Over on Cornflower Books we've had one or two posts about writers' dogs, so let's balance things up and look at the canine companions of well-known musicians here. When I was writing about Aldeburgh and Benjamin Britten yesterday I remembered this picture of him with his dachshund Clytie which I'd seen in the newspaper recently, and on looking for it online, I discovered this lovely post on composers' dogs - well worth a look to see who had which breed (Grieg shares my fondness for Labradors, for instance, and there's a link to a very touching story about Glenn Gould's closeness to his dogs).

Not to do with dogs ... but I just wanted to say that on Woman's Hour (BBC Radio 4) this morning there was a delightful piece by Jennifer Chevalier called The Clandestine Cake Club (3/4 of the way through). North Americans will recognize (and laugh at) her style of presentation!

I've just listened to it - many thanks, Barbara! Here's the link to that segment of the programme: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p014h7sd
