BBC Radio 4 - In My Mind's Eye by Jan Morris, 5. The Siffleur

Jan Morris in her diary of thoughts covers a walk to lunch and climbing Snowdon.

Jan's diary of her thoughts include - the lost art of the Siffleur and ascending Mount Snowdon. Concluded by Janet Suzman.

In her published 'diary of my thoughts', Jan Morris, renowned author and traveller, covers much ground:

She recalls her late brother Gareth, a 'siffleur' of the highest order. 

Then ascending Mount Snowdon, Yr Wyddfa, one day. And then a chaotic yet comic walk to lunch on another day.

Concluded by Janet Suzman.

Abridged by Katrin Williams.

Producer:  Duncan Minshull
