Listen now
Description
In which I chat with Laetitia Maklouf, writer, journalist, mother and gardener who writes about managing her garden in 5 minute chunks whilst being a Mum and working.

Our conversation, which took place, in early September, was wide-ranging across the subjects of Lockdown parenting, finding time for yourself (she was getting up at 5.30am to get things done before the family woke up - I wonder if she still is) and gardening in 5 minutes a day. Oh, and mental health.
