Hello from Suffolk, England. Here's five minutes of civilised calm from the English countryside to start your day right. With a poem about Alcuin of York by Siegfried Sassoon.
"At peace in my tall-windowed Wiltshire room,
(Birds overheard from chill March twilight's close)
I read, translated, Alcuin's verse..."
From the show:
Tom Holland on St Cuthbert from St Bartholomew the Great
