From the capital to the countryside


Anyone for a great British summer?

Jessie Ware’s summer essentials

The perennial plans

"Afternoons with friends that turn into long evenings, going on holidays – plural if possible – and going to a great festival (where it doesn’t rain)."

The road trip traditions

"Stopping for delicious coffee somewhere or stumbling across a fabulous, little market town on the way."

The summer soundtrack

"The Chronics, Childish Gambino, Sade, The Flamingos, Pale Jay and Minnie Riperton"

The perennial plans

"Long BBQ lunches in the garden that stretch on into the night, and the annual trips with my mum to the Chelsea Flower Show and Wimbledon."

"A nice countryside pub for lunch, ideally outdoors after a big walk. A farm shop for all the seasonal offerings. A wild swim somewhere and a mooch around an antique shop.”
