On this morning's programme - sorry, 'show' - the 'Holiday Classic' story involved a narrow boat becoming jammed in a French canal lock while Butterworth's 'Banks of Green Willow' was playing on a cassette recorder on the deck of the boat. Shortly afterwards, Martin Hanley referred to the last movement of Mendelssohn's violin concerto as 'sounding as though it poured straight out of the composer without touching the sides'. Possibly subconscious, but an amusing link.
However, I shall be back with Radio 4 for the start of 'Today' tomorrow - 'Breakfast' is simply the least worst option at that time of day on a Sunday.
