“Let’s dig deep for that christmas spirit” It is almost a year to the day that the government announced a relaxation of lockdown rules to allow households to be together for Christmas… remember that? Yet another appointment-to-view Boris announcement followed by a fluster of WhatsApps and calls to navigate familial politics, Covid anxieties and the excitement of some time with our loved ones for what promised to be the most special day ever for many of us. Then we all know what happened next: Lost Christmas. I can still hear the enormous collective groan that even managed to drown out my Bublé Christmas playlist. So perhaps it is no surprise that, this year, as we race into December, we are planning our festive fun with caution; attempting to temper our desire…

“I let my clubbing-self down” words: billie bhatia During my lowest points of despair during lockdown, I dreamt about my big night ‘out-out’ return. We all did. I’d throw in a beggy message in our group chat, “Guys, when can we go to a club?!” and watch my phone erupt in a series of pings: “I want to dance so hard I wake up with thigh cramp!” “Do you think we can still twerk like we used to?” “Should I start saving now?” “My tequila tolerance is pretty low at the moment, now would be a good time to go!” “Where shall we go? I’ll Google places we can’t afford!” We all manifested it as being the best night of our lives. Until someone waded in with something more pressing,…

A ONE-DAY DIARY FROM FLAT WHITE TO LIGHTS OUT Kharmel Cochrane, Casting Director Kharmel Cochrane, 35, is a casting director. She lives between Northamptonshire and London with her partner and two daughters My alarm goes off… Never. I don’t need to set one because my two daughters come into my bedroom at 6.30am to wake me and my partner up. While he negotiates their cereal demands, I have a cup of tea. Then, I’ll spend the next hour getting them ready for school – which often involves a lot of dancing to the radio. The morning school run is my non-negotiable time with them, and I’ll be back home by 8.30am. Then I’ll get ready, eat a quick breakfast (something like toast with cream cheese) and check all the…

THE MEANING OF LIFE IN 21 PROBING QUESTIONS Grace Carter What will the Dark Matter singer make of our existential questions? WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE? Growing and allowing all of our experiences to shape us. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG? Hmm, you tell me... WHERE IS YOUR HAPPY PLACE? My happy place is definitely on stage; it’s a space where I can really thrive. I’m a massive people person so just being able to connect with a room full of people over some kind of emotional common ground is super powerful. NATURE OR NURTURE? I think it has to be a bit of both. IS IT MORE IMPORTANT TO BE LIKED OR RESPECTED? I think it’s most important to like and respect yourself – if…

peak luxury Find Serenity in the Italian Dolomites Wellness meets winter sports in jaw-dropping surroundings, discovers Megan Glynn Immersing ourselves in nature is, we’re told, an antidote to worry and anxiety, aka the past 18 months. So imagine staying somewhere that gives you a pure shot of wonder every evening – that’s how I felt about my daily view of the jagged Italian Dolomites slowly turning pink under a setting sun. This, I happily discovered, is just one of the soul-reviving experiences on offer at the Adler Spa Resort in the village of Ortisei, northern Italy. From the moment we arrived through the South Tyrolean forest and got a first peek at Adler’s sprawling fairy-tale ‘lodge’, I had the feeling we were about to step into…

lights, candle, action Scents & Sensibility: How To Make Your Film Night 4D It’s the season for curling up to watch cosy, autumnal movies and with these film and candle pairings, you can go fully immersive, says Billie Bhatia digital artwork: justin metz In my humble opinion, there are few things in life more comforting than sinking into a timeworn sofa, pulling a blanket up over your body, and hitting play on an uplifting film set to the backdrop of the faint crackle and glow of a candle. It’s the soothing sensory experience that autumn Sundays were made for. Each element of the set-up plays a crucial role: the blanket needs to be soft but not too sleep-inducing. The film must be pre-chosen and familiar in the most sentimental way.…
