Our kitchen chair balances precariously among the rocks that scatter Trevaunance Cove. We're chatting to Chris Weston, from the National Lobster Hatchery, and together a few moments earlier, we had witnessed something quite remarkable - the release of hundreds of two month old lobsters, barely longer than fingernail, back into the wild.In this episode of the Chair Project, we hear about the National Lobster Hatchery's mission to bolster the stocks of lobster along the coast in Cornwall, to support the fishing industry and our ocean health for years to come.

From the roof of Maker Church, there is a panoramic view of Cornwall. On a clear day, the Lizard stretches west, and to the east, Plymouth glints across the water as the Tamar meanders into the English Channel. It’s a quiet Tuesday night, but the bird’s evening chorus is about to be joined by a sound that feels almost as ubiquitous to this landscape - the chiming of church bells.
From the chair, we listen to John and Anita, who tell us about their small, eclectic community of those who ring the bells, what it takes to be a bellringer and why this simple activity means so much to them.
If you're keen to find out more about bell ringing at Maker church or even get involved yourself you can find John's contact details on the link HERE
Make sure to like, share and leave a review if you enjoyed listening.
Catch you on the next one!

Frozen sand, cold blue skies, and a low tide greeted us at Perranporth as we stepped out to film this episode. Bundled up in layers, and weighed down with cameras, we followed the stream of chattering bluetits across the sands towards Chapel Rock. It was a special December morning - and the perfect start for this project.
In this episode, we talk to Sarah Walsh, a cold water swimmer, swim coach, and founder of the Perranporth bluetits. After a freezing dip in the ocean, from The Chair Sarah speaks about cold water, mental health, faith and the power of community.
If you enjoy this conversation, make sure to check out the short film on our Instagram - @the.chair.project - and follow along for future episodes.
