Summary

Here in the UK, we’re striding into summer - we’ve just celebrated the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee where people were quaffing Pimm’s at street parties up and down the country and with Wimbledon just around the corner, an episode on Summer Fruits seemed the perfect way to add some extra garnish to your summer excitement. We’ll discover what barbarians and rhubarb have in common, why you should carry a basket as a third wheel on a date and what could make you a ‘top banana’. Susie and Gyles share stories of their favourite - and least favourite - deserts and with peachy keenness, Gyles shares a number of royal name drops. We’ll dive to the bottom of the sea to meet Davy Jones in our correspondence section before wrapping up with an excellent trio from susie (see below) and a beautiful poem from Gyles. A Somethin’ Else production.
