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

From Wikipedia :
Bede (672/3 – 26 May 735), also known as Saint Bede and the Venerable Bede (Latin: Beda Venerabilis), was an English monk, author and scholar. He was one of the greatest teachers and writers during the Early Middle Ages, and his most famous work was Ecclesiastical History of the English People.

Tom Holland
Historian Tom Holland, national treasure, legend and all round Bon Œuf, has kindly agreed to be the Voluntary Patron of this ridiculously lame podcast. He knows a labour of love when he sees one. I couldn’t be more grateful.
