This morning’s delightful interaction with a driver: “I hope you die you c***”
I was cycling on this road 👇 He didn’t think I should be there and was absolutely spitting. Why do people get so angry?! (It wasn’t this busy - there were very few cars there at 8.15 this morning)

Once these are sold, that's it – there probably won't be another print run. So please get in touch if you'd like a copy, either for you or the cyclist in your life.

I've been thinking a lot about my book Eat Sleep Cycle lately. It's the reason I met @timcyclesthecoast.bsky.social. It's about my 10-week odyssey around the coast of Britain, which Tim read, then did the journey himself. We became firm friends after that unique and life-changing shared experience.

It's now pretty much out of print. I've just ordered what will probably be its last ever print run, because it's not worth the publisher's while to keep it in the warehouse. So it will live in my dad's garage!

A belated thank you to everyone who came to the events in Bristol and Edinburgh for Tim. It was really meaningful to share the story of our LEJOG ride in memory of @timcyclesthecoast.bsky.social who we tragically lost earlier this year.

Two summers ago I crossed paths with a boat called the Phyllis May on the Thames. Once I’d moored up I jumped on my bike and caught up with it downriver, and had a chat with the owners at the lock. By coincidence I was reading Narrow Dog at the time. It wasn’t the same boat, but a replacement after…
Narrowdog to Carcassonne by Terry Darlington. This has personal resonance with me because I have cycled/sailed a lot of the waterways he talks about, including the Channel (tho not on my own narrowboat - are you mad?)
Took 3 attempts to read but loved it. Unusual style of writing. Wonderful poetry.

I'm currently in Glasgow where the poetry and romance of Scotland has caught me. Can't help but reminisce about past trips.
I started writing a book in 2021 and have never finished it. Perhaps one day I will. In the meantime, I'm publishing the chapters (the finished ones) on my website.
Here's the next one: the story of when I cycled the Three Peaks with my brother-in-law.

Book #6: Lessons in Chemistry, pictured where I finished it: on the train home from Malaga.
Really fun, once I got over the outrageous tragedy the author subjects our heroine to near the start! I enjoyed it so much I read the ending multiple times and thought of little else for days afterwards.

Just been catching the last gasp of summer with a trip (by rail of course) to Malaga. I thought I’d said goodbye to my summer clothes but it was 30 degrees in Malaga! The best part of rail travel is that this was also a holiday in Barcelona, Madrid and Girona 🇪🇸

Book no.5: Zero Altitude by Helen Coffey. I started it ages ago and finally read to the heart-warming end. This one’s a personal one for me: a travel writer I persuaded to quit flying with the @flightfreeuk.bsky.social challenge. Fabulous read from a wonderful travel writer - quite proud really.

I’m sure I’m not the only person who makes a NY resolution to read more. Failing miserably at the one-per-month aim - only four so far! But I have quite a few half-started, so I could still make it…
Fourth book so far this year: Still Life by Sarah Winman. After a slow start I was absolutely captivated by the story and the writing. Makes me want to go to Florence at once! (by train of course).

Tim was an absolute top bloke. Wise, funny, clever, passionate, and a bit silly. He was also extremely open and honest about his struggles. His story resonated with so many people. It's so important to speak about mental health, if only to help others.
