Nice - for me Ngawi is that place. Though definitely not so twee and no bookshops, there is a great Food Truck and - for luxury - Anne's Abode.

That pooch looks amazing - dapper and so very trim - like something out of an ad in Wallpaper or Esquire.

Thank you for the shout out for my old bookshop. I was very fortunate to sell it to a friend, well, she was working for me, became a very good friend, then bought it from me when I told my staff I would be selling the shop and moving out of town. Are you originally from Australia? Slight accent there? Picked up something.

Oh! A mash-up of English vowels from childhood and a lifetime in NZ. But I get that a lot

That’s a very impressive one take wonder Leah. A bit like Adolescence. The wireless is better off for having you back on the airwaves!

Lovely! The Wairarapa is glad to have you. Le Crueset pepper grinders only get us so far. Happy you’re back on the radio, you’re a natural!

Bonus catch-up listen!

Enough silence to hear birdsong is the best kind.

Love this approach to Mother’s Day - time to yourself! (We had our Mother’s Day back in March in the UK, but I agree with your sentiments.)
