The March edition of Canoe Kayak UK magazine features an article and photography by myself about our fantastic week on the Isles of Scilly last May. I hope that folk enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it … no, I really did. It was a truly wonderful holiday, and as it turned out, the last of many trips shared with a very good friend who is now gone from us. There must be worse ways to spend your time than writing about good times.
In other news …
I’m currently trying to flog copies of my book South West Sea Kayaking via eBay, at this link; if you were looking for a personal message* to be written in your copy, this is the way to do it. Hope that’s helpful?
Mrs R and I are off to the coast of Norfolk and Suffolk next week, partly because we’ve never been there (why not?), partly as research for Savage Shores and partly to begin work on a projected Pesda Press guidebook that will be a collaborative effort by various authors and will include this part of the world. I may or may not be paddling on this trip, the broken shoulder doesn’t seem to have healed up yet. At this rate, I may have to go see a doctor.
All good.
*True story; I once owned a copy of the guidebook White Water Nepal, which featured a personal message from the author inside the front cover. I lent it to a Kiwi friend who was heading out to Nepal, and as it happens, I’ve not run into her ever since. After several years, I decided to fill the gap on my bookshelf by bidding for a copy of the book that I spotted on eBay. I won the auction, the book arrived, I opened it … and found that it was personally dedicated to me.
