It is officially March! 🌷 The sun has finally made an appearance (though my greenhouse plans are currently on hold thanks to the rain!), and I have been so excited to share this week’s episode with you.

A few weeks ago, I was scrolling through social media and saw an incredible video of a rider on the set of the new Wuthering Heights movie. I went down a total rabbit hole researching his work on The Witcher and Bridgerton, and I just knew I had to get him on the show.

This week, I’m chatting with horse trainer and performer Freddy Steele. We’re talking about:

  • Meeting Margot Robbie & Jacob Elordi: What are they really like on set?
  • Horse Makeup & Wigs: Yes, the horses have hair extensions too! 🐴💅
  • The "Broken Eggs" Mystery: Freddie reveals the top-secret code name they used on set.
  • The "Border Collie" of Horses: Why he’s obsessed with the Lusitano breed.

If you’re stuck inside hiding from the March rain like me, this is the perfect escape. It’s a fascinating look at what it actually takes to bring these massive stories to life. Grab a cuppa and dive into the wild world of the Wuthering Heights set on the Moors with us—listen to the episode now!
