<p>This week Emily and Ray travel to Wales for a beautiful beach walk with the wonderful <strong>Charlotte Church</strong>, joined by her two dogs Holly the Cavapoo and Selma the Spoodle.</p><br><p>They met on Barry Island Beach, which might look familiar thanks to <em>Gavin and Stacey</em>, and Emily chats to Charlotte about her extraordinary life. From her childhood in Wales, to singing <em>Pie Jesu</em> on <em>This Morning</em> at just 11, becoming <em>Voice of an Angel</em>, and going on to sell more than ten million records, Charlotte reflects on the incredible highs of those early years and the surreal moments that came with worldwide fame.</p><br><p>Charlotte also talks about her recent appearance on <em>Celebrity Traitors</em>, where she was reunited with <strong>Jonathan Ross</strong>, who played a key role in her early career after showcasing her talent on his <em>Big Big Talent Show</em>.</p><br><p>Charlotte also talks about turning her attention to a very different kind of project in recent years, transforming Laura Ashley’s former home in Wales into <em>The Dreaming</em>, a magical wellbeing retreat offering nature immersion, meditation, sound healing, yoga and even night-time forest bathing. You can explore retreat packages and find out more at <a href="https://thedreaming.co.uk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://thedreaming.co.uk</a>.</p><br><p>It’s a warm and joyful conversation with someone who became globally famous as a child, yet has somehow remained grounded, funny and wonderfully down to earth. Emily and Ray absolutely loved spending time with her.</p><br><p><strong>Follow Emily:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/emilyrebeccadean" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> </p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/divine_miss_em" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">X</a></p><br><p><strong>Walking The Dog</strong> is produced by <strong>Will Nichols</strong></p><p><strong>Music:</strong> Rich Jarman</p><p><strong>Artwork:</strong> Alice Ludlam</p><p><strong>Photography:</strong> Karla Gowlett</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
