Love affairs start for all sorts of reasons – pandemics included.

On the back of a series of exotic, long-distance relationships, one of the finest travel destinations has been staring us in the face all along. Britain, where have you been all our lives?

A top Lake District restaurant says retaining its Michelin star is doubly important amid the challenges currently facing the hospitality industry.
The Cottage in the Wood, at Whinlatter, near Keswick, has been confirmed as one of the recipients of the much-coveted accolade in the Michelin Guide Great Britain and Ireland 2021.
Chef-director at The Cottage in the Wood, Ben Wilkinson, said the challenges of the pandemic meant it was vital to keep celebrating the culinary talent that the UK has to offer.
He said: âThereâs no denying that itâs tough for the hospitality industry right now, but itâs important to remind people what we have and look ahead to reopening our doors to customers when the time is right.
