I wrote a book where this episode is a central theme & though I'd do it very differently if I wrote it again - who knows, I might 😮! - it's here for anyone still interested (a bargain £9.11 I see).. Published 10 yrs ago. Who knows where the time goes? amazon.co.uk/Search-Duncan-…

I haven’t been able to put down this gorgeous books mag from Backstory | London bookshop all evening. Among other things, it has taught me a lot about BookTok. Congratulations Tom Rowley

The FT's excellent Globetrotter travel section has a new guide to Edinburgh. Starting today with Simeon Kerr and Lukanyo on where the power brokers dine. Watch out later this week for a (thankfully blurred) photo of me running around Edinburgh: ft.com/content/c818d3…

Here I am running around Edinburgh for Financial Times Globetrotter's newly-released Edinburgh guide. I could have added at least three routes that I also love. The point is: running in Edinburgh is AMAZING. ft.com/content/16c86a…

A legend bows out. 🫡 Andy Murray has played his final professional tennis match. Thank you for everything, Andy ❤️
