Just thought I’d pop in and say hello. I sailed my little boat mostly solo from Brighton up to Scotland. Arrived safely yesterday to anchor up off the Isle of Arran. It’s been an exceptional few weeks. I don’t want it to end.

I’m back in Marseille for a wee bit. I sailed here three years ago. I’d forgotten how different it is to the rest of France. It gives me Durban vibes. It’s like you might get stabbed, but at least you got a suntan.

You win Spain. You win everything.

Arrived in Menorca just as sun was rising. Gorgeous place. Certainly will return here.

Majorca is amazing. Skip Ibiza. This is my travel advice. You’re welcome.

I’ve been a massive fan since puberty.

It’s a Suzuki Vstrom. The baby one. But for pootling down farm tracks to the occasional motorway stint, it handles really well.

This was me today. (And yesterday and a couple more thrown in till next Monday). Riding across the farmlands and war memorials of Belgium and the Netherlands. It rained for about six hours of it. Loved it.

I watched this live. 30yrs of seeing live music in the flesh but this was something special @ChinchillaMusic

Off into London to see @ChinchillaMusic EP launch tonight. Haven’t been this excited to see an artist in years. This should be pretty special.
