Episode description

Five minutes of civilised calm, recorded in East London, as the capital starts to wake up. Sign up at https://marcsalmanac.substack.com

With a poem by WB Yeats, The Wild Swans at Coole.

"The trees are in their autumn beauty,

The woodland paths are dry..."

From the show:

Psalm 69:33

Hot Water by PG Wodehouse

On this day: 2nd November, 1996, the blues singer Eva Cassidy dies aged 33

2nd November was established as All Soul's Day a thousand years ago by Odilo of Cluny. A day to remember all those taken from us, and the talent of Nobby Stiles, Bobby Ball and Sir Sean Connery
