The Latest News

As we approach the end of term, I suspect and hope that we are all daring to contemplate the possibility of a blissful and reenergising summer break. With that in mind, I offer you two lists. The first is a summer playlist with contributions from those who are 18 to those who are in the second half of their personal century. Maybe one or two of these will make it onto your summer playlist, too?

Location group

Brazil - Declan McKenna

Budapest - George Ezra

Texas Hold 'Em - Beyonce

 

Eclectic group

Pink and White - Frank Ocean

17 Going Under - Sam Fender

Tek It - Cafune

 

Vintage group

Every Breath You Take - The Police

Summer of 69 - Bryan Adams

Dancing Queen - Abba

 

Kate's set

Flowers - Miley Cyrus

Strangers - Kenya Grace

Birds of a Feather - Billie Eilish

 

Next, some novels for those of you
who like to immerse yourselves in a
good read whilst on holiday - these
are some of my personal favourites
and may not be for everyone, all
female authors and published in the
last couple of years:

• Blue Sisters - Coco Mellors

• Great Circle - Maggie Shipstead

• Intermezzo - Sally Rooney

• Lessons in Chemistry - Bonnie
  Garmus

• The Glassmaker - Tracy
  Chevalier

and for those who like a book to dip
into and that is perhaps, a little more
erudite, A Memoir of My Former Self
- Hilary Mantel.
