I'm sitting in a private heated cabin on the 20th floor at 20 Stories in Manchester with a great view of the firework displays around the city. I may also be sipping pink fizz from Hampshire

A big shout out to our customer host in First on the 12.11 Sheffield to Manchester Piccadilly @TPExpressTrains @TPEassist . She was absolutely charming.

A very good local wine from Heraklion. A blend of Merlot and Kotsifali. It went very well with my slow cooked goat.

This was my last success in the Essential Classics Playlister. Over 5 months ago.
Ottorino Respighi visited the Butantan Institute outside Sao Paulo, Brazil. It's a famous snake garden and reptile research centre. He composed the piece Butantan after the visit, so could we hear that?

I love it when the Tories say they'll now do something they failed to do in 14 years in power. I don't know about you, but I really truly believe them this time

Child marriage is legal in more than 30 States in the USA. Three States, California, Mississippi and New Mexico, have no minimum age requirement. Nearly all of these marriages are young girls to much older adult men.
