Oh …
I usually have the radio on, at this time of the morning.
Usually? Usually, you can guarantee I’ll be listening to Radio 4’s Today programme: as I am at the moment.
The Thought for the Day? Told us that the relics of Saint Thomas à Becket are being transported back from Hungary: to Canterbury Cathedral, the church where he was killed by Knights Templars on the apparent orders of the king. (The ‘Who will rid me of this troublesome priest’ incident, if you know your history.)
The reason that caught my attention?
Is the fact I grew up in Brentwood.
The major Anglican Church is Saint Thomas’s, and the town was on the pilgrimage route from the north, to Canterbury, the site of the saint’s veneration.
Amazing what you learn, growing up.
