happens Wind-Down Box.

Our stories today are about some of the joys of mid-winter. We’ll start by layering up the bed to keep the chill out in The Winter Quilt.
