Babe, directed by Chris Noonan

That'll Do, original soundtrack by Nigel Westlake

(adaptation of Camille Saint Saëns' symphony no 3 in C minor, Op 78)

[worstjourney]

Radio 3 aired a whole hour+ programme of music and reading about and inspired by Antarctica.

If you call to mind an image of Antarctica, it is likely you will come up with something informed by the heroic but ultimately unsuccessful Endurance Expedition led by Sir Ernest Shackleton. That’s because the extraordinary photographs and film from that trip planted the so-called White Continent in our imaginations for ever. Shackleton, who was born in Ireland in February 1874 before moving to London as a boy, might be best known for that failed trip but the fact that his crew survived, when so many did not, is now seen as a credit to his exceptional leadership skills. Today’s Words and Music is a tribute to the frozen landscape that inspired the heroic age of exploration. It is not just remote - it contains the world's highest, driest, coldest and windiest places. And these days it’s a hub of scientific discovery, international diplomacy and environmental change too. We’ll hear fiction from Beryl Bainbridge to Edgar Allan Poe, poetry from Samuel Taylor Coleridge to Derek Mahon, memoir from Jenny Diski and Sara Wheeler as well David Attenborough, Maori scientists and other Polar Explorers. Alongside you’ll hear hugely varied music inspired by Antarctica from Vaughan Williams to Tanya Ekanayaka, from The Muppets to Nigel Westlake and Cab Calloway. Our readers are Jessica Turner and John Lightbody.

When You Taught me How to Dance!

When you taught me how to dance

When you taught me how to dance

Years ago with misty eyes

Every step and silent glance

Every move a sweet surprise

.

Someone must have taught you well

To beguile and to entrance

For that night you cast your spell

And you taught me how to dance

.

Light reflections in a lake

I recall what went before

As I give, I'll learn to take

And to be alone no more

.

Other lights may light my way

I may even find romance

But I won't forget that night

When you taught me how to dance

.

Cold winds blow

But on those hills you'll find me

And I know

You're walking right behind me

.

When you taught me how to dance

Years ago with misty eyes

Every step and silent glance

Every move a sweet surprise

.

Someone must have taught you well

Oh beguile and to entrance

For that night you cast your spell

And you taught me how to dance

And you taught me how to dance.

.

My Love,

I know who taught you to dance!

The same beautiful person who taught you to trust your heart.

Dancing is more that just a movement of the body and the feet.

I’m convinced it is the beautiful motion of trust in your heart and love and trust that resides in your soul!

Tell me now, who is the person who taught you to dance?

I am so happy you are living in my heart…and that you are poised to teach me how to dance.

I love you deeply Laura ❤️❤️❤️

A super-popular extract of guitar and orchestra music from Nigel Westlake, who, in turn, is from a distinguished Australian musical family. It has that 'new', luminous, open, thoroughly modern feel.

My Love,

I can still remember exactly when we danced for the first time. I can still feel the heat that rose in me, how my heart ached and how our souls got closer than ever. I knew that I had found my Soulmate. I felt it and was overwhelmed by this wonderful feeling. A moment that I will never forget in my life.

I love you deeply Adelle  ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Have you been thinking that you want a truly funny non-fiction book about an event removed from your daily life and from any sort of monumental history? Well I have the perfect title for you! It’s about the British invasion of Anguilla in 1969: Under an English Heaven by Donald E. Westlake. It is so salty towards the British government, and was published in 1972, so he was speaking to directly to people before memories got too clouded. You can get a sense of the tone from the back cover summary: “Life is real! Life is earnest!” said Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, but of course he had never been to Anguilla, a quiet Caribbean island so far off the beaten track it doesn't even run television commercials describing how isolated it is. But Longfellow isn't the only famous person never to have visited Anguilla in the nearly 400 years the island has been a British colony. Charles Dickens, William Gladstone, Twiggy, Lord Thomson of Fleet, and Anastasia are just a few of the great names of history who have never had anything to do with the place. Even Christopher Columbus, who originated the Caribbean cruise, passed Anguilla by. And yet, on March 19, 1969, this obscure island was invaded by Great Britain in a pre-dawn exercise involving over 300 paratroopers and Marines, plus two frigates, several helicopters and 50 London policemen. The invasion, under the code name Operation Sheepskin (which permitted a hostile MP to call Prime Minister Harold Wilson “a sheep in sheep's clothing”), secured the island with no resistance and no casualties, and was declared by the British to have been a famous victory. But was it? Donald E. Westlake, a comic novelist who had been content to invent his own absurdities, took a proprietary interest in the Anguillan affair, since he considered the British action in flagrant an unwarranted competition with his own comic fiction. After a study of the matter, he came to the conclusion that the actual winner of the Battle of Anguilla was Anguilla; only now are the British coming to understand the magnitude of their defeat.” But that’s not all! Here are some quotes from the text:

“After a summer as jam-packed with incident as Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe, the fall and winter of 1967 passed with placid serenity on the island of Anguilla, as free from action as a Saul Bellow novel.”

As Nigel Fisher said before leaving, "Our job is to try to find ways of reuniting Anguilla with St. Kitts.” Of course, immediately after that remark he also said, “We have no intention of being seen to be taking sides."

"What the Trinidad Guardian had in 1967 called “the most empty diplomatic threat in history” had now become a reality. Two months after British economic aid to Anguilla had stopped because of the end of the Interim Agreement, the British decided to stop all economic aid."
