This episode is actually a little bit different because I have not one but two guests.

Vicky McClure and her husband Johnny Owen.

I first got to know them both when they travelled with Off The Map up to Swedish Lapland and Arctic Retreat.

But this summer we thought why not bring them back for their anniversary.
