I enjoyed attending and presenting at the annual TMI convention, hosted by the University of Lancashire Business School, today. My talk was on #publicvalue as a way to consider and talk about tourism, based on recent research into coastal Cumberland.

How do imagination and history merge in tourism?
Our new Annals of Tourism Research paper explores how #historicalfiction offers the lure and blur of the real.

A highlight of my visit to The Harris today was the #WallaceAndGromit exhibition. Great to see the creativity and attention to detail in the original models.

Visted the revamped #Harris Museum/gallery/library today. I really liked it, a good community space for #Preston, #Lancashire. It is worth travelling for, if you're tempted to visit. @blogpreston.co.uk @marketinglancs.bsky.social Will post a few pics...

My regular cycling route. This hill drops down from the Chipping Wild Boar Park to Dunsop Bridge, #Lancashire. Good walking too, especially around Parlick (a hill near Chipping). Love it up there.

Recent visit to Browsholme Hall. The oldest continuously inhabited family home in #Lancashire (family there since 1507). A relaxing day.
