We’re back with season 4 &amp; I couldn’t be more thrilled to be kicking it off with the wonderful Briony May Williams. A proud Bristolian, it was so lovely to be able to film here in Bristol too. As she came in I was greeted with her homemade lemon drizzle cake which tells you everything about the energy Briony brings with her!You may know Briony from watching The Great British Bake Off series 9 where she was a semi-finalist &amp; for her TV presenting on: Escape to the Country, Morning Live! and The Travel Show to name a few. She also co-hosts a parenting podcast I&apos;m Not Judging, But... with two of her best friends, Charlie &amp; Vix. Last year she launched a recipe book with twists on retro recipes, The Retro Recipe Society. She also has an instagram page - @gloriouslysober sharing advice &amp; support as well as the joys of not drinking having not drunk alcohol for over two years. What you may not know about Briony is the mugs telling the story of her life so far, from playgroup, to teaching, to Bake Off &amp; everything in-between. We also get right into the nitty gritty: the importance of mug choice &amp; the mug cupboard structure to protect the most precious ones!Here are the mugs talked about, if you’d like to follow along: 1.
