## Resource

It's the last day of the good ship Fi and Eve. They're sailing away. Well, Fi is. She's off on her holidays. There'll be no podcast tomorrow, but Jane is back on Monday. Today, Fi and Eve chat breathable summer shoes, whether high arches are born or made, well-stocked bedside tables, and how to boot someone out of book club... Plus, Varsha Gohil, who spent almost a quarter of a century fighting to prove her former husband had concealed his wealth in one of the longest-running divorce disputes in British legal history, joins Fi.
