Now I’m putting the sad stuff behind me—and after a decade in the wilderness I reckon I've got a lot of catching up to do! In this new column I'll be covering current affairs, culture, gossip and events in the UK from plays to concerts to marches to poetry readings, feminist salons and literary death matches, new bar and restaurant openings; I’ll be ranting about things which get my goat—from the Nigella furore to the royal bump, to the British obsession with the weather, to why skyscrapers are taking over London; I'll be out and about, drinking cocktails at the top of the Shard, and taking the temperature of the capital. Join me every fortnight, right here, for the view from London...
