Hello,
This week I’m welcoming the return of the swifts to my street, we hear which single cookbook our listeners would take with them on an imagined getaway and the Moomins make another unexpected appearance.

Plus of course there’s my latest little tip for a ‘Mini-break’ - something delicious you can do each week to escape momentarily, no matter where you are. Audiobook fans take heed. And listener Annabel transports us to a magical landscape of Swiss bliss.
