Edits

Put the kettle on (or pour a wee dram) and spend five minutes with Darcie Maher, founder of Edinburgh favourite Lannan Bakery, as we talk Burns Night, baking, and the power of nostalgia.
Raised in the Scottish Borders, Darcie’s work is rooted in the treats of her childhood - pink iced buns, custard slices and bakery windows full of joy. For Burns Night, she keeps things refreshingly low-key, favouring good food, good music and desserts that honour tradition with a playful twist. From cranachan hacks to sea buckthorn Jaffa Cakes, this is a love letter to Scottish flavour, past and present.

Food and Hosting

Lanzarote feels like an island in creative flux - raw, elemental landscapes meeting a new wave of thoughtful hotels, quietly confident restaurants and a growing community of artists, makers and hosts drawn to its slower pace of life. The island’s volcanic winelands, dotted with crescent-shaped stone walls and black ash soils, are as visually striking as they are distinctive - and yes, the majority of the white wines from the indigenous Malvaisia Volcanica grape are exceptional. The islands creative heartbeat flows from the north: dramatic cliffs, endless surf, excellent food and a relaxed, international crowd that gives the island an underlying magnetic energy. Add in wildly diverse microclimates, César Manrique’s enduring influence and a deep respect for the natural environment, and Lanzarote reveals itself as both culturally rich and creatively alive.

Travel

We’re fascinated by the curious ritual of reading, and how carving out time and space for it can become an anchor, especially in January. We spent five minutes with Danielle, founder of Lala Books, the joyfully casual independent bookshop in Camberwell that feels more like a friend’s brilliantly chaotic home library than a traditional store. Guided by instinct and a love of the unexpected, Danielle shares what customers are craving right now (shorter novels with bite, humour, and no grimness), her sacred(ish) reading habits, and the books she can’t stop recommending.

Culture

Lighting is finally getting the credit it deserves. In 2026, it’s no longer an afterthought tacked on at the end of a renovation, but the thing that makes a room feel finished, liveable, and human. What’s changing most isn’t just how lights look, but how they behave. There’s a move away from harsh overheads and towards softer, more considered schemes - lighting that adapts across the day, flatters skin tones, and adds atmosphere rather than stealing it. The best spaces now feel gently lit rather than brightly lit. These 2026 lighting trends are less about chasing novelty and more about living well - with warmth, intention, and a bit of poetry.
