This week we’re going al fresco and kicking the leaves on an autumnal walk through the woods. We discuss the difference between woods and forests and the connection between forests and foreigners. We also blaze a trail by hook or by crook through our neck of the woods, and we get to the root of the link between trees and loyalty. And do you know which language has 421 different terms for snow? It’s not as obvious as you’d think... A Somethin’ Else production.
Susie’s Trio of Words:
Roke - a fog that rises in the evening off marshes and water meadoes
Slidder - a hollow running down a hill
Striddle - to walk uncomfortably (to hirple, if you will…)
