The Brenta group is one of the nine major mountain systems within the Dolomites region in northern Italy, and it is part of the UNESCO World Heritage site which covers the area.

My houseplant collection is growing so rapidly that some might call me a crazy plant lady. My leafy pals bring me so much joy and tending to them is one of my favourite hobbies. Plus they have so many benefits, from boosting air quality and reducing stress through to revitalising your home interior. If you’re …

I have never stuck with a consistent running routine as I thought it wasn’t for me, I wasn’t built to run and I was never going to enjoy it. Well, low and behold that has all changed. When the government said we could only go outdoors to exercise during lockdown, I decided I was going …
