Following on from my recent discourse pouring scorn upon TS Eliot's view of April... he might actually have been right about it being "the cruellest month". After all, it was on 21 April of last year - that epic twelvemonth of celebrity demise - that the Grim Reaper paid a visit to prolific, dimunitive pop genius Prince. A bit-part player in the tracklisting of his massive hit album Parade was the song Sometimes it Snows in April. It might have been recorded way back in 1986, but three decades later it would prove eerily prophetic - although unlike, say, John Belushi, it wasn't 'snow' that gave the pint-sized warbler the ultimate chill, but painkillers.
However, 2016 is a thing quite literally of the past, so we can turn to happier implications of April's cheerful presence. Most importantly of course, the fact that dates are now set for a late-April PWF van service from the UK to the Alps and back again. The doughty PWF van will quit our Midlands base on 25 April. Its return northwards will begin on 02 May.
Whether it snows in April for you or not, may the month be a belter for you.
