Last Friday, and I shared a Live where we talked all about art - what to do with it, where to find it and how to hang it (amongst other things). It was great fun to do and we’re going to do one of these a month going forward for all subscribers where we’ll focus on one subject (taking additional questions in advance from our audiences) and then summarise the key points and info afterwards for our paid subscribers. An excellent plan, we thought.

It’s not actually my birthday until tomorrow but, you know, semantics. Celebrations started yesterday with tapas for lunch and a wine bar for dinner and are continuing this morning with a massage and facial, followed by a night out at Pocklington Arts Centre watching Angela Barnes. By the time I actually reach the big day, I’ll undoubtedly have peaked at my social action limit and will probably spend it on the sofa watching Unforgotten. I know how to live.

Admittedly, it has taken me a few days to work out if I have actually gained any knowledge AT ALL throughout the previous twelve months or if I have simply gained extra finger strength from constant phone use and an excellent first name term relationship with both DPD and Evri couriers. From a family perspective, however, we certainly appear to have made progress.

I have never been the most prolific gardener, nor very talented at keeping things alive or flourishing. When my kids were small, I used to regularly recruit my Mum (who is excellent at gardening) to come over and help me tame the borders; she’d come over from Pinner with her secateurs and attack the rose bushes and herbaceous borders.

Hello friends, hello August, fare thee well July. And a very warm welcome to new subscribers. This is my monthly round-up, in which I take you on an amble through what’s caught my eye and preoccupied my attention (or tugged at my bank account). I think this harks back to my magazine days - when we did a lot of scouting for stories or the latest must-have: curating before it was called curating. There will always be a bookish bent, but expect a general meander around the month just gone.

By Lisa DawsonWe’ve all been there. Down days, lack of motivation, feeling overwhelmed, and worrying too much. For some people, dealing with sporadic mental health issues is something they can handle themselves, and symptoms of depression and anxiety pass on their own. But for others, mental health and emotional well-being can be more of a challenge. Disruptive thoughts and feelings can linger day after day and may begin to affect daily life.

Jun 01, 2023●By Lisa DawsonBy Lisa DawsonOn a recent Friday evening at Uncork’d Wine Bar & Grill in Frisco, as delicious food was being served and drinks poured for patrons, a young musician quietly approached the microphone and introduced himself. “Hi,” he said. “My name is Alex Lease.” For the next few hours, Lease sang and played acoustic guitar, keeping the vibe of the evening soulful and humming along.
