Bruised but at least the kids are thrilled with the video 😫

There’s CCTV footage of me slipping on the icy stairs down to our garden last week while taking the dog out and falling flat on my back. Hideous pain and I also yelled the same. I hope you’re not bruised tomorrow!

An absolute pleasure. Thank you for choosing Around the World x

Ah what a lovely message to read. Thank you so much, and lovely to hear you’re taking a few more trains journeys because of it

Yes on both accounts! And a happy new year to you Joel

The staff are wonderful. I really felt for them when I did the trip and I so hope they figure out a long-term solution because the pricing is so off-putting for most people I spoke to.

Ah lovely! And lucky you, god I wish I’d slept on that train. Such a fancy room to waste…

It’s cool. I’m fully aware that people like you like to pretend racism wasn’t a huge part of what happened. Because it makes you feel a lot smugger and pleased with yourselves.

I have absolutely no interest in your opinions. 👍🏽

The voice chosen for Chimene Suleyman was appalling, and one that sounds nothing like her with deep bias from Radio 4’s producers.

I would be careful about saying I “led a crusade”. You have also neatly omitted Philip Pullman likening us to Isis and the Taliban for critiquing a book that led to endless media abuse and personal racist abuse to us. Your facts are not facts.

And I didn’t know you were here on BlueSky! Thank you so much. If you‘d like any signed copies then my lovely local indie @qpbooks.bsky.social has plenty and will let me know if you’d like one with a dedication too.
