Ramblings

Radio 4, 3pm

Clare Balding, the tramping of

feet and the whipping sound

of wind against mackintosh is

one of the most delightful

things on the radio. A new

series starts today and she

opens in Londonderry to

meet the children’s author

and artist Oliver Jeffers, right.

As part of a free nationwide

arts project called Unboxed,

he has helped to create a

10km sculpture trail,

designed as a scale model of

the solar system. Explaining

his inspiration for the project,

he says: “If we could look

back at Earth from the

vastness of the solar system,

what would we feel? Wouldn’t

squabbles look stupid from

Saturn?” Ben Dowell
