The Impossible Summer Bucket List
In the lead-up to every summer for as long as I can remember, I have written a ‘summer bucket list’—a sort of aspirational guide to the season ahead. The items on the list have always varied in intensity, from simple things like fish and chips on the beach with friends, to slightly more complicated targets, […]

I’ve been trying to set up a camping trip for weeks. I’ve wanted to go for so long, but things keep popping up. How do I get the push to just go

The Ritual of Watching Television
If there’s one thing I miss about the pre-streaming service age, it’s when watching television was a collective, group experience. Nowadays, watching a TV series is typically (though not always) a solitary act. This certainly has its perks: you can start and stop as you like and, perhaps most importantly, you have total autonomy over […]
