One for the #TravelWriting scholars. Samia Ounoughi and I seem to have been working on this book forever, but it's out at last! It features a great range of contributions. If you have access to an academic library and an interest in travel writing scholarship, please request a copy!

Just collected the paintings we were bidding for, on a wall, by an old fort, high above Nice on Tuesday morning ... We're even happier with them than we ever imagined ... The irises are stunning and if anyone recognises the town, we'd love to know where it is 😍
