In this week’s edition:
We find out what’s been happening at Beacon with the latest update from Helen and Muhammed.
There’s all the latest news from across the Black Country, including an update of significant changes to some local bus routes and services across the region.
From Bilbo, Frodo and Kinver Edge, to the tale of Malcolm the Emu, there's plenty of fantasy, fiction and fascination to be had too.
Get ready to ‘chill out’ and test your knowledge, as we have a seasonal Ice-cream Did You Know feature with Roger and Quiz with Meena. Will you ‘melt under the pressure’— or ‘just sprinkle in your best answers, to scoop up the most points!’
That’s enough ‘waffle’ - it’s sure been weather for ice cream and frozen desserts to help cool us down- is it set to continue? Or is the region set to see its first significant, and much needed, spell of rainfall for over a month! We hear from Meena who has the outlook for the week ahead.
And with thanks to TNF soundings contributor Jan and the gardening experts at MK Pulse magazine, we have all the hints and tips in the garden for July.
