It’s never too (choco)late!

Posted on by

National Chocolate Week may have come and gone for another year (it ended on Sunday 9 October) but that’s not going to stop June, Tina and Sue re-visiting their all-time favourite subject next weekend…

On the show back in April to talk about the Melton Mowbray Cheese Festival, Matthew O’Callaghan dropped a few hints about another event already in the pipeline. It’s been in the Girls Around Town‘s diaries ever since and on Sunday he’ll be on the phone again with all the details…

Some of the UK’s top chocolatiers will be joining forces on Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 November for ChocFest, a national celebration of all things chocolate. And with puddings to pancakes, biscuits to beer and cakes to kebabs just a few of the things to try and buy over the weekend, there’s no doubt that chocoholics from far and wide will be making their way to Melton next month!

The chocolate theme continues in the second hour of the show, when Lisa Holloway drops into the studio to share one of her favourite recipes.

She’ll be talking too about her decision to relinquish her role as the owner of Compton House and the plans she has for the future now she’s no longer busy providing a warm welcome – and delicious breakfasts! – for visitors to Newark’s much-loved B&B…

Tune in or listen online from 10am to 12 noon to find out what’s in store for visitors to Melton Mowbray in four weeks’ time and for Lisa in the weeks and months to come.

And watch this space for Lisa’s recipe which will be online shortly after the show!

Meet the new girl around town

If you’re a regular listener, you’ll probably remember hearing Rosalyn Palmer on the show back in June, sharing some of the highlights of her varied life with Tina and Sue.

And you’ll no doubt know that homepath Fiona Theokritoff has been been part of the Girls Around Town team July 2016…

After two more slots – on Sunday 10 September and Sunday 8 October – Fiona will be handing over the reins as the show’s wellbeing guru to Rosalyn, who makes her first appearance on the other side of the desk on Sunday 5 November.

Although relatively new to Newark, she’s already built up a wide network of contacts in and around the town. So she’ll be drawing on some of these – and on her own experience and training as a clinical hypnotherapist,  a Rapid Transformational Therapist and a Maris Peer Master Therapist – to bring more experts from the world of wellbeing to your Sunday morning listening.

Watch this space for news of her first guests – in the meantime, from June, Tina and Sue a warm welcome to Rosalyn, the  ‘new girl around town’ and a big thank you to Fiona for being a valued member of the team since last summer…
