Felicity Finch

This week, we’re serenaded by seals, or possibly sirens, off the rocks of the Farne Islands, and find ourselves in the shadow of a glacier in the Nepalese mountains. Faith also features with a trip to Lourdes to meet some pilgrims to the shrine, and as the Contains Strong Language spoken word festival returns to Salford for its tenth anniversary, Len Pennie provides words of comfort, whilst an Archers fan finds comfort in the rolling fields of Ambridge.
