Good evening dear friends, old and new. This is more of an audio-journal than a podcast, so do bear that in mind and refrain, if at all possible, from giving me a low rating, which grieves me much 😓. I have no team, money or equipment and I’d be so grateful if you’d take that into account. And if you’ve not yet rated this, I’d be overjoyed if you could take the time to give me a nice rating. Thank you so much 🌞
What are you up to this Tuesday? How are you this early August week? How caught up are you in the horror of international events? Are you suffering or grieving? Struggling with the bleak moments that creep up on us all? Do share with me and I promise to reply, either privately or an episode, if you give me permission. Do share any photos or thoughts on what I’ve said. And do correct me when I’m wrong; or let me what’s annoying.
Best wishes

Hallo
This is not my usual type of episode so do skip if you prefer the quiet readings. The noisy cricket lasts for ten minutes, followed by thoughts and readings about the Cerne Giant. Please forgive my poor performance - a bit tired today.
Very warm wishes to you all.

Hello dear friends and newcomers, welcome to my daily voice-note to you 🤗
Today I finish my Cerne Abbas pilgrimage with a wander around what remains of the monastery.
At the moment, I earn £34 a month from this ridiculously amateur endeavour, which is no doubt all I deserve, but it would be wonderful to increase that a little, so if you are able to, do feel free to become a subscriber. The perks of which are the odd (about thrice a year) package of random things sent to you as a thank you. The next one will go out in time for the Thanksgiving and Christmas season. Remember you can just do it for a short while or give one-off amounts.

Thank you so much to my current subscribers and to all who have given me such good ratings and kind reviews. I know this can’t compare to a properly produced podcast, but I do give you my (rather inept) all.

I’m also excited to announce that Art Historian and generally wonderful human being Philip Mould has agreed to join us for an episode in September. He co-presents the marvellous and very long-running series Fake or Fortune.

Best wishes and do email me with any feedback, thoughts or ideas.
