“spring has lost its magic this year” In my desire to rank almost everything in life, spring has always been my favourite season. It is optimistic and hopeful – it brings those first days of the year where you can sit outdoors with your face in the sun, blossom and flowers brighten up the most urban of walks, over-enthusiastic birds start chattering loudly, the big heavy coat gets shoved away for another year and we all emerge from our winter hibernation of early nights and comfort food to face the world again. Given that’s how spring makes me feel during an average year, you can start to understand our new season is under a lot of pressure to deliver right now. And right on cue, here she is; the clocks…

“I am disappointed by the men in my life” words: billie bhatia Along with most other women I have been plagued by disbelief since the death of Sarah Everard. Tragic doesn’t even come close, it’s fucking outrageous. While we mourn her death and think of her family, it has brought our own experiences to mind. The past two weeks have brought into sharp focus the realities of being a woman and how we’ve been conditioned to think that it’s our responsibility to ensure our personal safety.

She lives with her husband and son My alarm goes off… At 6am. We recently moved to a new farm off the west coast of Scotland, from another in Northumberland and there’s lots to do, so I’m up early. First things first, though: coffee and checking on our 20 sheepdogs. Then I visit the sheep and the cows to make sure they have enough food for the morning. I’m back in the house for 9.30am, which is when I have my second coffee of the day. I’m responsible for… Keeping over 400 sheep alive and healthy at my farm so they can provide…

THE MEANING OF LIFE IN 22 PROBING QUESTIONS Birdy What will the musician make of our existential questions? WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE? I believe in the idea of reincarnation, so we’re reborn to learn lessons and gain understanding that we lacked in a previous life. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG? It depends on what situation you’re in and what kind of society you grew up in, but normally it’s a feeling that tells you something is either right or wrong. WHere IS YOUR HAPPY PLACE? Being in the countryside where I grew up, swimming in the lakes and spending time with my family. NATURE OR NURTURE? Both. We’re born with a character, but overall we respond and change according to the behaviours around us, what’s…

travel Unleash your creativity with a literary getaway If the promise of freedom is stirring your desire to finally write that novel, follow in the footsteps of some literary greats Jane Austen’s Family House, Bath If it’s creative inspiration and immersive history you seek, the ancient city of Bath offers an embarrassment of riches – and what better base to explore it from than the home of its most famous resident. Available via Airbnb, you can now book into a flat that was the ground floor of Jane Austen’s family home from 1801-1805, where the novelist lived out her mid-20s.
