4. For the love of music

On the Session this week I chatted to New Order and Joy Division legend Peter Hook.

5. The Frog & Wicket

If you were given a kit to design your own traditional English pub, you couldn’t come up with much better than The Frog & Wicket.

6. Shahi India

As we are being urged more and more to buy local produce from local shops (if you can find any), perhaps we should be reminded occasionally to support our local restaurants as well.

7. Beefed up

I haven't been to a Beefeater for years but after an evening at Rackstraw Farm, I realise that was an oversight.

8. Dance star’s final sparkle

The death of long-legged movie legend Cyd Charisse at the age of 86 brings to an end a whole era of dance.

9. Waiting for Godwits

Newbury’s Godwits are touring the festival circuit this summer, including the prestigious Great Escape and Latitude, but you can see them free in Reading, along with Smoke Fairies and Farewell Finito on Sunday, July 13.

10. Punishments make great entertainment

I know that Big Brother’s started again this week – unbelievably, it’s the ninth series and the premise is wearing thinner than the average pop group – but there’s plenty of decent TV around if you’re keen to avoid Channel 4’s collection of attention-seeking folk cooped up in a house for a few months.
