Episode 294: Bromley Palace Park - Friends making it as glorious as it should be!
Darren Weale talks with Dawn from the Friends of Bromley Palace Park about how the Friends are progressing their great work of making the historic parkland in  the centre of Bromley a valuable place for people, flora and fauna alike. Recorded in May at Bromley's Pedro Lounge, this is a reminder of just what good determined volunteers can achieve, even if the foxes, frogs, newts, tawny owls, random egg-laying ducks and resident heron Henry are unaware of the efforts made on their behalf. Dawn uses the words 'abundance of' twice to describe how well several species are doing, which is a delight for the volunteers and visitors to the park, young and old alike.   We are spreading the love!

Episode 287: Feline Good - Paws Cat Cafe, Tonbridge
Zeenat Noorani talks with Lauren at the Paws Cat Café in Tonbridge.   Just as when we went beyond Bromley to focus on the lovely Hemsley Conservation Centre (episode here), we have again gone to a fascinating place within a reasonable distance of our borough.    While Hemsley has Geoffroy's Cats, Lauren's cat cafe has 15 rescue cats in what is definitely 'not your usual coffee shop'. While it certainly has cats, coffee, cake and connection.    We are spreading the love! Do listen in and share the Buzz.
