Envelope marked "Receipts – NZ 2026".
And what those posts were really about was putting off the moment where I have to do this – put details of all my New Zealand receipts into a spreadsheet, then stick them into an envelope for my filing cabinet. Done now!

Document wallet labelled "New Zealand 2026".
A row of document wallets on the top of a bookshelf, with one pulled out bearing the title "Europe 2025".
The other thing I have to do on return, is place all the documents I've collected from the completed trip in a cardboard wallet like this. There's a whole row of these from past trips on the top shelf of one of my bookshelves, looking a bit battered.

Four articles cut out of a newspaper.
A plastic sleeve containing many copies of articles.

#TravelWriting One of the best.
If anyone's interested in a deep dive into #TravelWriting, I'll be leading a 3-day workshop on Whiddy Island as part of West Cork Literary Festival in July. (I'll also be doing an event at the festival, an early preview of my forthcoming book, #ThePathlessLand.)

Easter isn’t the same everywhere.
Years ago in Cáceres, Spain, I witnessed something quieter, older—processions moving through stone streets, heavy with history and silence.

At a museum in Sukhothai today, something small turned into something spiritual.
I wrote about craft, impermanence, and what remains after the maker is gone:

A photograph of god. This is a Theyyam dancer from the Kannur region of northern Kerala. The dancers are from "low castes" but after days of meditation, a god enters each one and they become god while the Theyyam festival lasts. #indiatravel #india #kerala #theyyam #travelphotography #travelwriting

A cinematic illustration of Porto at sunset, showing the Douro River, Rabelo boats, and the Dom Luís I Bridge glowing in warm golden light.
Why every traveler should visit Porto at least once
Porto is a city built on stories whispered through the narrow alleys of Ribeira and others sung through the melancholic notes

Thrilled to have had the opportunity to chat to the Travel Writing Podcast at Intrepid Times about #slowtravel, 'solastalgia' and how that relates to my latest book, 'This Is Not My Land: 30 Years on a Small Cotswolds Farm'. You can listen here: intrepidtimes.com/2026/03/caro... #travelwriting
