Life's What You Make it

It was used as a poison in ancient Rome but the nightshade family also includes potatoes, aubergines and tomatoes, and they could be making your arthritis worse! Trish and Val discuss how one small change made all the difference, wishing upon a falling star and the joys of travel.

Val and Trish talk about their rainy day funds, money in the mattress, rugby players' haircuts, star-gazing and the joy of travelling and helping fellow travellers - whether they want your helpful singing or not.

This week Valerie and Trish talk about the importance of trying things out and the joy of creativity from amateur drama and painting to rap and power of Denise Chaiula as a performer. Best jobs ever, getting out of a rut and watching rugby are also on the menu, and they discover a shared love of a good raffle!

In their opening conversation, Trish and Valerie chat about spider bites, taking control of your own health, woodpeckers and ice-swimming, and using anger to drive positive change in your life.
