What a fantastic interview. I’m 66 years old and honestly only have recollections of Ms. Clark as my mom would singingalong to Downtown throughout my earliest days.
What a fascinating life and seems sold down to earth. I wish her a blessed 93rd Birthday !
Thoroughly enjoy listening to G&H and their guests of all walks of life.
Life is difficult and stressful and listening to Rosebud is so soothing and gives me an escape for an hour. Thank you from Sydney Australia
I loved listening to you interview Monty Don! However Giles… I would love to hear all about YOUR life and for someone to ask you ALL those same questions…now that would be fascinating!
This podcast is a delight and just feels so gentle and kind on the soul when the rest of the world is in chaos . I was lucky enough to have had my email read out on the Julian Fellowes episode with the memories I experienced after listening to the Lesley Caron podcast
Keep up the good work as this is my ‘quiet corner’
