The Forsythe Programme at the ENB

1 week ago | arbuturian.com | Anna Selby

English National Ballet is, of course, best known for its classical ballet productions – Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, Sleeping Beauty and, albeit with a decidedly ghoulish twist, the Akram Khan retelling of Giselle. It does, though, also have a longstanding relationship with the work of the New York choreographer William Forsythe, whose love of classical technique is deconstructed and lovingly teased across the triple bill of his work currently on show at Sadler’s Wells.
An epic rail journey is the perfect way to experience Canada's autumn glory

1 week ago | telegraph.co.uk | Anna Selby

Canada's fall colour is every bit as riotous as its neighbour's, and best observed from the comfort of a luxury train carriageThe east coast of North America is, of course, famous for that great annual shout of colour that is the glory of the fall. As a pastime, leaf peeping is probably most commonly associated with New England, when the hills and mountainsides burst forth in glorious crimsons, butter yellows, purples, golds, vermilions and burgundies.
Kioku by Endo at the OWO

I think I have just discovered my favourite London restaurant. And it’s a win on all fronts. The food is Japanese – already my favourite cuisine for some time now. The setting is a delight with an elegant interior and outside a magnificent rooftop wrap-around terrace with some of the best views in London. The service is charming, the staff are knowledgeable and the sake list is the most extensive in the capital. So let me roll back a bit here.
Spa of the Month: St Nicholas Bay, Crete

3 weeks ago | arbuturian.com | Anna Selby

The southernmost of all Greece’s islands has, unsurprisingly, the longest summer. This is why at almost the end of October, it is still swimsuit weather by day and the evenings are balmy enough for outdoor dining. Some 260 miles from Athens, Crete’s long hot, dry summers are more similar to the north coast of Africa (187 miles away) than those of many Mediterranean islands.

New Zealand's greatest rail journey deserves a spot on your bucket list

This laid-back country delivers an appropriately relaxed mode of travel - and it's every bit as spectacular as better-known equivalentsWhat is it about train journeys that, at their best, make them the undisputed champions of relaxed travel? I am thinking of train travel as it should be: comfortable seats, huge windows to enjoy the views, charming staff, delicious food and drinks served at white-clothed tables, and all the luggage securely tucked away in the baggage car.
Spa of the Month: Platzlhof, Zillertal

Regardless of our passion for skiing in the Alps, Austria is not just for winter. It is just as beautiful in the summer with its landscape of lakes and mountains and the great outdoors has just as much on offer, too. The Zillertal region of Tirol is one of the prettiest and best connected areas and its extensive series of ski lifts mean that long walks in the mountains are a piece of cake (well, at least getting to them is).
Beyond Baku: A Most Unlikely Wine Tour

1 month ago | arbuturian.com | Anna Selby

Wine tours have become increasingly popular over the last decade or so. France, Italy, Spain – they all have well-trodden routes and vineyards happy to throw open their doors for tastings and tours. If you’re looking for something a little more unusual, however, you could head rather further east to a country that might not be the first that springs to mind when you’re thinking of wine making. Azerbaijan is a Shia Muslim country, like one of its immediate neighbours, Iran.
