Nothing much happens: bedtime stories to help you sleep

Our story tonight is called Autumn at the Inn, Part Four, and for now it’s the last in this series. It’s a story about a new routine that heals as it unfolds, a morning cup of tea drunk from a window seat on the second floor, a room full of interesting objects, and stories waiting to be heard. It’s also about an armful of letters, a bike ride through falling leaves and stepping into something new to find yourself again.

Our story tonight is called Autumn at the Inn, Part Three. And, you guessed it, it is a continuation of the last two episodes. Though you don't need to go back and listen to those if you slept through them, which I hope you did. This is a story about arriving somewhere you've never been, but where you feel instantly at home. It's also about eucalyptus and chamomile, a thick blanket at the foot of the bed, ducks on the lake, meeting a new friend, and a meal shared in the moonlight.

Our story tonight is called Chef and Sycamore, and it’s a story about an afternoon in the kitchens at the Inn, as jars of pickles are lowered into the canner. It’s also about sheets of labels ready to add to the jars, the view of the hammocks in the side yard, and a kitty waiting not-so-patiently to play.  For a limited time, you can try OneSkin with 15% off using code NOTHINGMUCH at ⁠oneskin.co⁠ [https://www.oneskin.co].

Our story tonight is called Autumn at the Inn, Part 2, and it’s the second in this series, though you don't need to go back and listen to Part 1 [https://www.nothingmuchhappens.com/stories/autumn-at-the-inn], if, I don't know... you might have slept through it? Nothing much happened in it. This is a story about a train ride, through changing fields, an old station wagon packed-full of pies, a sketch of the moon on the pages of a journal, wind and waves, and a week full of adventure ahead.
