This episode we have Summer, my little sister and Dad's third daughter, joining us for a chat.

As Dad puts it Summer has the attention span of a Goldfish, so naturally the conversation goes off on a few… tangents. We chat about a bit of everything, music, parenting, starting a new chapter as Summer gets ready to move on to secondary school, and, of course, a surprisingly lengthy conversation about cheese.

It’s one of those episodes where we didn’t really know where the conversation was going to go, but that’s kind of the point of Monkey & Me. Just three of us, a cup of tea (Juice for Summer) and a chat that somehow manages to covers a bit of everything! Enjoy.

In this episode, we look back at the advice we’d give our younger selves, share honest thoughts on the highs and challenges of step parenting, and reflect on the lessons life has taught us along the way. Expect plenty of laughs, a few heartfelt moments, and the usual unfiltered conversation over a cup of tea.

This week we’re back with another father-and-daughter chat, and this one goes in all sorts of unexpected directions! Dad shares the story of climbing Ben Nevis, we look back at how different school discipline was compared with today (including a horrific yet somehow humorous headteacher story), swap a few light hearted confessions, and reminisce about Dad getting up to mischief, It’s another cosy conversation full of laughter, nostalgia, and the kind of stories that somehow get funnier every time they’re told.
