Apple Podcasts5Oliveoil59United Kingdom8 months ago - A warming fireside companion
I’ve been listening now for over a year and Catherine couldn’t have said it better in a time of disconnection, everyone in their own bubble this podcast is a rare chance to look up and around and hear about the wonderful world we live in. Loved the recent Audley End one and the two families enthusing about love and connection, it’s the simple stuff that holds us together. Thankyou Catherine and the team you do a brilliant job (loved the fireside chat idea over Xmas)
