A picture of this Global Gimblett cunningly disguised as an alien thanks to Tripod's stupid-sized image box. In case you're wondering, I'm drinking a cup of coffee outside a railway station in Tunisia. I'll say one thing for Gimbletts - they like to travel. I've spent time in many countries, whether it's a day in Bangladesh, or 3 months in India. Most recently, I went to Italy with my wife, Sarah.
Some countries are better for vegetarian food than others.
Still a lot of places left to see, but I'm always drawn back to India, and as ridiculous as it sounds, I feel almost homesick for the place sometimes, especially if I see Ladakh on a travel or wildlife programme. I have my next trip planned already - that'll be Orissa, cyclones permitting. I usually write about my travels - my last book was 'Mr John', though I've published a lot of poetry, stories, articles, etc. since that one. This year I'm hoping to publish my Selected Poems. That, and finish the novel I've been writing for ages.
