The mid-afternoon sun scorched Ben Shipley’s neck as he bent down to tie his trainers – an action he carried out with blithe precision at least ten times a day and yet here he was, all fingers and thumbs, his heart racing, stomach churning.

So many rites of passage since then: Rosie’s first steps, her first words, her first day at this very school. But today the spotlight had well and truly landed back on him. His first Dads’ Race. His opportunity to show Rosie that despite the turmoil of the past six months, she…

Sorrow and Bliss by Meg Mason I loved it. I know it’s about depression but there were moments of light relief and it’s a very clever book. I remember reading this on the train and clapping my hand on my chest in a dramatic fashion as it was so moving.

It was just really moving and, at the same time, very funny – it’s exactly the type of book I gravitate towards. Yours Cheerfully by AJ Pearce It’s a sequel to Dear Mrs Bird , which I loved.

Chère Madame. Vous ne vous rappelleriez pas de moi, mais de ma part… Tap-tap-tap-tap-tap. Tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap… She flicks the return bar – PING – and her fingers fall back into rhythm.

Thirty-seven years ago, your village was holding a vide-greniers, a car boot sale, as we say in English. I had driven for hours through fields of sunflowers and vines and lavender and I was thirsty. And there, suddenly, a church that looked like a child had drawn it. A bar with men smoking cigarettes and drinking red wine at wooden tables. Tap-tap-tap-tap-tap… Madame, how to express my thanks? What caught my…

Things have been hotting up. But with sliding make-up and moisture-sapping air-conditioning, summer can be unkind to your complexion. Plus, when humidity rises, sweat and sebum production ramps up. “But sebum isn’t all bad,” says Dr Kaywaan Kahn, aesthetician at the Hannah London clinics. “It helps protect and moisturise our skin; however, too much can clog pores and cause spots.” The heat can also increase the rate at which moisture evaporates. “Dehydration through hot temperatures and sweating can lead to skin becoming drier,” says Professor Firas Al-Niaimi, expert dermatologist at Sk:n. But, while you can’t control the weather, there are products that can provide some relief… WELL GEL Swap heavy creams for lightweight gels containing humectants such as hyaluronic acid, which draws in moisture without leaving a sticky residue.
