If you build it, they will come.

Bray scenes.

Just bought this for myself for Father's Day as I am a voracious self-gifter

I've heard that Yer Da would like this travelogue/social history book about chippies, down to the price of battered sausage and chips on Amazon, and with you by Father's Day: amzn.eu/d/4LOK70J

Looking forward to reading these two loans from Portsmouth Libraries. The Book Purchaser must have good taste. @nigetassell.bsky.social @danielgraywriter.bsky.social

I'm delighted to reveal the cover of my new book, Upon A White Horse: Journeys in Ancient Britain and Ireland. It will be published by @headlinebooks.bsky.social on 11 September. Available to pre-order here: linktr.ee/UponAWhiteHo... If you are happy to share this post, please, I'd be grateful.

They just can't get rid of me... On Sunday I'll be switching to the new book. Appropriate in the city where some of my most boring Sundays happened. Hopefully you won't feel the same if you come along ⬇️

See you there, Daniel. Get down there if you can. We're hopefully popping down Brew York's tap afterwards.

Just finished @danielgraywriter.bsky.social very entertaining 'Food of the cods', an odyssey of Britain's fish and chip shops. Highly recommended . Just reading it made me feel hungry.

This Saturday I'm back on home, er, concrete doing an event to make you really, really miss football. It's free, pop in and let us sit in a circle and talk about turnstiles ⬇️

Lovely to appear at Derby Book Festival today, and then I popped in on the King of Rome. Without The Unthanks I wouldn't know this brilliant story and beautiful song. There is something very 'Sunday' about pigeon racing. "Come on down, my lovely one/You made my dream come true..."

'Stevie May charged around in the pulsating fashion of a Not In Service bus on its way back to the depot at midnight...' My latest Slow Match Report - Livingston v Ross County - is up now: tinyurl.com/te9fkkev

🚨 THE SLOW MATCH REPORT🚨 ⚽ Livingston 1 Ross County ⚽ 🪲 "Livi closed everything down, scurrying like woodlice from a lifted brick" 💥 @danielgraywriter.bsky.social takes in the Premiership Play-off final first leg ✍️ tinyurl.com/te9fkkev

FA Cup Final day always brings memories of singing "Three points! Three points!" at Prince Charles after our deduction, and also of this banner which seemed to imply that The Jackson 5 were a miscarriage of justice.

A glorious day for hanging around one of the finest grounds on earth.

We hope everyone had a great weekend, but don't put away your Sunday Best quite yet because this Wednesday @danielgraywriter.bsky.social will be guiding us through our love affair with the day of rest! Tickets here: www.maddingcrowdlinlithgow.com/collections/...

Just over a week until our event with @danielgraywriter.bsky.social! He's coming to talk about his brilliant new book Sunday Best - an evocative celebration of the seventh day in all its rich variety, chock full of nostalgia and affection! Tickets here: www.maddingcrowdlinlithgow.com/collections/...

Just a lovely letter.

An excellent reason to go to Leeds! 😉. Next Friday, the @leedslibraries.bsky.social & @britishlibrary.bsky.social football fanzine expo, Voice of the Fans, opens. Cracking events leedsinspired.co.uk/collection/v... Quality video. Nailed what 'zines are about. Can't wait. Is that the programme? NO😅

30 years today since the last game at Ayresome and me managing to drag my massive curtain hair on for the pitch invasion. Coincidentally, after Saturday's retro day, the items I'm wearing then are on the line right now. Football: making us keep stinking nylon garments forever.

Oh yeah! It's @danielgraywriter.bsky.social at @yorkfestofideas.bsky.social. Looking forward to booking on this celebration of football. You around @nickquantrill.bsky.social?

In May we'll be welcoming @danielgraywriter.bsky.social to Linlithgow to discuss his book Sunday Best! Part travelogue, part history, and written with love for the seventh day, Sunday Best rings with the faint sound of church bells. Tickets here: www.maddingcrowdlinlithgow.com/collections/...

It's the last Sunday of April! We have a variety of events coming up next month including When We Were Killers by C F Barrington and Sunday Best by Daniel Gray! so why not pop in and grab yourselves a copy, we are open from 12-4pm!

Very chuffed with these words about my Sunday words from the wonderful Ian McMillan, a man I admire an awful lot.

Boro's season in a half-time photo. The great burst beachball of life.

Thanks so much to @portybooks.bsky.social for a great Sunday Best launch event last night. When I am dictator all shop windows shall look like this.
