@LNER hello - it’s possible I left some glasses on the 13th 30 to Edinburgh this afternoon. I was travelling in Coach C all the way from London to Edinburgh. Is there a lost property facility where I could check if they were found?

The paperback of Overnight is published this week on Thursday 12th. Thanks to everyone who supported the hardback. The updated edition has extra material and a beautiful new cover photograph taken on Skye by Nicholas J R White

[Dan Richards @Dan_Zep]

and Sarah Perry described the book as ‘both gripping & consoling, & full of an intelligent, querying tenderness for its subjects. I was never sure whether I'd be moved to laughter or tears: often, it was both, & in the end I was sad to leave Richards' humane and witty company…’

Great Bowie show, just him talking, telling stories, he does talk about the creative process in a way that very few get close to. Clever chap. https://t.co/a5fdvxt9eC
