October 21, 2022 S7 Ep4: LUSH life (with Mark and Simon Constantine)
Jane and Esther are joined by the founder of LUSH Mark Constantine and his son Simon Constantine, one time subject of his dad's cosmetic testing and now running the fabulous Carey's Secret Garden as well as special projects for LUSH.

There's talk inevitably of the joy of bath bombs, and how they were developed for a serious reason, as well as all the work LUSH does in terms of supporting action for change (for the better) and spearheading fantastic conservation projects. All with a liberal sprinkling of fun anecdotes along the way.

September 30, 2022 S7 Ep1: The Fabulous Arthur Parkinson
**NEW SEASON** Esther and Jane are back! Joined this week by expert flower arranger and chicken saviour Arthur Parkinson. After chat and lunch at Esther's, the gang take a stroll to the allotments to meet one of Esther's allotment friends who is indebted to Arthur for advice on how to grow the best dahlias. There's discussion about how imperfect gardens should be cherished, how Kate Moss gives the best gifts, and the girls are delighted to find out Arthur may be up for adoption...!

There's cake, disco balls in sheds and a fair few giggles, so settle in with a hot cup of something.
