Like the clouds above the moors, like her brother, father, sisters and friends, Emily understands perhaps that we human animals are creatures of ever shape and time-shifting forms.

Send us a text Good evening, I would be so honoured if you would join me for a long half an hour of gentle ponderings and readings, as we sit in a Dorset garden, and rejoice in the big skies and merry crows, while grieving the flight of the swifts to warmer lands. Let’s hope the fledglings survive, to return next year to the golden sheltered eaves of Sherborne School. Thank you to dear Bijan Omrani for permitting me to read from his stunning book ‘God is an Englishman’. Thank you...

Send us a text Good evening dear friends, old and new. This is more of an audio-journal than a podcast, so do bear that in mind and refrain, if at all possible, from giving me a low rating, which grieves me much 😓. I have no team, money or equipment and I’d be so grateful if you’d take that into account. And if you’ve not yet rated this, I’d be overjoyed if you could take the time to give me a nice rating. Thank you so much 🌞 What are you up to this Tuesday? How ...

Hello dear friends and newcomers, welcome to my daily voice-note to you 🤗 Today I finish my Cerne Abbas pilgrimage with a wander around what remains of the monastery. At the moment, I earn £34 a month from this ridiculously amateur endeavour, which is no doubt all I deserve, but it would be wonderful to increase that a little, so if you are able to, do feel free to become a subscriber. The perks of which are the odd (about thrice a year) package of random things sent to you as a thank ...
