What we’re watching, craving and obsessing over this week
Are you Team Madlyn or Team Colby? Was Nate’s proposal fake? What’s with all the metallic barware? Get an opinion by getting engaged with Netflix’s Love Is Blind follow-up The Ultimatum: Marry Or Move On – stat – or expect to find yourself left behind in any pre-meeting Zoom chat for the foreseeable.
Mothball your curlers for now, as curtains of poker straight hair sliced up the SS22 catwalks. Proving fashion’s love affair with the 90s is more than a one-season wonder, keep it modern with a middle parting and plenty of shine spray.
Yearning for Napa, the Garden Route or the Hunter Valley? How about saving the air miles and joining the travel trail blazers by opting for a stay at a UK vineyard? With home-grown wines gaining in popularity year-on-year (at the last count, Waitrose Cellar had more than 90 English and Welsh wines for sale), it stands to reason that vineyards offering hospitality would be flourishing, too. Book Secret Valley for glamping among the grapes in Somerset, or try out the modern lodges at Chichester’s Tinwood Estate.
Engage your ears and expand your perspective with the new podcast from presenter and science lover Rick Edwards and long-term pal (and IRL scientist) Dr Michael Brooks. Eureka! probes the universe’s most pressing questions, including: should we fear an alien invasion, and could we live without blood? And most importantly, for anyone who works in an office environment, what makes a psychopath?
Level up your BBQ game or just dispatch your indoor kitchen altogether, as pro-looking outdoor kitchens are having a moment (just ask Marcus Wareing). Our pick is the futuristic Kettler Neo Outdoor Kitchen, which really screams, ’I’m fully committed to alfresco dining, whatever the weather.’ Seriously, buy one of these and you’ll be cooking your Christmas dinner on it.
