“We all need to grieve for a lost year” A year in lockdown; now there are four words I never thought I’d say. Just over 365 days ago we packed up our desks and headed home. I remember walking out of the office that day, one of the final few to leave the building, sad but optimistic that we’d be back in a few weeks. If I’d have known then what I do now, I suspect I would have struggled to get out of the door. The past year has been so tough for everyone. Many have been gravely affected, either with their own health or the loss of a loved one. Others have lost work and financial security, or struggled in their relationships or with isolation. Our brilliant NHS…

does my confidence surprise you? words: billie bhatia The Grammys red carpet has always been one of my favourite fashion moments. More playful than say the Oscars, but more considered than the MTV awards, the event consistently serves looks: Celine Dion in the award ceremony’s first-ever naked dress, J-Lo in Versace, Mary J Blige in head-to-toe leopard print, Rihanna in a cloud of Giambattista Valli and Cardi B as Venus reborn in Thierry Mugler. Harry Styles aside, this year’s Grammys style crown went to Lizzo in an iced-lilac custom creation by Balmain. Among the fire emoji reactions posted on Instagram beneath the singer’s outfit, there were a smattering of comments that applauded her confidence for stepping out in such a form-fitting look, and it struck an uncomfortable nerve. Confidence and…

A one-day diary from morning latte to lights out Bairavi Manoharan, junior doctor Bairavi Manoharan, 24, is a junior doctor. She lives in Reading with her flatmate My alarm goes off… At 6.50am. The first thing I do is make a coffee, which I need before leaving the house every morning – my Nespresso machine is the best. Then I’ll eat breakfast, granola or a cereal bar, and get ready for the day. I’ve stopped wearing make-up since the pandemic because what’s the point? I’m in a face mask all day long. It takes me about 20 minutes to walk to work and I’ll listen to music that makes me feel as though I’m in a club: R&B, hip-hop. I get so into it that I forget I have…

A Swedish word for a scheduled coffee and snack break, it’s about creating a pause in the working day that allows you to reflect and gather your thoughts. With many of us still working from home, we can fall into bad habits of not taking as many breaks as we should – but a tried and tested method, we’ve found, is having a buttery baked treat worth stopping for. This recipe from new cookbook Food With Friends makes 12 small orange cardamom rolls, enough to keep you in fikas all week plus extra to leave on a neighbour’s doorstep. They’re sweet, sticky and utterly joy-inducing. Spread the love. preparation time…

travel an epic Scottish road trip We’re craving the open road more than ever and when restrictions allow, exploring the Scottish Highlands should be first on our list, says Lizzie Pook Outside the car window, forests glow with amber autumn foliage; before me, mountains rise like ogres and glassy waters meander through clefts in the cliffs. Arriving in the Scottish countryside feels like adding another lung to your organ system. It helps you breathe better, it unlocks the tension in your shoulders, it is quite simply utterly beautiful (and, oh look, there’s a red squirrel dashing across the road). Driving the length of the country might sound, to some, like a faff. But it’s worth it when the pay-off is some of the most staggering natural beauty you could ever…

THE MEANING OF LIFE IN 22 PROBING QUESTIONS Morfydd Clark What will the Saint Maud actor and Bafta Rising Star nominee make of our existential questions? WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE? Love. where is your happy place? North Wales at dusk looking out over the valley. There is a spot in Carrog where my uncle parks his Land Rover where you can see for miles and miles. Nature or nurture? Nurture always. I could have been so many different people, for better or worse. Nurture is also one of the reasons why Marcus Rashford has inspired me so much this year. Is it more important to be liked or respected? Depends who by. If you could be remembered for one thing what would it be? That I did own…
