There are scores of restaurants, cafes and coffee shops in Lytham, where we now live. JP's is the newest arrival. It has been open for about 6 weeks and has very quickly established an excellent reputation and a loyal clientele.
Deservedly so. The coffee is excellent - and different - almost all the cafes in the area sell the same type of coffee but JP's has selected, after considerable tasting and consideration, a different brand. The cakes are splendid and in great variety, attracting a great deal of attention and discussion from the customers. The lunches are eye-catching in their presentation, filling, and excellent to the taste buds.
At the moment,JP's is open only during the day, but they have gained a licence and will shortly be serving during the evening. A series of themed evenings is planned to attract the discerning diners of Lytham and one of these will be built round a presentation by yours truly. I am not sure whether, being a themed evening, diners will be expected to turn up in their hiking or rambling gear. I don't mind what they wear, but I shall be telling them a very interesting tale of how a scone in New Zealand inspired me to walk 14,500 kms and launched me into a whole new career of fund-raising for pancreatic cancer research.
Today I also opened discussions with another coffee shop about me undertaking a slightly different fund-raising activity there. Watch this space.
I know you have suggestions for talk venues. No matter how crazy, let me know. I will talk to anybody. If you want a signed copy of one of my books in return for a donation, or for any other reason, email me on:

Don't be shy. No venue is too small or too large. We have a disease to beat here.
