🌸 More Than Words – Episode 25: The Hothouse Flowers 🌸

From Miami smugness to London tunnels and Northern Ireland’s most over-engineered corridor.

Featuring:

☕ Miami Beach: Cuban coffee, pancakes, and the gentle joy of moderate financial extortion

🎄 Gatecrashing work Christmas parties: all the fun, none of the meetings

🚇 Leake Street Tunnel: Banksy’s legal graffiti playground, rats included

🚂 Portadown: forgetting air-raid shelters exist

🛣️ Craigavon: Britain’s boldest roundabout experiment

🪡 Lurgan: tablecloths, folklore, and a woman buried twice

🌴 Moira: battlefields, pineapples, and Europe’s first hothouse

✈️ Nutt’s Corner: ex-airport, legendary market

It’s travel with graffiti fumes, retirement glow, urban planning disasters, historical trauma, and walking logs stitched across beaches, tunnels, fairways, and roundabouts.

🌴 More Than Words – Episode 24: Not Throwing Away My Shot 🌴

From Caribbean cruise confinement to Tyrone crossroads and compost-related trauma, because nothing says “walking project” like Alexander Hamilton, granite grottoes, plantation paperwork, and a smell you can’t escape.

Featuring:

🏝️ Nevis: tiny island, enormous history

🎭 Alexander Hamilton: overachiever and rapper-by-proxy

🪨 Virgin Gorda: granite boulders showing off like they’re paid per Instagram post

🪨 Gold stones, saintly nagging, and excellent bogs

🚧 Ambush junctions, and a café that sells tights

👃 Cabragh: poor land, rich smell

🧵Quakers, linen, and porridge-brand cosplay

🐎 Waterloo: I was defeated you won the horse

🏰 Forts taken by phishing scams

🛍️ Scotch Street: saints, settlers, prisons, teapots, and a pub sign rebrand

It’s cruise ship Stockholm syndrome, Founding Fathers on holiday, granite flexing, plantation geometry, linen empires, compost protests, and enough history to qualify as emotional cardio.

☀️📍 More Than Words – Stage 23: Show Me the Sunny 📍☀️

One brief detour into cruise-ship excess — then straight back to what we do best: historical over-delivery, questionable decisions, and a stage so dense it should’ve come with a contents page.

Featuring:


🚢 A floating buffet briefly interrupts the walking


🏰 Plantation optimism, and the bold theory that stolen land would be fine, actually


🧊 Drumlins: ice-age bubble-wrap


☠️ A village literally named “plague grave” 


🍺 Miraculous beer taps, and medieval dairy-based divine protection


⚔️ Dynastic feuds: playground version


🧀 Victorian cheese co-operatives

You'll get massacres, monasteries, plague pits, saints with excellent miracles, and nineteen waypoints that refused to behave. Listen to this and you’ve survived the Fermanagh Mega-Stage — everything else is basically a rest day.
