Ask Charlie Founder Talks Countryside Pleasures, Overcoming Adversity & Winning A TV Show Handcuffed

Charlie Gray... this is your Rural Life! Welcome to Series 1, Episode 6 of The Farmette Podcast. Today we are joined by the wonderful Charlie Gray, founder of Ask Charlie, a lifestyle platform devoted to seasonal living, homemaking and practical skills for modern family life. Charlie's life has been shaped by her love of the outdoors, having spent time in some idyllic places around the UK - and especially The Scottish Highland, where she spent childhood holidays with the sea at the end of our front garden and the mountains behind her. The smell of the sea breeze, the lobster pots, crabbing and hill walks are memories that will stay with her forever - and we are delighted she talks to us about these lovely moments. At the heart of Charlie's ever growing business, Ask Charlie, is a belief that life becomes richer when we slow down, reconnect with traditional skills and create homes that feel warm, calm and welcoming. Her work blends practical guidance with gentle encouragement, helping people rediscover the everyday joys of cooking, gardening and family life. She is a also an author, currently working on her second book and alongside her work recently appeared on - and won - the Channel 4 television series Handcuffed: Last Pair Standing. The experience pushed her far beyond everyday routines, yet highlighted the same values that sit at the heart of her work: adaptability, kindness and quiet determination. We hope you enjoy this chat about Charlie's life...
