This week Ali is joined by Emily (of 'night' fame - not 'knight' as I said in the podcast and then forgot to explain!! Emily joined me to talk about the word 'night' in episode 29). Listen to the episode to find out why the word broad is close to Emily's heart, and to hear in (too much) detail about my new notebook.... also including more chat about broad beans than I was anticipating.

Ali and Jess are back after a slight break (we'll blame all the bank holidays!) discussing the word 'deep'.
Some things to clarify that we mentioned in the episode - I couldn't remember who the song 'How Deep is Your Love' was by but it of course was the Bee Gees (and covered, as I did remember, by Take That!), and the album I mentioned that I was listening to called 'In Deepest Blue' is by Joshua Hyslop - well worth a listen!

SPECIAL EXTRA EPISODE (In light of the passing of Queen Elizabeth II)
In this episode Ali is joined by Martha, and together they discuss the word CROWN.
References:
15.44 - Martha mentioned the hymn 'Crown him with Many Crowns' (Matthew Bridges, 1851). Here is verse 1:
"Crown him with many crowns,
the Lamb upon his throne.
Hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns
all music but its own.
Awake, my soul, and sing
of him who died for thee,
and hail him as thy matchless king
through all eternity."
16.44 - Ali quoted from the final hymn from the Queen's state funeral. Love Divine, All Loves Excelling (Charles Westley, 1747):
"Finish, then, thy new creation;true and spotless let us be.Let us see thy great salvationperfectly restored in thee.Changed from glory into glory,till in heav’n we take our place,till we cast our crowns before thee,lost in wonder, love and praise."
17.32 - We alluded to a verse from the Bible - Revelation 4:10 - where we get a picture of heaven, at the end of time, with people (specifically the symbolic '24 elders'), laying their crowns at Jesus' throne. This picture comes out in the song 'Love Divine', which we quoted, and which the Queen herself chose for her funeral.
Ali and Jess climb the thinking tree together once again, this time thinking about the word 'TABLE'.
Please do get in touch with us if you have any further, different or other thoughts about the word table, or any of the other words we have discussed so far this season! Also, please do email us with future word suggestions: thethinkingtreepodcast@gmail.com
