Michael travels to Palestine again with Rachel, his wife.
Let's just say that it wasn't all plain sailing!

Welcome to a brand new podcast series all about my great-grandfather.
It’s based on a book he wrote, we lovingly called “The Diary of a Cabinetmaker”.
It’s a fascinating tale of the time, of how people lived, the trials and the tribulations.
More importantly, it’s a personal tale that I’ve tried to bring to life and I hope you enjoy this little piece of family history.
Follow this podcast now, wherever you normally listen to your podcasts, so you don’t miss an episode.
