  • An excellent look at life in Leamington in very edible bite-size chunks.

    Tim has chosen an eclectic mix of features of Leamington that those of us who live here take for granted or walk past every day without noticing or realising. He takes a look behind-the-scenes to interview the people who make those things happen.

    Tim’s very personable manner and interview style, without being obsequious, draws out details and is very informative in an enjoyable way.

    Keep up the good work Tim.
