Gaze not on Swans
Gaze not on swans in whose soft breast
A full hatcht beauty seems to nest,
Nor snow which falling from the sky,
Hovers in its virginity.
Gaze not on roses though new... more

- A Gentle England
The accidental visitor to Gretel’s podcast would be excused for wondering what is going on. If that same accidental visitor happens to have a cup of tea and decides to stay they will hear an eclectic mix of unashamedly England-centred readings, an England that is gentle, friendly and self-effacing,

United Kingdom24 days ago - A peaceful island of calm in the midst of life’s chaotic waters
Gretel’s podcast has become something rather special: she shares her daily inner conversation with us, musing on life, art history and just about anything with simple honesty and complete authenticity. It feels like talking to a friend which in these days of home working and Zoom calls is a rarity.
I first spotted her photos on Twitter and found her podcast through those, and am so glad I did. She reads passages of books I should have read years ago but never quite managed to, visits buildings... more
Apple Podcasts5aldo356United Kingdoma month ago - A podcast to unwind to
I’m so glad I happened across this podcast. It is a delightful mixture of sounds of Dorset & other tranquil places, saints, readings from Bede, Pepys, Churchill, & personal musings on life & grief. There are many thoughtful moments & it is the perfect accompaniment to a quiet early morning cup of coffee or evening hot cocoa. I look forward to listening to it & listen most days, sometimes twice.

This unpretentious and quiet podcast helps me unwind and put the world in perspective. I don’t have time to listen every day but it’s nice to know it’s there every day, like a regular in the pub that you are glad to see.
