Went to back to Glastonbury on the weekend and climbed the Tor. Last time I was there was six years ago to research my book Wanderland! It felt good to be back.

The pardons for rioters, the intention to remove birthright citizenship, denying refugees the right to settle, renaming Denali, leaving the WHO, that Nazi salute. How terrifying. And David Lammy, now eager to chummy up to Trump. The UK needs to move away from this ‘special’ toxic relationship&fast.

This displaced Palestinian man in Gaza is playing oud inside his tent drenched in rainwater. Heavy rains have flooded hundreds of makeshift shelters, adding further misery to forcibly displaced Palestinians as Israel continues its war on Gaza.

Been enjoying down time and birthday time too this past week. If you want a break from the frenzy of London check out Wimbledon Village, Barnes and Richmond. All lovely, with plenty of green space and two of them on the river !

Went to Borough Market yesterday. Some very grumpy-looking stallholders. I was like, man, if you’re selling me cheese at least pretend you’re happy about it!!! Also, I had no idea Comté came in three strengths . In the market in Avignon (where I lived yrs ago) it was always just ‘Comté’. #cheese

I am sometimes quite quiet at drinks /work-related events and then I saw this on FB and am reminded why: ‘You might not be an introvert. You might just be exhausted by having to maintain the mask to navigate so many superficial conversations.’ Well said @jamiecatto!
