    Ronald Blythe - an intimate little story from Bottengoms

    This is the story of the late British writer Ronald Blythe CBE, or more precisely what linked me to him. To me, he was simply Ronnie. It is an intimate little story, spanning over the last 6 years of his life, when he was retired from public life. It is about his garden, the old brick floor of his house, his gentleness, his cat, his memories and above all, it is about our friendship. This story is the result of my conversations with Ronnie.

The airing cupboard

Storytelling podcasts have always been my favorite, and the airing cupboard holds a special place in my heart. Zoe Brown’s voice is soft and lovely, and the stories are simply yet beautifully told. The words chosen are always exactly the right ones. Every episode finds the specialness and connections and magic in everyday lives, and even though many move me to tears, I’m always left uplifted. Storytelling at its very best.

Jack in a box

I’ve been touched by Zoe now and my life will never be the same. Having my story told by her led me to understand ME better than I could have without the connection. She’s magical in her storytelling and magical in her inquiry. Thank you love for being part of my life’s journey!!
