Things we talked about today…

Roxy is baking cupcakes for the Alzheimer’s Society for Cupcake Day and thank to Visit York we have a stall in The Shambles Market between 11am and 1pm today. This morning Roxy’s Mum turned up with cupcakes as well as listeners Little Roxy and Nina to go with the cakes from the Principal York chefs.

With Father’s Day on Sunday we are doing Dad quizzes this week and today Ben asked his little boy “How old is Mummy?” as he forgot it was a Dad quiz! Nick answered 8 and said that Grandma and Roxy are both 18!!

The World Cup starts today and we played Alistair Griffin’s new World Cup song England Crazy and you can get it today on Spotify.
