Good evening and thank you for joining me for another boring books for bedtime.

I hope tonight's selection provides all the boredom your busy brain needs to quiet down

and let you get some sleep. Before we begin, I'd like to give a special shout out of thanks

to some new members of our Patreon family. Lynn, Sharon, Didi, Evan, and Riley. Thank you all so much for supporting this podcast. By becoming

And because you became members in the month of August,

you and everyone else who supports us through Patreon,

bedtime and being entered into that giveaway, you'll find links for Patreon and buy me a coffee.com in the show description.

Now, let's read and relax.

Find a comfortable spot.

Adjust your volume.

Take a nice, deep breath in.

Let it out slowly.

And off we go.

Tonight, let's relax with some more history as we return to Old Country Inns of England

by Henry P. Maskell and Edward W. Gregory, with illustrations by the authors, first published in 1911 by L.C. Page and Company, Boston.

Let's pick up right where we left off in the middle of Chapter 3 and the history of pilgrimage hospices.

Let's begin. Let's begin.
