But she’s more than happy to let them eat cake (even if it is chocolate) since she’ll be indulging in another of the Girls Around Town‘s passions, albeit only talking about it!

Joining June shortly after 11am will be Clare Lees from Vintage Darling Events, with news of something special taking place on Sunday 28 June.

With clothing, memorabilia, furniture, crafts and jewellery all on sale, the Radcliffe Vintage Fair is a must if, like the girls, you love shopping.

There’ll be a rock ‘n’ roll DJ, hair and beauty makeovers and children’s entertainment too – and Elsie the Vintage Caravan will be putting in an appearance to serve up scrumptious cream teas…

Tune in from 10am to 1pm on Saturday or listen online to find out more. And look out for the girls in Radcliffe a week on Sunday, chances are they won’t be able to resist a visit!
