In defence of Liège
This weekend I spent with my partner Kath, her close friend from her childhood Emma, the esteemed Guardian sportswriter Philippe Auclair and his mate Fred.

Liège is beautiful. Don't believe what you read (except this - believe this)

The latest NSF is ALL about Pog - except when we talk about Glastonbury Tor. @Andymcgra joins me in my living room to talk about his latest, very fine book.

Just to be a contrarian (and because I hate it so much) I have decided to put my Substack prices UP for Black Friday and perhaps beyond.

Look at that collection. That's almost a decade of cycling history - dating back to 2018, when all 3 Grand Tours were won by British riders, and Pog wasn't even a thing.
It’s here!! Proudly added to the library, looking forward to working my way through this. @nedboulting.bsky.social @cyclingalmanack.bsky.social

Hawksmoor’s Christ Church is demonstrably London’s most beautiful church. Can’t walk past it without looking up.

Thank you - loads of you have done this, and left amazing comments. Really kind.
If you enjoyed the Accidental Tour-ist, then perhaps you might put your ballot paper in the digital box? I'd be enormously grateful. I mean, there's bigger things in the word than this. But the really teeny tiny things also matter (to me).

Recorded this on my way home from town a couple of years ago. This time of year though, when night falls very suddenly and very dark.

No telly for us in 2026. But that's OK.
