S4 Ep2 - ‘Hang it in the Louvre’ An everlasting love of mugs, memories & a famous mug cupboard with Emma Conway

Trigger Warning: Medical procedure - discussion of Emma's experience with an ablation for Supra Ventricular Tachycardia (SVT) 14.53 - 19.30 I got to chat to potentially the queen of mugs herself, Emma Conway (@brummymummyof2 ) in her lovely kitchen . Emma is well known for her love of mugs; particularly for THE annual Halloween mug switchover in her seasonal mug display cupboard.  For now, it’s in an awkward time of year; ‘we're currently in a phase I don’t really like, which is just mugs’.  We talk about how Emma’s mugs hold so many memories from trips they’ve been on as a family, to her favourite TV shows. If you’ve been looking for an episode, that really gets to the crux of the joy & feeling of cosiness that mugs can bring, then look no further.  When we’re not chatting about mugs, we’re talking about when Emma became a Mumsnet employee for the day to meet Gary Barlow, how perimenopause made her feel like she was going crazy & how she switched to decaf due to a birth defect that found her differentiating ‘pond’ like decaf to the good ones. Here are the mugs talked about, if you’d like to follow along:  Disney World Mickey waffles mug (A mug tragedy 💔) Disney World Enchanted Tiki Room mug  Gilmore Girls Luke's Diner giant mug (gift from a friend) Rae Dunn Winnie the Pooh mug Some of her quick fire favourites: ✨Disney films: Enchanted & Tangled  ☕️🍪 Dream pairing: Costa Terry’s chocolate orange hot chocolate & cinnamon bun (ideally Disney World Gaston’s Tavern cinnamon roll) 📺TV Show: Any reality TV (Real Housewives, Summerhouse)  🍿🎬 5 minutes in Blockbuster to pick four films: Titanic, Twilight, Practical Magic, Beaches  🏝️ Desert island people: Gary Barlow, Louis Theroux, Ewan McGregor, Beyoncé, Gemma Collins, Sarah Jessica Parker Available on all platforms to listen (Spotify/Apple) or watch (Spotify/YouTube).
