Loved this and love Alba Jewellery! I had the pleasure of interviewing Jaqui and visiting her studio a few years ago, now I buy a piece for myself each birthday when I can

Note to self: Read your Conde Nast Traveler article and do a deep dive (pun intended) into all the best swimming retreats. Try to go to all of them.

I've been using a sunrise lamp lately to help me get out of bed in the morning. It feels like I am getting more sun during the day, even on these dreary Jan mornings. I'm unsure if it scientifically helps with vitamin D, but it feels like it does. And I'll take a good placebo any day!

Hi Freya… I loved reading your January article, I too have found solace in the warm embrace of a hot water bottle this winter…and fires and my bed.

I wanted to respond re your question of a good sauna. I am currently building one here @walnutfarmdorset and so I have been travelling the south coast of England in search of the best saunas (poor me). I have been to most of them within a few hours of my home in Dorset and the best experience for me was the Olla Hikki Sauna in Newquay - the people were so friendly(hosts and sauna goers) I made genuine connections, the experience was authentic and the heat and steam was unrivalled! If ever you are passing I highly recommend it. I would happily make the 5 hour round trip for another go soon!

I look forward to reading your sauna article, happy wintering

Molly
