Ha! Amazing 👏🏼 You should come do a talk in Canterbury! Your #ThePerimeterBook has come up in conversation so many times amongst so many walkers, pilgrims and just general outdoorsy types that gather in the town's cafes.

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!).
