  1. What a fantastic, illuminating and fun episode – I loved the ‘interview’ format, and you all had a great rapport :)

    I have made careful notes, and will try and find a desert island (expect my suggestion for choice of plant in the post :D)

  2. We loved meeting Emma and her husband Pete, and had a wonderful time recording the interview – we laughed a lot and felt very relaxed and at home.

    We feel blessed to be included in Emma’s incredible blog and we are looking forward to gifting the winners of our competition a copy of our book.

    xoxo Shannon & Mary
