Anna Richardson and Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen have all the info on Channel 4鈥檚 new version of the iconic 鈥90s and 鈥00s home-DIY series Changing Rooms. The show sees two sets of homeowners from the same neighbourhood work against the clock to renovate a room in each other鈥檚 houses and will be packed full of design and DIY hints and tips, teaching us how to be crafty on a budget by upscaling and adding sparkle to unloved or outdated corners of our homes.

Plus it鈥檚 The Why Workshop, and Zoe quizzes the QI Elves with more wonders and ponders, including your questions.

Along with Adam Porter on news, Richie Anderson on travel and Hugh Ferris on sport, Zoe and the team have the best start to your morning. With celeb guests, quizzes, headlines, tunes chosen by listeners and more music that you can shake a glitterball at!

Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

I know that I鈥檝e mentioned in the last two weeks that I鈥檝e just got married but if you鈥檒l indulge me for one last time there is one thing about our wedding that I want to share 鈥 and it鈥檚 got something to do with abandoning yourself to love.

We had decided on several things which would make the ceremony surprising and unique but some things, like Judithcoming down the aisle to a lovely piece by Handel, were kinda traditional.听听Well, blow me, but did the minister not start the service by announcing 鈥淟adies and gentlemen - a slight change to the printed order of service, and instead, I give you鈥he bride!鈥澨鼵ue a guitar playing and鈥udith singing Mama Cass鈥檚 鈥業t鈥檚 Getting Better,鈥 one of 鈥榦ur songs.鈥櫶

And so she processed down the aisle, microphone in hand, singing this wonderful love song to me.听听I turned round and gazed on this amazing woman doing this amazing thing and as we looked at each other, that was it - she could barely hold it together, I could barely hold it together, all our family and friends could barely hold it together鈥.even the cake was in tiers!听听(really, I should have resisted that one鈥)

That was the start of our wedding. That was the start of our married life.听听I was, and am still, so moved and thrilled 鈥 and that鈥檚 what can happen when you abandon yourself to someone鈥檚 love. You get bowled over, you get something wonderful!

Now, as ever, I鈥檓 making the rather short leap to what I believe about God鈥檚 love. What happens if I abandon myself to what God thinks is a great way to do life鈥hat happens if I forgive people, what happens if I give my money away, what happens if I stop being so self-centred, and selfish, and proud.听听What would it be like if I turned the other cheek, or volunteered my time for a charity, what would happen if I prayed, lived a simpler lifestyle, got agitated about the planet, encouraged others, did random acts of kindness and loved people, really loved them鈥

Well, I guess I know the answer to all of that: I鈥檇 get all choked up, filled with love, and I鈥檇 start singing, 鈥淚t鈥檚 getting better鈥!
