Listener mail is warmly welcomed 🙋♀️
Hallo dear friends and thank you for joining me. To celebrate 100 episodes in a few days’ time I would like to send a card to my four prized subscribers and one of you will receive the little battered copy of Under The Greenwood Tree that has been much used and loved by me over the years. If anyone else subscribes between now and episode 100 you will also receive a card if you wish, but won’t be eligible to win the book. At episode 150 - should this little podcast and indeed I still exist - I will do something similar. So (to the 4 subscribers) if you would like to DM me either your address or the address or a local shop or post office, I will pop something in the post second class on Friday. With best wishes to you all and thank you for your kindness and support.

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. We’ve reached over 80,000 downloads.
Don’t try to listen in order, unless you’re very committed. Dip in and out, choosing an episode based on the title information. Whether you are interested in history, literature, poetry or one-to-one chatting, I try to give you something that will interest you. This is a podcast for the curious, the kind and - possibly - the suffering or lonely.
Historian Tom Holland is the Honorary Patron of this podcast. Thank you Tom🙏
Gretel invites you to accompany her as she navigates the world a day at a time; the podcast is unscripted, it’s ad-free.
Gretel loves the world and history, architecture, literature and people. And so is determined to walk this path with light footsteps and with humour and warmth. Let’s gather up the beautiful things and ponder them in our hearts.
