Seriously chuffed to be a finalist in the @travwriters.bsky.social BGTW Members' Excellence Awards. My @theguardian.com feature on food and wine in Samoëns made the shortlist for best specialist feature. I'm up against stiff competition, but it's wonderful to be shortlisted.

Historically on the 🇮🇲 Isle of Man the main fish caught was herring, since they ran in shoals off the coast.

🐟 Some of the herrings are also preserved by smoking, making the famous Manx kippers. #IOMStory #BGTW
