Gretel le Maître Ponders Beauty, with Bede & other guests

Gretel le Maître

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. It’s super unpolished and Gretel would be grateful for you to forgive her for

Send us a text Good 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 se...

Send us a text Dear 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 mys...

Send us a text Good evening and a very warm wishes to you this darkening Friday evening. Thank you for your support despite episodes that fail in part; such is the consequence of a daily podcast which means it’s more of a ‘blurt’ or ‘stream of consciousness’ with the aid of little-reconnoitred material. At some point do I move to one or two episodes a week, with each episode professionally presented, and prepared? It’s a thought. 💭 Now you may remember that I pro...

So I’ll publish this as it is and move on. There is an enormous amount of information online about this architectural and historic jewel, so please enjoy some moments of fascinating foraging online.
