I haven't done a reading of my own in a while, so why not come along to Aberfoyle on Sunday morning at 1100. I need to decide whether to ride over the Duke's Pass on a bike, a greyhound, or an alpaca.

What a Tour de France this is already shaping up to be. Yesterday gave us one of the best opening stages I can remember, and today a stage was finally won by a Kevin! #tourdefrance #cycling #tdf

@NiallCPoetry He really liked Scotland, and he knew her literature well (but you could say that of just about any country's literature!) A great highlight of my trip to Argentina in 2017 was getting a personal guided tour of the Borges museum in Buenos Aires from his widow, Maria Kodama.

That image of bloodied horses running loose in London is pretty distressing. I hope horses, riders, and affected members of the public are all okay. #horsessontheloose #london #householdcavalry
