A happy (belated) birthday to Percy Bysshe Shelley, Horsham's famous past resident!

Here's a link back to our chat with Carol and David from Shelley Memorial Project earlier this year where we heard about the romantic poet, his life and plans to build a lasting memorial to him in the area where he lived

Congratulations to Restaurant Interlude which has been named AA Restaurant with Rooms of the Year – England 2025.

The award, announced as part of the 29th annual AA B&B Awards, honours standout establishments that deliver exceptional service, unforgettable dining and accommodation with true character and charm.

Restaurant Interlude is said to have "impressed inspectors with its ten individually designed bedrooms and immersive multi-course ‘estate experience’ menu, crafted by Executive Chef Jean Delport"

📢NEW EPISODE

Are you a bit of a hoarder, finding it hard to let go of things in your home, even if they are taking up precious space, or are you a more of a Marie Kondo and have things bagged up and labelled for the charity shop as soon as they no longer 'spark joy'?

Whichever camp you're in, you should listen to our episode where we speak to professional declutterer and organiser Katie Wellman.

As Katie says, we work hard to have nice homes, yet often are so busy that spaces become cluttered and disorganised so we can't enjoy them as we should.

Katie shares some top organisation tips for listeners and discusses her work distributing the bits her clients don't want to those in need.

We also discuss Anna's relocation to Norway 😢(update to follow)
