Observations
Can hide an Easter egg inside a gale warning without the gale noticing.

Her back catalogue has leaked into the shipping forecast on Radio 4. Lyon, Fastnet and Dogger now arrive with a chorus. Taylor is in a Lyon kitchen with a lino floor, a guitar and a borrowed radio, trying to coax the songs back out.

Trawlermen along the coast now wait up for the late bulletin and sing along in the wheelhouse. Harbour masters report that the tide tables have acquired a bridge, and several boats have been seen turning round at the key change.

Found so far are a friendship bracelet tied to a buoy off Portland, a scarf folded into the Viking sea area chart, and the number thirteen written in the visibility column.

Guidance for the public

Keep a radio on, and please do not hum along during gale warnings.
