    Time was dying young was the only way to go for a rock star. But clearly no one told the likes of Kurt Cobain of the value of the nostalgia circuit. Enter Franz Ferdinand, archdukes of the indie dancefloor, 23 years into their career but barely skipping a beat.

    AS a delusional youngster, I often dreamed I’d run with royalty one day. Well Prince William remained aloof but I did fulfil that ambition recently when I laced up my trainers to take part in the world’s biggest fun run — the Dubai Run.

    BELIEVE it or not, it’s not always cold in the Arctic Circle. The week I visited northern Lapland, we were treated to temperatures in their mid 20s and glorious sunshine - and that’s what they call off season in the Nordics. You see, Lapland tends to be incredibly busy in the winter, mostly due to its most famous resident. But as one of my travel companions noted, Lapland isn’t just for Christmas…Throughout the year the Nordics is something special.
