Sarah Tucker takes a trip down under to Sydney’s winter and the annual drama that is the Vivid Festival.    Sydney becomes a living firework for three weeks during the Vivid Festival  www.vividsydney.com. due to celebrate its 12th anniversary in 2020.   Known for the best New Year fireworks in the world over Sydney bridge, the festival makes the most of its iconic Opera House and harbour to shower the skies and waters with light and music during the Autumn months of May and June, which is still usually brighter, warmer and dryer than the English early summer.    The opera house ‘sails’ are lit by Andrew Thomas Huang and ‘choreographed’ the wonderfully named Toogie Barcelo, where images and colours merge into others, trees become dragons, stars become street dancers all set on a large scale with the backdrop of the bridge on one side and tropical gardens on the other. The overall effect is like looking at something out of Bladerunner. Concerts boast performances as diverse as Herbie Hancock and The Cure to Und

Christy Lefteri's moving story of a couple tested to the limits of their love and sanity as casualties of the war in Syria was born of her experiences as the daughter of Cypriot refugees as well as helping Syrian and other refugees in Athens. Nuri and Afra live on the outskirts of Aleppo where Nuri tends his beehives and Afra is an artist; these are not political people and yet, the ravages of war are inescapable and their lives are decimated. Their journey to the UK and back to eachother is a testament to the hope that we all carry.  #RadioGorgeous #Authoroftheweek #Syria  www.bonnierzaffre.co.uk @christy_lefteri @ZaffreBooks #

Fair is foul, and foul is fair: Hover through the fog and filthy air. The opening lines of Macbeth could also set the scene in Bath for three adolescent girls bound or intent? on: "double toil and trouble!" Each of Kate Hamer's books (The Girl in the Red Coat & The Doll Funeral) starts with a strong image. Crushed, which takes place in crucible shaped Bath and its ancient bubbling, sulphurous core, snuck up on Kate, much like the angels climbing Bath Abbey but when it came, the central image was a body floating down the Avon. Three teenage girls, isolated and under pressure, come together one sultry summer. Power, obsession, need, naivety and self-absorption lead to disaster. After all, weren't the Furies once teenage girls?  @FaberBooks @kate_hamer www.katehamer.co.uk

Persistent rumours swirled around Anna of Kleve… Alison Weir introduces us to a fresh version of Henry VIII's fourth wife who is mostly famous for not living up to her flattering portrait.

She was a privileged yet powerless princess, did she also have hidden depths never before imagined?  #AuthorOfTheWeek #RadioGorgeous #Tudors  www.sixtudorqueens.co.uk @AlisonWierBooks @headlinepg

There is a beauty and symmetry to the streets of Charleston. The buildings and architecture are enchanting with their porches and the gardens, peeked at through the wrought iron gates, overpowering the senses with mimosa and honeysuckle, jasmine and roses. Like walking into an aromatherapy bath. There is a lot of Englishness in the gardens as many of the plants were taken direct from English and French gardens in Versailles, as the landowners liked to travel through Europe, emulating the lifestyle of the English and French aristocracy and taking with them not only the art and furnishings, but also the plants. The live oaks cast long shadows over the streets which somehow manage to allow brightly coloured four wheel drives and trucks to manoeuvre around horse power of a slower, four legged variety, allowing tourists to sample the historic streets at a slower pace. The people of Charleston talk slow and walk slow. Even in the high end Kings Road, which has the designer labels necking with home brands, every sec

It’s difficult not to think pink when you arrive at Village Castigno, Wine Hotel & Resort situated in the village of Assignan, in the Languedoc, just over half an hour’s drive from Beziers airport. Everything, from the walls of the buildings, the tables and chairs in the courtyard, the large umbrellas, the bed linen in the 24 rooms, to the plates and cups at breakfast, even the flowers and trees have been chosen it appears to bare only various shades of pink.  The hotel is a village within a village with a collection of buildings, a winery and three restaurants - one of which (La Table) is Michelin starred. There’s also a lounge room with its own pool. It reminded me of a pink version of Babington House in Somerset, one of the Soho House group of hotels, and it’s a growing trend to create French resort villages out of original villages. I remember visiting Crillon le Brave in Provence several years ago, when ironically a former partner of Soho House decided to create a collection of villas, restaurants
