Of Valentines, Ancestry and My Mate Liz Carr
Feb 11, 2022 Episode 3

It's episode three, I go in deep with Valentines, reading poems by Hardy and Baudelaire. And me!

My secret passion this month is Family Trees. Every single person has a story in their ancestry. I hope you like mine - a love story between George and Hannah in the early 1800s, my wild and crazy distant ancestors.

Even this episodes ghost story, set at the atmospheric ruin of Hastings Castle, has tragic love as its theme. [TRIGGER WARNING suicide mentioned].

And, drum roll, it's a revisit to the chat around Valentine's mush with the unmistakable and inimitable Liz Carr. She says, on celebrating Valentine's and love, "It's the tiniest things that mean the most - like holding hands with [my wife] Jo."

And I agree. Because disabled people often know more than most, what is truly precious.
