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.

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.

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 treasure up the beautiful things and ponder them in our hearts.

Your daily dose of calm. Unpolished and unscripted but no ads and no requests for anything but your company. Trying to make the world a gentler place with literature, history and nature. Please don’t expect to find a polished product. The output is lower tier but the authenticity is hopefully as good as it gets. 🦔


Love Gretel 🌝
