Hello! Welcome to today’s optimistic and peaceful edition of Podponderings with Gretel.  I read a Christmassy passage from Hardy’s Under the Greenwood Tree; read from Pepy’s diary from 4th December 1660 and take us to Northumbria in Bede’s historical record.  Do leave a review or rating on your podcast platform if you have the time.  I would be so chuffed if you could 😃.   Love Gretel xx<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2412300/open_sms"></a><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2412300/support">Support the show</a>Love Gretel 🌝

Gretel le Maître likes to look for the beauty and curiosities in life, one day at a time.  She shares with you snippets from books about history, art and literature and regularly takes you on adventures to new locations, to explore churches, cathedrals and architecture.  Gretel invites you to accompany her as she navigates the world a day at a time;  the podcast is unscripted, it’s ad-free, and you’re invited to join in.  There’s space in the warm tent for everyone; there’s tea in the pot 🫖.   It’s super unpolished and Gretel would be grateful for you to forgive...
