My book is a call to strengthen the bonds that unite us — Published by Austin Macauley, supported by an Arts Council England grant and with photographs by the excellent Deborah Jaffe, my first book, “Cuban, Immigrant, and Londoner” hits the shelves this week.

The One Element Missing From Your Writing That Could Bring You Success

And why you don’t have to go walking on the moon to achieve it — In an interview with the presenter Dermot O’Leary, former The Police lead singer and bassist, Sting, says that “song-writing is like fishing.

Whitstable

Kent’s oyster paradise welcomes me back — I let the cool water run through my fingers. It’s the same ritual I have enacted for years every time I’m by the sea.

“The Pain of Running Relieves the Pain of Living”

Not that living hurts, Jacqueline — Jacqueline Simon Gunn got it right. Running is painful. There are no two ways about it. I’ve run four marathons and two half-marathons. I’ve been a runner for most of my adult life, close to thirty years now (or maybe thirty already? I can’t remember). …

Urban Diary

Of pain and discomfort — “Do we really have to?” “You’ve asked me the same question a thousand times already. Yes, we have to.” “But no one else is wearing them anymore. Even on the Tube, you don’t see people’s faces covered up anymore. “I get it. And I know that it might feel uncomfortable…
