  • A Month in the Country and Half a Dozen books tonight. Settle down and close your eyes 🤓
    Send us a textGood evening, sorry a super-late episode today.  After dedicating a whole episode to the delightful P Mould yesterday, I wanted to catch up on all our readings.  I know we’ve taken on a lot, but it means there is hopefully something there for you.  It’s all jolly ad hoc but I can’t think of anything worse than a fixed recording routine.  Thank you to my lovely new subscriber Alison.  It means the WORLD to me.  So kind.  🙋‍♀️🌷Rest well and see you tomorrow xSupport the showTop 10 in Global Rankings according to Listen Notes.

  • Hardy’s Overlooking the River Stour; St Gregory gives Augustine advice; Pepys’ shows good Character; and Where are St Thomas’s Bones?
    Send us a textDear friends, thank you for your company and support.  Nothing is asked of you with this half-baked endeavour than your company.  Be patient with me regarding the amateur production and please don’t rate me with a one or two, though think it you might.  I share with you this evening Dorset sounds, Hardy’s words, Mr Katt’s mischief, Janina Ramirez’s writings on St Gregory, Jerome K Jerome’s Three Men in a Boat (and Montmorency of course), Samuel Pepys and the mystery of Thomas Becket’s bones.  And lots of rain with a little choral music in the background.  Come join me in my warm,  candle-lit shelter. 🦔 Support the showTop 10 in Global Rankings according to Listen Notes.
