Autumn treats – food, face and feet!

autumn

Although it seemed to be a long time coming, with a little luck there’ll still be chance to enjoy a few more days – or even weeks – of summer before the season of mellow mists and fruitfulness brings its own unique delights.

But the Girls Around Town are already looking ahead to autumn and, on this week’s show, Fiona be offering some timely hints and tips on how to get the most out of the new season.

Find out how to make the switch from summer salads to autumn fruit and vegetables – get the lowdown on healthy habits for youngsters starting a new school term –  and, if you fancy spoiling yourself, Fiona’s got that covered too (from top to toe!) with suggestions for a few treats for face and feet.

Tune in on listen online between 10am and 12 noon for a mellow Sunday morning with June and Fiona…

Counting down to cake week

bake off

Just a few hours to go until it’s time to get ready, set, bake!

Twelve new contestants will be donning their aprons, rolling up their sleeves and doing their best to impress the judges as The Great British Bake Off 2016 gets underway.

And with the focus on cakes tonight, it’s no surprise that June, Tina and Sue will be joining millions of viewers across the country glued to the TV to find out what this year’s amateur bakers will be facing.

Whose buns will come out on top? Will there be any soggy bottoms? And above all, will there be chocolate?!

Rumour has it that things don’t go too well for some of the contestants, with four of them forced to ditch their cakes and start their recipes from scratch in the showstopper challenge. It sounds as though there may be a few tears and tantrums in the Bake Off tent tonight…

On their own show this Sunday, the Girls Around Town will be turning the spotlight on the phenomenon that is GBBO. They’ll be making some early predictions about favourites for this year’s title and looking at some of the reasons why a massive 15 million viewers tuned in to see Nadiya Hussain take the 2015 title last October. What’s the betting Mr Hollywood features on their list?!

Join them on air or listen online between 10am and 12 noon – and why not take part in the debate by adding your own thoughts and comments to the GAT Facebook page?

Solving the people puzzle

Ever wondered why you connect immediately with some people and not with others? Why some groups or teams fall apart when you add just one new member?

If you want to learn how to read people in minutes rather than months, whether at work or in your personal life, tune in to this week’s show to hear what Deborah Wylie has to say about solving the people puzzle…

A licensed DISC trainer, coach and NLP practitioner, Deborah describes her business as ‘helping people work together better so they can enjoy delivering their vision’.

“We’re all a blend of personality styles, have different motivators and fears – we all operate differently at home, at work and under stress,”  she says. And on Sunday she’ll be explaining how to understand those differences and use them to develop better relationships quickly.

Join Deborah, June and Sue on air or listen online between 10am and 12 noon to find out how to get into the head of other personality types, what makes them tick and how to use the science behind personality to communicate more effectively and get your message across.
