The end of an era - After almost a century we said goodbye this morning to our great companion of the airwaves Radio 4 198 LW. I shall miss her warmth and crackle. Here’s the final sign off at the end of #theshippingforecast before she fell silent… ❤️

Catching up on #BBC #Radio4 comedy shows. Thoroughly enjoyed #ImSorryIHaventAClue episodes, hearing #GaryDelaney & #HarryEnfield on there for the first time, and being really impressed with both #PippaEvans & #MilesJupp singing (lovely voices!!) & @marcusbrig.bsky.social rapping #TheShippingForecast

Listening to the day-long tribute to #TheShippingForecast on BBC Radio 4 and can’t help keep thinking of my poem ‘The Species Forecast’ which, after three years of trying, was commended in the Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty sub-section of The Gingko Prize.

Programmes about #TheShippingForecast yesterday on @bbcradio4.bsky.social in the UK reminded me to read one of Maria Adolfsson’s #Doggerland crime novels again. She has imagined a real contemporary island on Dogger Bank and I love her flawed hero, Karen. Next 3 translated please!

Listening to the 100 year celebration of #TheShippingForecast on @bbcradio4.bsky.social and I'm left wondering if there are any sailors out there getting confused by so many archive forecasts?
