In Episode 16 Antonia and special guest Theodore Shack take ‘The Rolling English Road’ (by GK Chesterton) as they ramble through discussions of belonging and nationalism, John 6:1-15 and a place close to both of their feet – Arthur’s seat. Music: Fern Hill by William Fairhead, and if you want to hear an excellent rendition of Chesterton’s ‘The Rolling English Road’ set to music listen to Maddy Prior’s version. Florilegium is a programme on Radio Maria which seeks to weave together liturgy, literature and gardening in rambling, hopefully fruitful ways. It is written and presented by Kate Banks and Antonia Shack. About the Creators Antonia leads a patchwork life with jobs including but not limited to mother, book designer, editor, actor and teacher. She and Kate began discussing poetry, liturgy and gardening at the Willibrord Fellowship reading group in London and are delighted to be continuing these conversations on Radio Maria. Kate (currently on leave from Florilegium) is a teacher of Literature, Philosophy and Theology, with a particularly keen regard for the poet and artist David Jones around whom many of her studies and her teaching-subjects have been based. She also briefly worked as a gardener in London, though she now lives with her little boy on the river Exe in Devon.
