Choose Love - out now
Choose Love – out now

An interactive rom-com that we thought would be awful, but it’s strangely addictive. The only problem is we keep undoing our choices and choosing twice, and we’re possibly in love with Jordi Webber.

Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny – out now

Now available to buy and stream at home, this new film will give you a taste of nostalgia with a slice of Phoebe Waller-Bridge hilarity.

The Morning Show – Season 3 – Sept 13

They stopped filming because of COVID, and now they’re finally back. We loved watching the first two seasons and can’t wait to watch more.

Painkiller
Painkiller

This came out in early August and is about the opioid epidemic in America. It is based on real stories and played by actors like Matthew Broderick. It’s unbelievably interesting and one you’ll recommend to anyone who listens.

Sex Education – 21st September

We lost a little interest in the last season, but that doesn’t mean we won’t be tuning in again. It’s the last season and likely to have some conclusive endings for Otis, Maeve and Co.

Warm up in a chic sauna

The Sauna Society
The Sauna Society

Love a fresh dip in the ocean but not a fan of the cold weather? This chic pod has popped up at St Ouen’s Bay, Jersey, and we’re sure it won’t be the last. It is a great way to warm up these suddenly cold days, relieve those muscles and soak up the scenery. And if you don’t live in Jersey, be sure to check out your nearest wild swimming location and we bet there’s something similar in place. It’s becoming ‘a thing’.

Don’t make plans for December

*You don't have to do a thing
*You don’t have to do a thing

Worried that now it’s September, you suddenly need to make plans for Christmas? It’s great if you’re ahead of the game and booked Lapland in Jan. But many of our favourites still haven’t announced their details yet or have just released information. And don’t stress if you book zero events. Kids (especially small ones) just love being around you and all the twinkly lights. And if in doubt, head to the local garden centre *again!

Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow
Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow

One of the best books we’ve ever read. This story is about two friends, Sam and Sadie, who are in love but aren’t lovers. They have a unique spark first found in childhood and reignited as adults when they see each other in a crowded train station. It is a story of friendship, creativity, betrayal and tragedy. Sure to be made into a film, read it now, if and when you get a moment.
