I'm making a shameless plug for the Ramsgate Festival of Sound, asking for donations to the event, please. It grew out of A Summer Squall, which became the Ramsgate Festival then the Festival of Sound. It takes SO MUCH work and drive to keep these events going, you simply can't imagine if you've not been part of such an event.

The lovely team kept at it, even over lockdown in 2020, they give the town a special treat each year and encourage new people to come and enjoy Ramsgate.

We made it to the Valley of Flowers yesterday, 11,500ft up in the Himalayas. It’s been a hope to visit for years so getting there is childishly exciting. We stay In Ghangria, a summer village 5km down the mountain, it’s been a visceral lesson in how roaming people live, setting up for the trekking season, servicing the needs of the village with mules to transport everything from the last road up to the hills. It’s fantastic to hear no transport save the occasional helicopter!
