Literary Caen and the Channel Ports

Thursday morning, 27th July 2023. The research project on slow tourism for the Channel ports is still very much in Step 1, the Library Stage. The earliest step in our process methodology using the book for travel researchers. In the last few days, though, a literary connection with the city of Caen has begun to emerge. It's exciting enough to report here on Travel Writers Online. Using dialogue journaling a trustworthy link has been established with a fellow blogger, Claude at the blog Livres d'un jour . Claude had published a review of a detective novel, Canicule sanglante (2022) by Pierre Guinot-Delery (b.1949).  The title would translate as The Bloody Heatwave . The review starts like this: " The city of Caen is suffocating under the effect of a heat wave. One morning, the body of the vice-president of the chamber of commerce and business leader is found dead in front of the courthouse." That was enough to make me order a copy from Amazon. It's due to arri

Millbay Residency - a tourism history lesson

SuDS, Stonehouse and Plymouth Stonehouse was a separate place, a neighbour to Plymouth, until the towns were merged in 1914. Since the turn of the millennium, former Ministry of Defence property in Stonehouse has passed into local city council and then private hands for regeneration of the dockside area, including our area of study, known as Millbay. The first notable leisure and housing project was to convert the Royal William Victualling Yard. Our mission is to find walking routes into and around this emerging tourist area as it changes use to leisure and becomes part of the experience economy. As the writing and photography took shape under the title of The Millbay Residency, a marshland regeneration scheme funded by the European Union's Interreg initiative also reached completion on Bath Street, Plymouth. The local government and the urban regeneration scheme gave this old urban marshland a new French-styled place-brand with the name Millbay Boulevard. How is that connecting wi

Referencing with a Literary Tourism Bibliography

A Guide to Referencing When you embark on writing your PhD thesis or start a book-length project as an academic author it is essential to start collecting and managing your journal articles and book references. One method that requires no new training is to keep just one WORD document or Google Docs document with all your references as you collect them. Here is one, below, that I made for the specialist area of Literary Tourism. This example provides a valuable starting point for new research in this field.   In MS WORD you can keep the separate, single file open even when you are typing in one of your live chapters, then tab across to check or add a referenced article or book. If you work in the free Google environment, then try the recent feature of smart-chips to keep a quick link to your single doc of References. Use the at-symbol to point to a unique filename in your Google Drive, in the format below. If you click on this link you will find a Drive folder with this bibliograph
