Links and Show notes

A long while ago (May last year) we recorded a podcast. However, due to various obstacles last year, it sat on my hard-drive for a long time before I had the time to look at it. Over the holiday period I decided to edit it, and put it up. Let us know if you enjoy it and if you have any feedback, as we may well do some more!

The sound quality and editing isn't excellent, and the content is a bit out of date (we talk about Father's Day coming up), so we're considering this a pilot of sorts.

      Thanks for posting - listening now!

      'Febreze for the nose' - very good!

      Entertaining but a bit long. Maybe break into 20 mins segments in the future?

      thanks for breezing by my boudoir for a sniff and a chuckle!

      Oh! Shoe Perfume!

      I spray Knize Ten in my boots because I love the leather smell when I take them off :-)

      Still laughing at the thought of A Thousand Lemons!
