The Shipping Forecast

After my rant about Network Rail yesterday we are back to the more sedate subject of Robbie's reading matter. Robbie and I had quite a lot of adjustments to make when we decided to marry. I accepted his Dr Martens, his trains and his music. He had to accept wall to wall Radio 4. At first he teased me about it, but after a while he was addicted too, and now he listens to everything from the Archers to the Shipping Forecast. In fact he became fascinated by the magic of the Shipping Forecast and he wanted to know more about the place names that were recited in the daily forecast. A couple of weeks ago he bought himself a book called Journey Around the Shipping Forecast. You know what that means don't you? It means that Robbie will read a whole book with no trains - just a lot of seagulls!
