LIFE LESSONS: "Don't leave your keys near the front door..."
What is a bowl if it's got a lid? Is it still a bowl? Just one of the ideas to be discussed on this very episode. The focus this week is home security after a postman made a bold offering to one of the DL's...JOIN THE WITTERING WHITEHALLS FOR THEIR BARELY (A)LIVE TOUR: https://thewitteringwhitehalls.co.uk/You can email your questions, thoughts or problems to TheWitteringWhitehalls@gmail.comOr, per
DAMs, Thames Swimming & The Wittering Whitehalls, The Musical!
Could we ever, in this lifetime, see a musical incarnation of The Wittering Whitehalls? A DL asks exactly that question.

LIFE LESSONS: "Waste not, want not."
The DL's are nothing if not resourceful. This week, a DL shares an invention called 'dust of the garden'.

LIFE LESSONS: "There's always another restaurant..."
Just a friendly piece of advice not to listen to this episode whilst you're eating! DL Phillippa has a horror story from a restaurant in Rome which had come highly recommended, but didn't live up to the hype!

LIFE LESSONS: "You can't be good at everything."
When the DL's have a cracking story to tell, The Wittering Whitehalls are all ears. This week, "Mrs Chips" (it's possible this is a pseudonym!) has a hilarious tale from her stint on the school camp, as a dedicated teacher of 7-9 year olds... Not an easy task!

Keepsakes, Wading In & Churchill Books
DL Kody describes some previous advice from Mrs Whitehall as "wading in, handbag first" in this episode. What a delightful turn of phrase! Plus, a lovely idea for childhood keepsakes and can Mr Whitehall possibly recommend just ONE book about Sir Winston Churchill?JOIN THE WITTERING WHITEHALLS FOR THEIR BARELY (A)LIVE TOUR: https://thewitteringwhitehalls.co.uk/You can email your questions, thought
LIFE LESSONS: "Violence is not the answer."
No violence, please. We're all better than that.
