@AnnaDeacon and I were invited to the @Global_GWS to talk about Scottish wild swimming and its benefits. Here's what I learned about the hot new trends in wellness - one of them, it turned out, going big globally, was wild swimming! heraldscotland.com/news/2471…

What a wonderful meet up! My lovely Mum and Lorraine Kelly swapping books at the @edbookfest
Delighted to meet @reallorraine at the @edbookfest & have her sign her fab new novel for my daughter @AnnaDeacon, co-author of wild swimming books with @vicky_allan. Gave her #TheRealMackay to read on the train with @RealMackaySTV's quote: 'A triumph of research and imagination!'

Such a huge shame this wonderful festival has been called off due to funding. We were really looking forward to speaking at our event, and the organisers have worked so hard to create a wonderful line up.
🚨 Exclusive: Glasgow’s long-running Aye Write book festival has been called off this year after the event was turned down for Creative Scotland funding. 🚨 scotsman.com/whats-on/arts-a… @TheScotsman @scotsman_arts @AyeWrite @CreativeScots @glasgowlife
