Show Notes
In Our World This Week, we’re keeping it cool as we emerge from a record-breaking heatwave on the canal. From "sleeping in a plastic bag" (our mattress protector is to blame!) to the joys of slow living when temperatures soar, we’re unpacking life on the water and finding the silver linings. Whether we're debating the proper way to serve a cream tea or discussing our gardening heroes, it’s all about living in the moment. Melt with us for a chat in the summer heat!
