I like to listen to Melvyn Bragg’s radio show “In Our Time” if I’m in the car, and Melvyn’s weekly email drops into my inbox afterwards [probably typed on his Somethingberry in St James' Park] .
The latest discussion brought together a really interesting group to talk about – Nothing. A fascinating subject! In his email Bragg (who is a good friend of his local church in Wigton) writes:
