We’ve taken Raymond on a trip to Nottinghamshire to the beautiful town of Retford to meet the fabulous Reverend Kate Bottley! Kate is a Church of England vicar - as well as being a journalist, broadcast and TV star.
The Bottleys are big dog lovers - they’ve had a succession of rescue greyhounds, but they’ve recently adopted a wonderful puppy called Tony (who has a very fitting namesake…) Kate tells us all about the unexpected joy of adopting a ‘dog dog’ and how he’s been settling into his new life.
Kate told us all about how she grew up in a non-religious family - and then how a teenage crush led to her discovering religion… She also tells us about being a show off, why she loves graveyards and why she’ll always pick up a ‘karma poo’.
