Surviving COVID in The Falklands and the horror of Domestic Science lessons with Detective Constable Helen Taylor.

09/16/22 • 44 min

After growing up in Devon and a career in the MET Police, my guest travelled nearly 13,000km across the world to live and work in The Falklands Islands. What was it like to live, work (and eat) on this remote island during the COVID pandemic? Did school-days Domestic Science lessons help her survive? Or did a life of shift work and it's associated poor eating habits leave Detective Constable Helen Taylor playing 'chicken' to see who in the household was going to cook the next meal?
Michael and I then discuss and applaud the humble chickpea in Nugget of Knowledge and we also taste test some chickpea snacks... are they really an alternative to a bag of crisps?
Guest: Detective Constable Helen Taylor, Stanley, The Falkland Islands

Michelle Beck is the founder of the Taunton Independent Market which runs monthly in the town centre. After launching just days before COVID-19 hit the country, it has been a tough journey for Michelle, but persistence and a strong belief in the community's willingness to support local traders kept her going and the footfall for the 60 plus stall holders that visit the town each month is growing. Join me as we chat about fave foods, strange food habits, keto diets and how grandparents play a key role in our early relationship to food.

Bringing big name comedy to Somerset and sharing her journey to a healthier lifestyle; join me as I chat to Trish Caller of Genius PR and Events

Trish is THE NAME in Somerset for enticing comedy acts to visit the county and share their comedy genius. But laughter and mayhem have not always been her forte. Ten year's ago Trish was struggling with her weight and her mental health following her mother's passing and in this episode she talks to me about how mindfulness changed her approach to life and to the food she eats each day and is giving her the energy and enthusiasm to pursue and share her passion for comedy entertainment.
