Here I am on the Tyne and Wear Metro, that fantastic example of public transport that can take you out to the East Coast and back in the twinkle of a Geordie eye.

My wife and I are staying in Newcastle and we’ve had a lovely day by the sea, wandering into the unforgiving breeze in Tynemouth, and taking shelter from the drizzle in Whitley Bay. Not that the weather bothered us, to be honest: the air was as fresh as could be, and any stroll in the fresh air is a good thing. We had some marvellous fish and chips in Whitley Bay and then got the rattly and quite warm Metro back.

‘It suits you’, I imagined his wife saying; ‘You look just like that handsome Ian McMillan.’ You’re right: I have a vivid imagination. Many years ago, on a stopping train from Saxmundham to Ipswich in Suffolk, I left a book on a train. The carriage was probably rattly and warm and my eyes probably grew heavy. Again, I’ve left books on trains before but, like the hat, this was a favourite: It was the selected poems of a fantastic poet called Sujata Bhatt.
