Chico and I are about to be on BBC Radio 4’s Ramblings! We recorded on a truly filthy February day, and stood on our viewpoint with thick cloud in every direction, but it was great. Getting out with Chico is always great, and with Clare Balding and producer Karen Gregor, […]

Our little appearance on Wonders of the Coast Path is on ITV UK-wide tomorrow night at 8pm, so a good reason to get on with writing about the island adventure here. Also, there’s more travels afoot, and so this is housekeeping – getting out the backpacks and bivvybags and finding them all full of the […]

This is all out of order, like leafing through the piles of stuff on every surface in my lockdown flat. I am going to tell you more about Chico coming to Bardsey, but the next bit is Rhys’s story to tell, and we only see each other in passing, one […]

Nice to get the chance to dust off the donkey! Here’s Chico on telly, on an island. You can see the whole episode here – the series is airing in Wales at the moment and will be showing on ITV proper sometime soon. And here’s the backstory: A year ago […]

Anyone who’s been watching the whole donkey story will know that what I found so hard – what the ‘adventure’ really was – was my ineptitude and discomfort with being in charge. And here I bloody well am again. I am not the number-one parent. And in coming to realise […]
We walked to Hay! Ursula Martin (One Woman Walks) and I assembled all the OS maps, taped them to the floor, made a plumb line from Aberystwyth to Hay, then drew a pink pen line along the nicest-looking footpaths that were closest to our string. The upshot was a fantastic […]
I have talking dates coming up! I’m beside myself with excitement at having been invited to Hay Festival, which is at the end of May, and I am going to escape the monkey on my back (see the pretty monkey below!) and walk across Wales to Hay with my co-speakee, […]
This is the third year of my clever way of keeping Christmas consumerism in its place: I do all my shopping on Christmas Eve, and until then I firmly maintain the belief that Christmas doesn’t apply to me. This does mean that I forgot to mention my donkey wares – […]
I am going to New York. It’s not for work. Even stretching the definition of work as I do, I’m not doing anything adventurous, not taking my walking boots, maybe not even taking my laptop. And yet I’m more nervous about this trip than any other except one. If adventuring […]
I made a new film! It’s a shortie, just right for an afternoon tea break. It’s really very safe for work – no swearing at runaway donkeys, no crying (well, quite a lot actually, but not done by me for a change), no epic dirt-encrusted walk. Just the quiet struggle […]
