I love the Patience Worth story. Fascinating stuff. Can’t wait to settle down with a cup of tea and listen.

Definitely a different kind of podcast. Possibly too much reading. I’m definitely struggling to get through “The Patience of Pearl” though… it’s a rough one. I hope I get through it before we move in two weeks, so that I can pack the book and be done. 🙂
