Good evening, how are you? A very warm welcome to newcomers or old comers; to regulars or to drop-ins. I’m here every day so that you’ve always got a place to go if you need some comfort and companionship. Let do our bit to make larger the space in the world that protects people from unkindness, crassness and loneliness. It was so lovely to hear from dearest Barbara from Ohio - my oldest listener so far at 82. I particularly want to hear from you if you are living alone, experiencing grief or feeling isolated. I would love to hear from anyone - do you have a favourite poem you’d like me to read? A place you would like to tell me about that I can share with others?

And thank you so much to those who subscribe monthly - please stop after a few months as I know how irritating monthly payments are - all these small commitments add up. Just a little help or one off contributions are appreciated so that I can pop money in the collection boxes if the churches that I visit.

Thank you for joining me and I hope you are having a lovely weekend 😊

I am still missing my mother terribly, but take huge comfort from the world around me.

Lots of love 🌷🐑🫖🪿🌷🙋‍♀️ and email me at [email protected]

Love Gretel 🌝
