Hello, thank you for joining me.  Do let me know who you are and if you would like me to say hello.  From time to time I want to reward my subscribers so to celebrate the 100th episode I will be sending the battered old copy of Under the Greenwood Tree to one of my three subscribers to thank them.  On a daily basis I turn down requests from advertisers to keep this modest endeavour an ad-free zone, so having subscribers is a welcome contribution to my tea and cake kitty.  At episode 150 I will be giving away another old - pocket-sized - book.  Wishing you a very happy Wednesday evening.<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 Ponders Life’s Beauty and Curiosities with Bede and other guests

Love, not embarrassment, for one’s roots; Dick Dewy and Fancy Day get ready for their pretty marriage; and more wisdom from Ireland

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...
