And all these bonus onions are simmered very gently with a steaming sauce of sweet gorgeous music.
The first of 3 bonus collections of 'Onions' - original 100 word stories written especially for the show. These are new stories are from our listeners who live beyond our local area, across our global community, in Indonesia, where 'Bawang Bombay' simply means 'Onions'. And all these bonus onions are cooked with a joyous sauce of hot gorgeous music.
