Thank you Phil Bannatyne for allowing me to transfer a bit of Cambridge Brewing Company history to my dining room!

A woman sea captain, an homage to a chef lost at sea, studio space for women architects. Like all of Orkney, the gallery called ‘Ship of Fools’ packs a lot into a tiny space. Captain Maiwenn Beadle pays tribute in this haunting, eye-level exhibit called “Lost at Sea”.

I’ve sold 30 copies in the last few days but today I’m not needed to go to the post office! Help change that by getting in touch so I can argue with a woman about whether it goes through a letterbox (it does)
To celebrate being on @bsky.app I’m going to sell my book at Amazon prices. So DM me if you want a copy signed and delivered for £12.29. RTs welcome!
