An everyday story of country folk
This is just for me really. I have woken up to the Today programme on Radio 4 for more years than I care to remember and usually it's a litany of gloom, doom and despondency, but occasionally they cover something more cheery. As I used to work in radio it had particular resonance for me to hear that one man has been creating his own radio soap opera for 40 years. He's written it, acted all the parts and done all the technical stuff entirely alone which is pretty amazing. Move over Ambridge, this is Acrebury!
(For the record I stopped listening to The Archers when they killed Nigel. It was a very freeing to end a 25 year habit!)
I also learnt on the Today programme this morning that it is the 100th anniversary of the poem Adlestrop by Edward Thomas. As it's the perfect poem for a warm June day here is his widow Helen reading it.
