Radio. I have a radio in every room except the bathroom. Generally, BBC Radio 4, sometimes BBC 6 Music or Radio 2 and if I can’t sleep in the earlier hours of the morning BBC World Service. Generally R4 though.

It’s the soundtrack to my day. I wake up to Today, adore In Our Time, am always learning something new from Crossing Continents, From Our Own Correspondent and other programmes to various to mention. Sunday morning is most often spent catching up with The Archers.

So today I’m thankful for the invention of the radio and the creation of the BBC. Along with the NHS, the BBC really is something I feel patriotic about!
