Taking lemon drizzle cake to another level

Posted on by

When it comes to tasty treats, a luscious lemon drizzle cake is pretty hard to beat – or is it?

Well no, not if you give it a special Easter twist by adding a layer of marvellous marzipan to turn it into a Lemon Drizzle Simnel Traybake…

Which is exactly what Sue Jackson has been doing in the kitchen of The Magnolia Tree Cookery School just lately!

If you love marzipan as much as June does, the good news is that Sue will be on the phone to the studio again next weekend and, after the two of them have had a quick catch-up, she’ll be sharing the recipe with everyone listening in.

Make sure you’re tuned to 107.8FM or listening online from just after 11.10am to find out what Sue The Cook has been up to since she was last on the show, what’s in the pipeline for the coming weeks and months – and of course for all the information you’ll need if you want to celebrate Easter Sunday in style.

But don’t worry if you haven’t got pen and paper nearby to jot down the details there and then…

You’ll find everything you need to know here and on the Girls Around Town Facebook page shortly after the show, giving you plenty of time to gather the ingredients – including that all-important marzipan – ready to make teatime extra special on Sunday 4 March!

Put on your positive pants!

Don’t forget to put on your Sunday Best this weekend – from 10am to 12 noon, Girls Around Town will be back on air…

And just like June and guest Claire Clements, make sure you’ve got your positive pants on too!

It’s Mother’s Day this Sunday of course, so what could be more appropriate than a catch-up with someone whose business is all about pointing mums – and dads – in the right direction towards helping their kids feel empowered in a fun and creative way?

Claire will be on the phone to the studio from 11.10am with the latest news from Positively Empowered Kids, her award-winning network of dedicated and inspiring experts all working to support the next generation.

Top of the list no doubt will be the online Neurodiversity event for parents, which takes place on Zoom and Facebook from 7.30pm every evening between Monday 15 and Friday 19 March.

An opportunity to explore and learn new and different approaches to support and celebrate neurodiversity, this week-long event will be rounded off on Saturday 20 March by a day of workshops for both parents and children, together with a panel event featuring some of the amazing young people Claire and her group have connected with recently.

For more details of this and other upcoming activities with kids at the forefront, make sure you join June and Claire this weekend…

There’s a rumour going round that Claire will have news of a prestigious award too but you’ll need to tune in to 107.8FM or listen online to find out all about that!

Wake up to sleep!

If you snooze, you lose – right?

Wrong!! According to The Sleep Council at least, whose website is all about the importance of a good night’s kip and how it not only makes you healthier and happier but can even add years to your life…

A key element of course is having the right bed and, with next Sunday just a week into National Bed Month, you probably won’t be surprised to learn that’s precisely what June and guest Rosalyn Palmer will be chatting about in the second hour of the show.

Ros will be on the phone to the studio from just after 11.10am to share some of her own thoughts and expert advice about good sleeping habits, while June will be offering up a few statistics she’s come across recently…

Did you know, for example, that Cambridge, Brighton and Manchester top the list of the worst places in the UK to get a good night’s sleep?

Or that nodding off in your socks can increase the amount of REM sleep you get through the night, helping you remember things and process your emotions?!

Make sure you’re tuned in to 107.8FM or listening online from 10am to 12 noon for all this and more from June and Ros…

Sit back and relax – but whatever you do, don’t doze off or you’ll miss your favourite Sunday morning show, Girls Around Town!
