What a beautiful story. I closed my eyes as I listened and felt as though I was on the lawn nearby, eavesdropping. This Podcast is exactly what the weary folks of this old world need. I’m so glad I found it. You’re going to enjoy it too.

I love these podcasts! I look forward to them every week and they always provide at least 1 giggle. I too listen with my eyes closed as one review stated, with my morning coffee in hand. Mr. McCall-Smith is a gift to this world❤️
