At one time, home and bathroom inspiration was delivered to us via glossy magazines. Next came online magazines, shortly followed by Pinterest.

Finding home and bathroom ‘inspo’ is now something we can access in an instance. We can simply be watching TV while scrolling through hundreds of beautiful bathrooms.
As bathrooms are now giving a nod to the wellness and self-caretrends, they are portrayed as a place...

Making new friends can be much harder when you are an adult. It is easy to make friends when you are a child and teenager but this all changes once you start to work full-time and have long-term relationships.

Fortunately, it is possible to make new friends when you are an adult if you know how and if you are willing to put yourself out there. Here are a few ways to try if you are looking to make new friends.
Recent research from the national body, Seafish, has uncovered that millennials eat 50% less fish than their grandparent’s generation. Are we surprised at this? The British tend to eat most of their fish fried, unlike their continental European neighbours who eat more grilled or simply cooked seafood. Restaurant owner and seafood chef Mitch Tonks has seen this himself and puts it partly down to there being very little for customers between fine dining seafood and traditional chippies and an increasing awareness but lack of information regarding sustainability.

‘Devil’s Drum Productions’ will tour a new play in the spring of 2019. The production company will perform 21 shows at 17 theatres in the south of England with a cast of seven. Unusually for a Sherlockian drama, this new story centres on Dr John Watson and not the great detective.

Although Holmes does appear quite a lot in the play, he has now taken to the South Downs and has started a new career as a Beekeeper. Watson discovers that his late wife Mary Morstan may have passed in...
