Still time to cash in on my @dkbooks books that are in the #BlackFriday sale! Science of Spice (sold 500,000+ copies) is one of my faves and a goodie for any food lover or cook you may have in your life - or just to treat yourself. amzn.to/4fSmU75

Ok, so I'm booking travel for February's NI Science Festival, where I will be speaking on Thurs and Fri 22-23 Feb. Don't want to fly. Doing it via train, ferry, train from Wiltshire costs £250, but to fly it costs less than £150. Surely there's something wrong here? @niscifest
