Amanda Prowse and Penny Dommett nattering around the kitchen table, chatting about all things random. Today we touch on Penny's butter habit - she over butters her toast to the extreme and even has tips on how to butter with a butter pat - it's a good life hack! Mandy is tired today - a little bit tired and in her tired state, makes a bit of an email gaff - Ooops! And for the first time ever - Penny loved all the names in Mandy's novel - yay for Swimming To Lundy! Penny talks gardening, of course she does and gives tips for bulb planting - she's a clever bunny and is already planning for spring. We talk about what happens when a book comes out - how it all works. And is there still a place for hardbacks in this world? Mandy tells all about one disappointed attendee at her talk who thought she had actually swam to Lundy... The joy of leaving books in hotel libraries and passing on the love. Penny talks her boy and The Masked Singer with a sneak peek into the process - so exciting! We think the standard of Bake Off this year is very high - don't you? We talk weight loss strategy, all about balance and is breakfast three times a day a winner? We have the usual dog chit chat - yes, they do like to join in. Have we all seen The Perfect Couple - Penny and Mandy rave about it! Wow, we loved it! And a couple of other what to watch recommends.
So, if you fancy it, pull up a chair and join us for a delightfully irreverent chit chat about life and all its random tangents - bring a cuppa. Cake optional...

Amanda Prowse and Penny Dommett nattering around the kitchen table, chatting about all things random. The usual dog interruptions and laughter as we talk about Pen's recent holiday to somewhere fabulous! (although she's happy to be back to be near her mate! And she's now moaning about the weather - what's new!) That lovely burst of joy when you arrive on holiday and it feels like an eternity and then you blink and you're home again! Finally, Pen and Mandy find they have something in common - they both hate surprises, even when Pen was whisked off to New York - how awful! We also both sweat the small stuff and is one of the best parts of a holiday looking forward to it? We go into great detail about Rob getting his finger stuck in a fire engine - well we've all done that right? Mandy has been chit chatting at literary festivals and loving it! The beauty of a name and Mandy's desire to decorate the moment the leaves fall - i'm thinking of colour drenching every room! The joy of having pants that fit and we discuss our autumn wardrobe - and of course, Penny's advice on garden jobs for right now...

Amanda Prowse and Penny Dommett nattering around the kitchen table, chatting about all things random. Our lack of medical knowledge is on full display - where are your kidneys and your lungs? I don't think they are where we are pointing! Similarly we are hopeless at all things geography related... We talk about Mandy's love of Bradford and Saltaire - well worth a visit! Trying to persuade Penny to leave the postcode. And when should we worry about being forgetful - just a natural part of ageing or something to worry about? We worry anyway...
Is Alzheimers more prevalent now? Or were we just not aware of it when we younger? We look at the road we walk between doing what's good for us and making ourselves happy - BALANCE!
Penny's dislike of winter and how Mandy loves it - they say opposites attract. The value of being social and how it can stave off loneliness and the shame of loneliness that Mandy sometimes feels. The importance of online communities and how we can feel supported just by a single message, it really is wonderful when you find your tribe. Penny gives us more lovely gardening advice - get outside! Mandy is totally on board with the happy pants movement. ...all we need to do now is sort out our brassieres.
