Reverend Kate Bottley (Part One)

We’ve taken Raymond on a trip to Nottinghamshire to the beautiful town of Retford to meet the fabulous Reverend Kate Bottley! Kate is a Church of England vicar - as well as being a journalist, broadcast and TV star.  The Bottleys are big dog lovers - they’ve had a succession of rescue greyhounds, but they’ve recently adopted a wonderful puppy called Tony (who has a very fitting namesake…) Kate tells us all about the unexpected joy of adopting a ‘dog dog’ and how he’s been settling into his new life.  Kate told us all about how she grew up in a non-religious family - and then how a teenage crush led to her discovering religion… She also tells us about being a show off, why she loves graveyards and why she’ll always pick up a ‘karma poo’.  Follow @revkatebottley on Instagram  You can buy your copy of Kate’s book Have A Little Faith: Life lessons on love, death and how lasagne always helps - here! You can listen to Kate on Good Morning Sunday - on BBC Radio 2 every Sunday from 6am!  Follow Emily:  Instagram - @emilyrebeccadean X - @divine_miss_em Walking The Dog is produced by Faye Lawrence Music: Rich Jarman  Artwork: Alice Ludlam Photography: Karla Gowlett  Hosted on Acast.
