Camping out on stage at #CheltLitFest with the seven pairs of shoes I wore out while walking 11,000 km for #ThePerimeterBook. The rainstorm last night added just the right soundtrack to my talk! 📖 is.gd/P2BW67

A real highlight yesterday at #CheltLitFest was meeting the legendary photographer Martin Parr, whose work inspired several images in #ThePerimeterBook, from Gourock Pool to Felixstowe Beach. His book pairs 150 photos from his life with trademark humour & insight (Title is from his school report!).
