No, thank you. If it’s all the same to you, I won’t wallow in your germs, dirt, and dead skin.
It can’t possibly just be me that finds the thought of sharing a tub of bubbling, lukewarm water with a group of other people toe-curlingly awful?
Let me explain that, in no way am I anti-social. I like company, and I also enjoy being just with my wife. …

Those were pretty much our ignorant preconceptions before we visited on a 10-day tour last year. …
This last year has been a challenge, and as it’s finally easing, don’t risk injury by heading straight back to your normal workouts.
After a year with gyms closed, a lot of us have let things slip. And, as lockdowns across the world are starting to ease, meaning that gyms and exercise classes are staring to reopen, there is a temptation to jump straight back into exercising at full tilt.
Instead, why not…
It’s a small gesture but left undone. It can cause all manner of upset

There are few incontrovertible truths in this world, but one of them is that at some point or other you…
Why we should all make time to step off the hamster wheel of life once in a while.
