This podcast is sponsored by Pet Plan who are the UK's number one pet insurer.

I've always used Pet Plan for Raymond as they cover things other insurers don't

and they can even pay your vet directly, which can be a big help. No Raymond that doesn't mean you can spend

all the extra cash on treats. Terms, conditions and excesses apply. Pet plan is a

trading name of Allian's Insurance PLC.

Daisy... What's Daisy doing, which is her?

She's complaining.

Is she tired already?

She wants David, which is why she keeps looking over her shoulder.

Come on, Daisy she that bond.

And she's so used to getting her own way.

But now you've tempted her with the blandishments.

This week I travel to Northampton

to go out with pop star-turned priest Reverend Richard Coles. I remember Richard

really well from his days in the communeards so I was fascinated to hear how he's

made that unlikely career transition and I also wanted to meet his five

dachshans. Five but we just took one of them out for a walk the adorable Daisy.

Richard as you're here is is utterly fascinating. He's an incredibly bright and

interesting and funny man, but he's also been through some tough times and emerged

from it with a lot of wisdom. You can catch Richard regularly on Radio 4's Saturday live and he's

written some brilliant books as well. I actually really recommend his two autobiographies,

fathomless riches and bringing in the sheaves which you can get on Amazon.
