A friend told me about this new show that has been aired on YouTube for the past few weeks, so my young and glamorous assistant Jake put the telly on in the office and we all sat there watching Girl Talk Algarve. I’ve always wondered what ladies natter about over lunch or on the phone. I catch snippets of one end of conversations my beloved has with her chums – the cackling laughter can be heard throughout the house. She says it’s private but oh how I’d love to be a fly on the wall!

Watching these ladies is funny, sad, informative and about 20 minutes of escapism from this troubled old world we currently live in. Lesley, Dawn and Eva are friends on a mission to make us all laugh but also to address issues which probably touch us all in one form or another. I was particularly impressed with the latest episode where the ladies talked about alcohol addiction with a guest appearance by a wonderful lady who opened up about her own journey with alcohol.

Lesley, Dawn and Eva have contrasting backgrounds which complement the discussions and bring their own perspectives. The subjects they discuss are pertinent to everyday life as it affects them individually. They don’t attempt to find the solution to the problems of the world but rather to tackle what matters to their audience. Incorporating everything from how you feel about your children leaving home to spicing up your sex-life with your partner of 30 years plus is no mean feat!

As an ancient male of the species, I am now a subscriber to this brilliant show, Girl Talk Algarve. And, more importantly, I feel I now have the tiniest insight into the insanely complex life of a menopausal woman!
