Ever get the feeling you're being watched?

Publication day for the Illustrated Otherlands - get your own copy at all bookshops, or get your local library to order one and borrow it!

I mean, seriously, Iceland. I've not even had time to leave the city but you're still just so nice to be in.

Thanks for inviting me, and I'll be back.

I've spent the last couple of days in Reykjavik at the Umhverfisthing (Environmental Assembly). Lots of visions of climatic and Environmental hope, great engagement with the community. From the architecture to the food to the people, Iceland has quickly become one of my favourite countries.

Anyone in the Brighton area should come and watch some of the Golf Croquet World Team Championships (Tier 2). 5th-10th of August, Sussex County Croquet Club.

Fierce competition between 12 countries to get promotion to the top tier in four years time - and Scotland are in with an outside shot!

🚨Exciting news🚨
The illustrated version of Otherlands has appeared through my letterbox!

The art by Gavin Scott is just beautiful, with more than 100 pages of scenes, stories, and guides to bring the past to life.

Perfect for readers aged 7-11, but also for anyone who just wanted more pictures!
