Good evening, how are you?  A very warm welcome to newcomers or old comers; to regulars or to drop-ins.  I’m here every day so that you’ve always got a place to go if you need some comfort and companionship.  Let do our bit to make larger the space in the world that protects people from unkindness, crassness and loneliness.  It was so lovely to hear from dearest Barbara from Ohio - my oldest listener so far at 82.  I particularly want to hear from you if you are living alone, experiencing grief or feeling isolated. I would love to hear from anyone - do you have a favourite poem you’d like me to read? A place you would like to tell me about that I can share with others?

And thank you so much to those who subscribe monthly - please stop after a few months as I know how irritating monthly payments are - all these small commitments add up.  Just a little help or one off contributions are appreciated so that I can pop money in the collection boxes if the churches that I visit.  

Thank you for joining me and I hope you are having a lovely weekend 😊

I am still missing my mother terribly, but take huge comfort from the world around me.

Lots of love 🌷🐑🫖🪿🌷🙋‍♀️ and email me at [email protected]

…. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle.  🕯️🤓🥳

Hello! We’re having two episodes today, to catch up with our Saints and to fit in this evening our start on the Anglo Saxon Chronicle, which will run alongside Pepys.  Nothing’s too tricky for we band of merry, curious folk 🤓

Good afternoon and welcome to today’s episode where we visit on foot a tiny chancel that once had a nave; built in the Tudor times just before the Reformation with a still visible coat of arms of Henry VIII above the East Window.  I find a dusty old love poem of sorts, an ancient kneeler, and delight in the swooping swallows that gather about me.

Are you well?  Are you content?  Do rest in the safety and peace of my podcast which has now had nearly 20,000 downloads which is amazing.  I don’t suppose I can continue forever, but I certainly will until 17th February next year, the anniversary of my mother’s death.  

Thank you for your support and companionship.  Do let me know if you have any ideas for the podcast: who to interview; places to go; poems to read; dedications to make.  I’m just trying to create a warm and gentle place for the curious-minded, who want soothing companionship that involves learning new things and exploring new places.
