The Eastern Regional Library Show

Library staff member Lesley Conway runs a radio show each Wednesday 12:05pm-12:45pm on Eastern FM 98.1 called The Eastern Regional Library Show. Tune in next Wednesday for a great show.

On Wednesday's show

Now don't panic, but it is only four and a half weeks to Christmas. You may share the opinions of Grumpy Old Men and Grumpy Old Women and feel inclined to say 'bah humbug'. If you have enjoyed the TV series of the Old Grumpies, then you might enjoy Grumpy Old Women at Christmas and Grumpy Old Men at Christmas on dvd.

On the other hand, if you look forward to stirring the sixpences into the Christmas pudding, then don't hesitate to browse your library shelves. Lyn Baines described last week how she enjoys cooking Delia Smith's cake and pudding from Delia Smith's Christmas, and today I delved inside the book to discover a wonderful range of delicious food described in very clear recipes which would inspire even the tired and harrassed cook, including vegetarian recipes which would be very helpful in my family, canapes and nibbles, supper dishes and leftovers, and more.

Finally, to get you in the mood, don't forget the Christmas music. We played a very New York martini bar version of Sleigh Ride from When my heart finds Christmas by Harry Connick Jr.

Oh, I must not forget that we played a track from a new Carly Simon CD Into White which is full of lovely versions of old favourites such as Blackbird, You are my sunshine, and Scarborough Fair.

We've just received another couple of recordings of the radio show. We're editing it at present and I'll upload it next week to Twango and add it to the sidebar.
