Good evening and I do hope you will keep me company for ten quiet moments as I share the difficulties of trying get being a daughter right at the age of 52; then take you to the fantastic showing off at Rotten Row, before Bede closes with a win for the Britons.
Rest well, all.

Hello, I would be honoured if you would join me in my Dorset garden as I read a little Bede and am joined by a wren and a protesting cat. The clocks have gone back in England but we will get through the long, dark nights together. One day at a time 🌳🌞

I am sorry but I make a blunder in this episode where I interrupt myself. I hope any kind listeners won’t give up on me for this. I will try hard not to repeat the blunder. I was speaking about a conversation I had today with my mother and I’ll go back to it tomorrow. Don’t forget to turn the clocks back if you live in the UK. A demain mes beaux amis 🪻🌞☺️

Gretel invites you to accompany her as she navigates the world a day at a time; the podcast is unscripted, it’s ad-free. It was started to help cope with the imminent death of her mother, and has continued after the grief sadly started in February of 2024. It was a path of solace and remains a path of solace, peace and kindness.
Gretel: ‘while looking outwards and finding the beauty in the world to observe and appreciate, it allows the loose ends within us to knit together. Wounds are soothed and - with an honest and open heart - shame, sorrow and despair can be lifted. There is a whole world out there, including our past, which is fascinating’.
