No trip to London is complete without a BM trip. Mrs Ball can wax lyrical about the Parthenon Sculptures and the Exekias Achilles and Penthesilea vase for hours. Fortunately for our students there are time constraints.

Starting a podcast ("Instant Classics") with Charlotte Higgins at the end of August. One thing we'll be doing (there are plenty others) is reading & discussing the Odyssey over several months. Here's why we chose that tinyurl.com/kfds9tkr
