Having spent the best part of 3 weeks working in #Paris to, among other things, unravel the endless enigmas, nuances & unknowns surrounding the #olympics, my conclusion for BBC Travel is this: plan well & who cares if you don't have a ticket! bbc.com/travel/article…

Possibly the most Islington thing I will ever tweet but I've lived in Folkestone for nearly a year and my brain still hasn't accepted that Asda is not Waitrose and in fact does *not* stock preserved lemons or ras el hanout

@lottiecgross If people sat and read what's new in the guides, rather than knee-jerk reacted to what's not there any longer, they may find that they are actually pretty good and in some cases better than what was published before

This is interesting and just shows how much of a difficult position guidebook publishers are in... Staying relevant / in-date in a world of online reviews is so tricky, which is probably why they have largely taken out resto/hotel recs, but often those recs are where the value is

@lottiecgross They have been designed to reflect the reality that most travellers are using the smart phones for all the nuts & bolts detail - addresses, tel numbers, maps etc - this has freed up space in the guide for better descriptions of what's best to see & do TBC

@lottiecgross I don't agree with all the decisions made for the format of the new look guides, but - as someone who's written some of this new content and seen the guides develop (they are still evolving) - I recognise the need for them to change TBC

@LenniCoffey Welcome to Folkestone - you'll love it here! Pick up a copy of the Foghorn mag that I edit & I'd be happy to meet up and share local tips when I'm back from Athens at end of Sept

Today I'm feeling very grateful to have received the anonymous academic reader's report from @HurstPublishers on my manuscript for BLACK CROWN, and to see that they really 'got' what I was trying to do with the book. I'm so excited to share with it the world in January! 🇭🇹👑
