Producing today's episode has been an exercise in time management.  How do you get everything done when you have a billion things on, and during the Rugby World Cup? #dilemma

My guest this episode is my old friend Lucy Anderson, from Wellington, New Zealand.  We chat about expat life here in the UK, the Kiwi attitude of tackling whatever may come your way, such as moving countries, language and accent comprehension, finding good coffee, and some of the challenges faced in Lucy's job as assistant company manager at English National Opera (evacuating Kelsey Grammer out of the Coliseum avoiding the paparazzi, anyone?)
