Bristol, UK

Apologies yet again for being so remiss about updating this....

I was reading my diary last night and realised with a pang of nostalgia that today last year Jo and I were crossing the border between China and Kazakhstan. At this very moment we were probably tukking into Almaty, after 14 hrs on the road, tired and grubby. It seems like a world away and a lifetime ago - and oh how I miss it.

The good news however is that Tuk Tuk to the Road , the book about our travels, is due out on 3 August. We got our sneak preview copies a few days ago and it looks great, amazing to think we actually did it and are now published authors. If you google the title you'll see you can order it on Amazon and via Waterstones, WH Smith et al. We'll keep you updated over the next few weeks as to publicity coming up - Radio 4's Excess Baggage programme are interviewing us on 27 July, plus there's going to be articles in Cosmo, Woman's Own and a few other things.

The documentary is also still in the pipeline and is currently being pitched to a number of channels.

As usual there seems to be too much to do and too little time so it's short and sweet today. I'm off to the Exit Festival in Serbia for a week on Wednesday www.exitfest.org. Looking forward most of all to The Prodigy and Pendulum, plus the usual festival silliness.

More soon
