A vast subject, and more an account of how the Mediterranean has influenced specific British artists, poets, writers etc than some shared imagination. The Mediterranean is loosely defined, and as there are so many specific instances it would be possible to argue that it's not the Med so much as Greece, or Italy, or Spain, or France, that has exerted its influence rather than an overall Mediterranean culture. Lovely title for a book though, and I'm not doing it justice in my summary. Freddie got his GCSE results yesterday, and did really well. He got the grades he needed to go on and do A Levels, including 9s in Maths and Geography, so he is happy. We offered him his choice of celebration, but all he wanted was a Chicken Katsu from Kokoro. . .
