WOT's WRITING HOLIDAY

A Villanelle composed by the participants of Women On Tour's creative writing holiday who, inspired by the place and the Spanish red wine wrote this: In the hills the sun will shine while we slave and work and write and later on we’ll have some wine. Outside, the breeze brings scents of thyme and our writing takes to flight in the hills. The sun will shine and the shepherd’s bell will chime and the plain will flood with light and later on we’ll have some wine. We are looking for a sign and, even if it’s out of sight, in the hills the sun will shine as we write this line by line trusting end will come by night so later on we’ll have some wine, but in the meantime here’s our rhyme in this casa in the light in the hills, the sun will shine and, later on, we’ll have some wine.

I want to be in comfort so, five star is ok,’ I say. ‘Ok, I’ll call you back,’ she says. I spot a cafe by the entrance and sit outside. I get a çay . The tulip glass too hot to handle. The flies an intermittent pain. The heat is beginning to subside. The sun paints A...

BITE-SIZE LONDON

by Sally Wells Our City-savvy London girl, Sally Wells says... whether you’re just visiting , new in town or an old regular, don’t let London overwhelm you. The sheer enormity of London can feel intimidating, but if you centre your activities on any one day around a small, manageable part of it, you can keep a sense of perspective and realise that it’s just a series of villages, all with their own focal points and local inhabitants. For a cheering and car-free destination in the centre , I recommend the South Bank. There are so many moods along the way, from the Design Museum beyond Tower Bridge to the Festival Hall just behind Waterloo. Whatever the weather, in a sociable or a solitary mood, I find something along the South Bank of the river to satisfy me. If you look at an out-of-date guide book you won’t hear about it. Years ago it was a bleak and under-exploited part of town with few places of fun to attract the crowds; over the past decade I’ve watched it develop a really good sce...
