Grab a cuppa, find a comfy chair and join Pauline and Kerry for another wonderfully bonkers wander around Herefordshire, where no conversation ever stays on track for very long!
This week we're chatting about everything from books and butterflies to brainboxes, black cherry ice cream and a mysterious midnight gardener who clearly has a passion for dahlias... and absolutely no appreciation for perfectly striped grass!

We're talking favourite books, childhood comics, unforgettable stories and the books that have made us laugh, cry and completely lose track of time.

Mint choc chip? Black cherry? Mr Whippy? Or are you still dreaming about the legendary Locks Garage ice creams?
We also hear about Oakchurch's delicious plans to create a special ice cream supporting Lee's Place... and now we're all craving a scoop or three!

We're off to Ross-on-Wye, chatting about butterflies, hummingbird moths, local quiz nights and discovering that Kerry isn't quite as keen on things flapping around her face as she is on Herefordshire!

Possibly our strangest mystery yet...
Someone has been secretly mowing grass in the middle of the night... planting unexpected dahlias... and causing absolute horticultural chaos in Peterstow!
Who are they?
Why are they doing it?
Should there be sandwiches on the stakeout?
We're on the case...
