Allison Nye is an amazing woman who contributes much of her time to improving the lives of many people - single mothers especially. The reason? Well, she knows how tough it can be raise kids on your own. She had a really tough start in life but has come through it all empowered - not embittered.

This week we’re doing a little bit of time travel – back to 15th Century Italy. Here in Castlemaine we are lucky to have an art historian - Dr. Dugald McLellan - who has spent many years studying Renaissance art, living in Umbria and in the process not only has he become an authority in this area – but also an astute observer of provincial Italian life and food.
