Delighted as always to have the vivacious Sylvia Kent in the studio. I was treated not only to recommended reading but Sylvia brought in some home made ROCKY ROAD. One word… DELICIOUS! Another few words.. I scoff the lot in just under two minutes. Sharing? ROCKY ROAD? I DONT THINK SO!

Sylvia’s Recommendations for this month are:-
Corsets to Camouflage: Women and War – By Kate Adie
Review ‘an engrossing history, and far more than a sartorial survey’ (The Oldie ) ‘the paciest and most entertaining history book to come my way.’ (Ian McIntyre, The Times )
Sherlock and Holmes – by local writer Byran Lynch
Review Sherlock and Holmes – Journalist Danny Holmes is at his wits end, having just been fired by his editor when he takes pity on a clearly hungry dog. He
discovers that the dog, an English springer spaniel, apart from having a superiority complex has a unique ability – he can talk and he has ‘doguition’ –
a canine form of intuition. He explains that the name used by the last human he owned called him Sherlock and the pair set up their own detective agency
Sherlock and Holmes.
