The

The Welcome back to Nomad podcast. I'm Tim Nash and this is Joy Brooks.

Hi.

A beloved listener wasn't expecting that, were they?

For those who rest their weary heads in the listener lounge, many people would be familiar with Joy.

A wise, trusted, therapeutic, witty voice in the listener lounge. Does that sound like you? On a really good day,

I guess. And of course, listeners may remember you from one of Nomad's greatest hits,

Jemima Joy and Jezebel. You entitled that episode, didn't you? Great title. Welcome back to Nomad

podcast, Joy. Thank you, Tim. Um, how are you? Yeah, I'm pretty good. Thank you.

Your hometown, Lester, has been possibly the worst hit city in the UK for coronavirus, hasn't it?

So you haven't, um, this is probably one of the first times you've actually ventured out of Lester, I'd imagine, isn't it? Well, we've ventured out of Lester, but yeah, we've had restrictions.

I think we had two weeks where we were in line with the rest of the country when we were allowed

out.

And then after that, it was a big old local lockdown, couldn't leave the city.

We can now leave the city.

We're just not meant to mix with any other households,

socialise with friends or family in any other setting unless it's outdoors, but not in our

gardens. So, yeah, I often get the impression that you feel a bit jealous when I describe our

restrictions to. Yeah. I have to let people into my house now.

So it must be quite nice coming to Nottingham, the spiritual home of Nomeau podcast.

It's a real treat.

Yeah.
