I need to work out what to say in these description spaces. I’m talking, from a rather lonely and worried place, to you, another hooman. And trying to connect and unspool a little, ending with a meditative walk through Bede’s gentle words about our world hundreds of years ago.

So I tried to be fancy by uploading an apt song to the start but couldn’t work out how to do it just for one episode without also only having the end music for just one episode. So for today only I think every episode starts and ends with music. 🎵

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 a...

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 🌳🌞

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.
