Congratulations to Dervla Murphy, who was today awarded the BGTW Lifetime Achievement Award. Our founder Hilary Bradt reflects on why this honour is so justly deserved here: bit.ly/2J0jepb Eland #InternationalWomensDay #BritishGuildofTravelWriters

Ran the Bristol 10k race on Sunday as one of the Old Crones. Raising money for a splendid Sri Lanka charity. Do donate if you can! justgiving.com/crowdfunding/h… Thank you!

Trying to get travel insurance for a holiday in Yemen hasn't been easy. Realised that an American insurer doesn't care about the FCO, nor are they much bothered about non US citizens. So globalunderwriters.com came up trumps.

Mind you, Old Crones are forgetful. Here's the photo Libby Purves

Still euphoric after watching the greatest steeplechase in the world (sorry Aintree!), the Velka Pardubicka in the Czech Republic @visiteastbohemia. Congrats to Brit jockey Thomas Garner who won me my each-way bet.

Beautiful Oldkladruby horses at the national stud in the Czech Republic. Foals are born black and turn while with maturity. This foal shows the distinctive roman nose of the breed. #visiteastbohemia

Wow! Second year in a row! Congratulations. And the Travel Media awards are coming up on Monday.

Today is the 250th anniversary of William Wordsworth's birth. Here's a different take, by Lynn Peters, on his most famous poem. hilarybradt.com/category/blog/

Crowds (well, three people) thronging the finish of my Great Bristol 10k in Seaton. A beautiful run, considerably more hilly than in Bristol, and the same feeling of smugness and accomplishment afterwards.

Two weekend newspapers printed my articles about longing to go back to Patagonia and the Falkland Islands in December. inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyl… Rainbow Tours have organised the trip, it's ready to go, are you joining us? rainbowtours.co.uk/tours/argentin…

It's going to be the trip of a lifetime! Come and join us!

I've been missing parkrun so to combine two of my favourite activities, running and art, I'm doing drawings using my Strava app in the streets of Seaton. It's both fun and frustrating if I don't get it right and have to do it again! I had to do this one four times.

Another run this morning -- and another dog. Tired legs but happy dog.

April Fool? On an online form from BT I read: 'You've no doubt heard of COVID-19 or the "Coronavirus" as it's known.' Goodness, I had no idea!
