Hello, and welcome to the weekend,
This week in iweekend we have a look ahead at this autumn's food festivals across the UK, as well as 20 warming bottles of red to luxuriate in over the coming months.
As part of BookTrust's Time to Read campaign, we ask 10 famous authors to share the stories that inspired them as children.
In Culture, we ask whether Channel 4 is exploiting our worst instincts with its reality show The Circle, and hear from DJ Mark Radcliffe on the journey into music that helped him after he was diagnosed with cancer.
In Travel, we have 30 autumn breaks across the UK and a look behind the gates at John Lennon's childhood haunt Strawberry Field, while Simon Calder asks the age-old question: can train beat plane when it comes to travelling around Britain?
We also look at the clampdown on health tourism, the great 21st-century space race, and how the RNLI has benefited from last week's social media furore.
