Bringing you up to date with all the local news from The 10Parishes.

This week’s show presented by Pauline Homeshaw & Andrew Norris

Repeats Monday 4pm, Tuesday 10am and Wednesday 5am

1.   “Tales from the Kitchen”  Eve Stucki, coordinator for the new Wivey Pantry, will tell us how it’s all going in the busy run up to Christmas

   2  “Christmas at the Pottery” Nicola Werner’s atmospheric pottery in Fitzhead is the seasonal setting for her Christmas Sale.  We can visit the pottery on                 Friday 13^th and Saturday 14^th December from 10am and solve all our Christmas present problems! 

    3       Hearing loss is on the increase but many people fail to get their hearing tested and suffer an impaired quality of life as a consequence.  We talk to Sonam Sehemby, an audiologist and Head of training at Specsavers as to why this is the case and how poor hearing can affect every aspect of our lives including whether we can function at work or not.  

    4   Wellington in Bloom is celebrated its 40^th Birthday in a newly published pictorial book and today Darren Hill, Open Spaces Manager for Wellington Council and Isabel Ward, long time Chair of the In Bloom committee tell listeners a little of the long history of this lovely local project

   5          How good are you at talking about money – especially to children?  Well, a recent survey suggests that a third of parents actively avoid it and so we talk to Tayo Oguntonade, TV Presenter and Finance Expert Helen McGinty, Head of Financial Advice at Skipton Building Society, as to some of the reasons why.
