Tube, train and ferry. A weekend on the Isle of Wight for a family do, and I'm just reading about its mild climate. Well I'm sure that's true most of the time, just not yesterday or Saturday. Those beach walks were something else! Nothing was going to keep us from the sea and we could have done with the cafe being open but it was as closed as any shop ever has been. Barricaded is what it was. But a jolly time was had, scarves worn and prosecco drunk. And by the summer I might have worked off the lemon tart but I wouldn't bank on it.
A top Monday and a fine week on the way with Neil Gaiman, one of our great storytellers. He's written more than 30 books and graphic novels for adults and children and now he has Norse Mythology where he retells the stories which have been part of our fabric for an eternity. Odin, Thor, Loki and Freya ride again for another generation along with dwarves, frost giants, battle-maidens and shoes that fly. It's riveting stuff and Neil will tell all after 6. So MYTHS AND LEGENDS songs please. Strap on the breastplate of Zumba, take the rod of Pilates and you'll be about ready.
