Barbara Cartland thought men shouldn't be virgins on wedding night (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Wish you were here, Dame Barbara. And the eerie thing is that it feels like she is here, perhaps hiding behind a salmon pink chaise longue and about to appear in a puff of talcum powder, shouting 'Cooee, darling'. Because Camfield Place, near Hatfield, where Barbara Cartland lived for 50 extraordinary years, is exactly how it was when she died in 2000, aged 98. 'Nothing should be moved in the house from the way I left it,' she wrote in a document, How To Open Camfield Place To The Public. 'Cars
Britain's 'most miserable town' to become a 'happening' UK hotspot (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mocking Slough has become a national sport ever since Sir John Betjeman’s catchy 1937 poem entitled Slough: ‘Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough!/It isn’t fit for humans now.’ It’s an easy game to play – we’re brilliant at it. Even though TV’s The Office was not filmed in the town – the opening credits of the 2001 series did show a dreary Slough roundabout and a heart-sinking office block on its infamous trading estate – the message was loud and clear. Slough was a dump, an urban dystopia, de

Kate Williams has reached boiling point – and it has nothing to do with the summer’s relentless heatwaves. Her husband died at the start of the year after suffering from severe dementia, leaving her alone in their five-bedroom detached home on the Northamptonshire/Lincolnshire border, near the town of Stamford. ‘After a few months, I realised that the best thing was to put the house on the market and start again in some ways,’ says Mrs Williams, 67, who recently retired as a military tailor.

'The Maldives? Caravan site on stilts': PALMER on 'OMG' experiences (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There's nothing wrong with heightened expectation. But it's so easy to be let down when the experience doesn't match the hype. So many things are overrated – but we go along with them because everyone else says they are so 'OMG' amazing. When, really, they're as dull as recycled ditchwater. The time has come to fight back. 'Get real', as Americans like to say, and yet they are more guilty than most for pandering to the overrated. Fine if it's good old barny between two friends, but sending noisy
Tourism demonstration at Cotswolds' prettiest village (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We've had water pistols on the streets of Barcelona, violent demonstrations in the Majorcan capital of Palma, blocked beaches on the Spanish Costas and aggressive marches in Venice – all in response to rampant over-tourism. But on Saturday, in the besieged Cotswolds village of Bourton-on-the-Water, it was picnic rugs, strawberries, fold-up chairs and flasks of tea – also in response to rampant over-tourism. As demonstrations go, it was a very British affair. There were no arrests; not even angry
