Happy 100th to the greatest book ever written, The Great Gatsby. (Yes, this is the hill I shall die on)
Still inspiring authors today, it remains as wonderful as it was 100 years ago.
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past." ❤️

One of my more eventful assignments of late: a day in Portsmouth’s pubs for @TelegraphTravel. I met a former captain of the HMS Victory, a man dressed as Snow White and a bloke who took exception to my umbrella. Thank you ‘Pompey’. It was fun.
