Hello thank you for joining me as we leap forward apace into 2025. The moon is already a waxing gibbous, St Valentine’s is around the corner, and Bede talks at us rather with another Wulfhere and Ecgfrith.  It’s cold in England and I am pining for the streets of London as I’ve been cooped up in hospital with my poor ailing mother.  She is so vulnerable with me now and I’ve been doing the sorts of things we hope we’ll never have to do, but when faced with them, we just get on with the job, with tender hearts and with pity.   And what a wonderful word: pity.  I’ve bought too many books again this evening, but there are worst naughtinesses 😁 A very good and restful night to you and thank you for your company 🫖<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

Good evening let’s ponder about London, hospitals and losing track in Bede’s narrative

Podcaster (on Alby)

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...
