Despite being a working farm, Tewinbury doesn’t lean only on its abundance of fresh on-site fruit, veg, wheat and barley to turn your head. With four restaurants, a spa treatment room, cinema, cookery school and weekly live music events, it’s as much a celebratory destination as it is a bucolic unwind. Choose from lakeside cabins with alfresco hot tubs, a shepherd’s hut or homely farmhouse bedrooms accented with wooden beams. When you want to work off the effects of one of their Roots communal supper club nights, pull on wellies from the communal boot room, borrow a map and some of the 700 acres. Source link

Tickets will go on sale on Saturday, August 31, the day after they release a special 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of Definitely Maybe, their debut album first released on August 29, 1994. Liam and Noel Gallagher are getting back together for the Oasis Live 25 worldwide tour next year (Simon Emmett/Fear PR/PA)PA MediaBecause this celebration has been long in the works, brand new Oasis merch has already come out this week.

Jesus Green is long and narrow, with a 91.4m length (or 100 yards in old money). There is no shallow end. We arrived early one evening towards the end of August and found three decently sized lanes dappled by the descending sun. The water is unheated but there is a cylindrical wooden sauna and hot showers sited in round, striped buildings resembling medieval jousting tents (this is Cambridge after all). Poolside lockers and wooden, open-air changing cubicles complete the look. The poolside Basket Room Café serves drinks and snacks to keep you on the move. For users with disabilities, there are a poolside hoist, accessible toilet and changing area. In 2021, the season was extended to October and there are plans to open all year round. The lido sits between the River Cam and Jesus Green. If ...

Using expertise meticulously preserved over the years, Ayurvedic healers advocate plant and herbal treatment preparations, yogic poses, energy-increasing breathing techniques (Pranayama), natural herbal medicines, and oftentimes, a complete diet overhaul depending on your dosha type. There are three of these: Vata (air and space), kapha (water and earth), and pitta (fire) — with each of us thought to have a dominant dosha and differing quantities of the other two. Source link

There’s a programme of exercises and health-related activities such as sound healing, pilates and mindful walks, which we decided to do, partly as it was at the reasonable time of 9am (not too early if you haven’t been raving). And after grazing the bountiful breakfast buffet, meaning several rounds of organic artisan breads, thinly sliced chorizo, olives and sun-ripened fruits, we met Aloha Paddle Surf Ibiza (alohapaddlesurfibiza.com), a friendly team offering walks, paddle boarding and yoga.

But in May 2023, eight years after that first meeting in Coventry, Stephanie ended things with Henry at their kitchen table in Peckham. There was no big shouting match, no accusations of infidelity or crocker thrown. In fact, on paper, they were the perfect match. Stephanie, however, is black, and Henry is white.  Source link

It’s the light that has drawn so many poets, artists and writers to the Balearics over the centuries – the unfiltered sort that slices through pergolas and douses the landscape in gold. Everything is dialled up – blue coves rendered luminous and surreal. The Spanish islands’ cicada chorus and wild agricultural hearts are shoulder-lowering stuff – even party isle Ibiza has it in droves away from the clubs. Having redeemed themselves from an all-inclusive, budget-holiday chapter, the islands (Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera) are gently luring their fincas, noble town houses and rustic buildings into the 21st century – many as a home-spun agriturismo project, others with radically reverential design houses who showcase the talent of local artisans. Some whisper tales of Spain’s golden...

Our first evening was spent in the hotels main restaurant, Apnea, which translates to ‘breathless’ and the al fresco views of the Aegean sea as you tuck into the modern Greek cuisine certainly take your breath away. Local fresh seafood dishes are the head chefs speciality and we enjoyed fresh Cretan cherry tomatoes with carob rusks and sea fennel, grilled Scorpion Fish with kakkavia sauce and fennel, milk-fed lamb with fermented grains, eggplant and grape leaf, all washed down with a local cocktail created by the restaurants’ mixologist. Breakfast and lunch is served in their other restaurant Plateia which is nestled into the heart of the complex with a sunkist terrace and poolside dining tables. Start your day with traditional Greek dishes such as milk pie or strapatsada (scrambled eggs ...
