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…

It’s Fiona’s turn to take the chair again this Sunday, when she joins June and Tina to talk about all things aromatic with guest Julie Payne of Naturally Tip to Toe…

A complementary therapist who specialises in stress reduction and bringing balance back into the lives of her clients, Julie will be explaining how aromatherapy uses the unique qualities of our sense of smell – which, amazingly, is 20,000 times more acute than our sense of taste – to create a powerful healing experience.

Tune in or listen online between 10am and 12 noon to find out just what aromatherapy is, where it comes from, how the oils are produced and how Julie uses them in the other treatments she offers too.

She’ll also be passing on some helpful hints and tips on the use of essential oils such as lavender and tea tree for health and around the home.

With Fiona sharing some of her own advice on how to stay happy and healthy this summer as well, there’ll be a definite feel-good factor on this week’s Girls Around Town!
