Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

Wrest Park: after decades behind virtually closed doors, its treasures overgrown and practically lost, one of Britain's most important historic landscapes is restored. Lemon Sherbet and Dolly Blue: Lynn Knight talks about her book telling how three generations of her family were adopted. Her grandmother ran a corner shop at Wheeldon Mill in Derbyshire, and for the first half of the twentieth century, this - and its stock of sweets, laundry soap and bread - was at the heart of family life. And Women in Business: Woman's Hour is following three businesswomen this year as they try to expand their companies. Jo Pateman runs a pond cleaning and maintenance company based in Hertfordshire - called Women With Waders. Her mentor is Nikki King, the Managing Director of Isuzu Trucks UK Ltd. We hear how their latest session went. Presented by Jenni Murray.
