This week Francesca pulls out one of her most loved books from the pile by her bed, which you may well have heard of, the Alchemist, it has been well-documented over the years. They discuss this book in relation to real life and Francesca shares her personal story from visiting the Shanty Towns in Peru and what dreams mean to people who live there. If you haven't picked up the book for a while, it's well worth dipping back in, or picking up a copy if you don't own one.

This week Francesca and Uncle Kevin are both feeling a little under the weather, not necessarily in the sick sense, although Francesca is recording from under her covers! She does share a brain wave as she recites a quote she read, the type of quote that makes you go 'ha ha' I got it now, that quote is, "pursue excellence and ignore success." The Buddhist saying is "Do the right thing and let go of the outcome." Are you are running just to stand still? If so, this week's podcast is for you.

This week uncle Kevin asks Fran what it was like getting married. Fran never thought she'd get married, but in her late 30's that all changed and she talk openly about her experience of planning for a wedding and what makes a marriage.
