Two of the things I do are writing for Camping & Caravanning magazine and running Spring View Publications
A somewhat different interpretation of the words 'moving quickly' from WCC here, given the build started in 2021
Things are moving quickly at the A46 Stoneleigh Junction with the team pressing on through the recent heatwave. More detail here about what's been happening.

Sad to see @thespectator1828.bsky.social regurgitating unhelpful stuff about camping this week.

I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t publish a feature complaining an espresso cup is too small to take an Irish coffee, so why write off camping after using inappropriate kit?

Very much appreciate Vango's celebration of my recent birthday at the Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show this week

@cathrynpearce.bsky.social - please could I drop you a message about some naval research papers from my late father's collection that need a new home? I'm hoping you might be able to point me in the right direction!

I took a consumer rights feature I wrote in November 2019, long before generative AI was a thing, and put it into an AI detector website. The screenshot shows the result.

All six AI detectors say it’s conclusively AI generated…

Privileged to spend today with Ted Alexander and a little of his incredible archive of camping memorabilia, including more than 100 pre-1970s tents

I'm trying really hard to believe AI can be beneficial, but it's making it hard... IngramSpark's virtual assistant says: "I'm ever so sorry, but I'm unable to provide details about our products and services."

Bluesky is now officially embedded as my social medium of choice, resulting in a persistent earworm of Rainbow Connection courtesy of @garius.bsky.social and driving the new Renault 5 at the SMMT Test Day yesterday in the style of @joncoupland.bsky.social ...

A lovely event to celebrate the launch of Libby's book yesterday. She's doing a second book-signing at our local independent bookshop, Kenilworth Books, on 7 June.

Back on the campsite reviewing for Camping & Caravanning magazine the sunshine. Tough life, but somebody's got to do it.

Just been watching Boom XB-1 and it's first supersonic flight, live. It feels historic, not least because I only found out about it 2mins into the flight through the wonders of social media. It can work for good!

Very proud to have regained the top position here, having lost it briefly in 2023, when local tea supplies were so poor I often had to visit Coventry to stock up
