This Christmas thing has gone too far now

This afternoon, 4:15pm at Oddfellows Hall, @OfficialUoM! I'm giving a free talk for the @RGS_IBG about my book Fiesta and the festivals of cultures across the world – part travel writing, part anthropology, part folklore studies. Come along! @UoMAnthropology @MCRSociology

Wonderful to see FOUR Agency writers in the British Guild of Travel Writers ‘Book Friday’ gift guide: Shafik Meghji, Daniel Stables, Mary Novakovich & Tim Bird 📚

Delighted to have won Travel Feature of the Year - Europe at last night’s @TravWriters awards, for my @NatGeoTravelUK piece on hiking in the Icelandic Highlands.
