8.48am It's the end of ten gruelling, 16-hour research days when we
test drive the resident editor's final draft and double-check all entries.
Janice, my assistant editor, and I are knackered and fresh out of outfits.
The day starts with a pow-wow over double espressos at Fioraio Bianchi Caffè
(Via Montebello 7, 00 39 02 2901 4390), an Arcadian cottage favoured by
scruffy stylistas and the ladies who latte.

was finding the old hulk of the Queen Mary, somewhere in the docklands of
Long Beach.

SIDETRACKED opens with a burst of yellow. A teenage girl runs through a
rapeseed field in full bloom, glowing gold beneath a huge Scandinavian sky.
The serene scene, from the first of the BBC's adaptations of the hugely
successful Kurt Wallander novels, quickly takes a dark turn, but it's one
that flaunts the elemental beauty of Skåne province in southern Sweden.

Unfortunately, I am not sleeping in one. Instead, I'm in the woods a few
miles away, lying in the dark under a pile of dead leaves as a gale roars
through the treetops.
