Twitter user Saoirse, from Luton, tweeted a photo on 21 January of her mother enjoying a drink on the train.

I’m not one of life’s fighters. Most of my school years were spent devising many different ways to weasel out of arguments that might turn physical.

So martial arts was clearly never for me – I don’t like the idea of hitting someone, and I DEFINITELY don’t like the idea of getting hit.

Here in the UK we are unsure about the super bowl.

How to have a Very British Super Bowl

For us, sports are best watched in an extremely crowded pub. If you don’t watch the big game on a screen you can hardly see, while being pushed and shoved by people as they fight towards the bar, then what’s the point?

But, in the interest of achieving unity and inclusivity in these turbulent political times, we think it’s time to embrace to Super Bowl. As such, we want you to grab your favourite expats, or make your British friends turn… Read the full story

You’re a Harry Potter fan, and you’re beginning to worry you’ve done everything a Harry Potter fan can do.

The women's march was amazing, but what comes next?

You spent Valentine’s at Hogwarts, you’ve tried brewing your own butterbeer and you’ve been to The Making of Harry Potter five times already this year (yes, in 2017).

If you, like me, suffer from a constant case of wanderlust, you’ll be well versed in the art of staring at pictures of dreamy travel destinations.

Whether it’s sandy beaches in Bali, snow-capped mountains in Canada, or picturesque towns across Europe, Pinterest and Instagram are chock-full of breathtaking images.

Skiing is often seen as an elitist hobby – after all, an average week skiing in the Alps can easily come in at £1,000 per person, and that’s before mountain lunches and apres-ski.

Add children to the mix, and it can quickly become prohibitively expensive.

Tokyo is everything you’ve ever dreamed an Asian city to be but super-sized and with the volume cranked up to 11.

It’s a sprawling metropolis, crammed with vertigo-inducing skyscrapers, that purrs with efficiency even when it groans under the weight of sheer human traffic.

Over the years I’ve noticed how quickly people are to blame an only child’s behaviour on their lack of a brother or sister.

Not just for being spoilt and attention-seeking, but for all manner of eccentricities from phobias and naivety to disliking certain foods.

There’s no love story more modern than this tale about a girl named Paige, and her boyfriend Austyn.

Paige Barile, 22, from Indiana, USA, has been dating Austyn, also 22, for 5 months – though they have been friends for three years, so it’s safe to say they know each other pretty well.

So well, in fact that when Paige went to surprise Austyn one night, it turns out he’d had exactly the same idea… Read the full story

On April 23, I will be running 26 miles alongside a load of other insane, sweaty people in the name of charity.

Let be clear: I’ve never, ever wanted to run a marathon.

It’s National Peanut Butter Day – as if we need an excuse to eat the stuff.

For some of course, every day is peanut butter day – it’s such a versatile ingredient.

And while we all love peanut butter cookies and pb&j sarnies, it’s great to mix things up sometimes.

So, if you’re looking for a super-indulgent peanut butter recipe look no further – this raw cheesecake is a winner.

And – because I’ve used cashews instead of dairy cream cheese, and oat flour – it’s suitable for vegans and is gluten and dairy-free.

Here’s how to… Read the full story

Knowing what to say when someone passes away can be difficult.

Whether it’s a colleague who’s grieving, or a close friend who’s experienced the death of a loved one, worrying over whether you’ll say the wrong thing is a common problem, and so many of us don’t say anything at all.
