Escape with a good book on BBC Sounds Like Yellowface by Rebecca F.

I play up our connection. My grief over her death becomes a cornerstone of my origin story.

Enlightenment by Sarah Perry.

Thomas examined the image of a stone woman stuck on the verges of the lake.

I suppose she's in the water now. What is she holding?

And Giovanni's room by James Baldwin.

Do you have a mistress? I asked him.

I don't seem to be very interested in women right now.

You're listening to Thursday's episode of The Archers from BBC Radio 4. Oh, it's lovely out here Lillian that rained everyone's garden the world of good. The roses look

set to keep flowering well into the autumn. Well I can't claim it's all my work. I like the odd

bit of pottering but I am not green-fingered. I haven't tackled that whole area

under the trees at all this it. I think these days the wild at your garden is the better

though I would say that I suppose. The rewilding woman of Ambridge. Is that what people call me?

Well maybe I should encourage them to start. And maybe I should start walking around

in hemp sucks, weaving a stick with a bird's nest in my hair.

Ha ha! So, well I think you might wear something a little more socially acceptable for manning the rewilding stand on Sunday.

Now I have a contact of mine coming, a wealthy boas such a horse owner who's the head of a family trust which gives out grants for environmental

projects.

Oh Lillian I told you I wouldn't be able to run the stall.

I've already committed to litter picking at the fate.
