A few weeks ago I sent a message to a random woman in New York City, asking if she wanted to swap lives with me. Homes, friends, dates – everything. Yes, like in The Holiday. She said yes. Full story in @TelegraphTravel today. Free til 2pm🔓 https://t.co/6Lyctv7lw8

Like the Christmas film, I swapped homes with a woman I met online and headed to NYC – it was the best dating decision I’ve ever made

One for everyone out there who loves holidaying in the UK with their four-legged friends. My wonderful (writer) friend @lottiecgross is penning a book - just for you.
#Dog owners! You need this book 🙃 I'm writing a one-stop guide to #dogfriendly holidays in Britain. It's got museums, heritage railways and MORE unusual fun plus hotels/pubs. I'm selling pre-orders here AND offering exclusive content along the way: https://t.co/errBowR43O

Wimbledon, Wembley and G7 bbqs are allowed and I still don't know if I can have 80 guests at my wedding. And those 80 won't be able to drink standing up – or dance. What a farce. #whataboutweddings
Can’t dance at a wedding but can stuff strawberries and champagne down your neck at The All England Club packed with tens of thousands crammed like sardines in a tin.

Despite the ongoing uncertainties around Covid, it may pay dividends to bite the bullet and bag the best deals now, especially for families
