Somerset Stories gets our heads in the clouds... as we meet advocate and evangelist for one of nature\u2019s most transient and poetic displays. Gavin Pretor-Pinney founded the Cloud Appreciation Society around 15 years ago after a career in the creative industries. He has united tens of thousands of people around the world with a passion for clouds. Along with this global community, he has also written books on the subject, and spoken to a wide range of audiences, from literary festivals to ted talks. We met earlier this month at Gavin\u2019s home in Somerton, and started the podcast in a slightly unusual way \u2013 by doing a bit of cloudspotting ourselves. So why not take a moment while you listen to our conversation to look up and do your own daydreaming\u2026
