Gretel Pod-Ponders Life and Loss with Bede and other guests

Gretel le Maître

Gretel le Maitre is an ordinary, curious lady who is about to lose her Mother.
For the first time in her life Gretel feels such overwhelming Sadness and Dread that she wants to Talk. She’d like to do this with Bede, the venerable one. She certainly can’t do it alone and Bede, after all, means prayer.
There is a BUT! 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. 🌞
Please follow me on X @leshuguenots. 🌳

Dear kind folk. I awoke to hear of my mother taking a poorly turn so I dashed to London, sans Bede and sans (😬) change of clothes.. BUT Sir Walter Scott sidled up to me and whispered again a poem of hillocks, trees, leaves and glen. So stop with me a while, and hear his words, and rest your guile.
Thank you for joining me 🌷
ERROR: I say he wrote Marmion December 1806 but it was November. Apologies.
