Iâve made a new friend. But dare I show her the real me? | Polly Hudson (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We hit it off, agreed to meet and suddenly weâre bosom buddies. But oh, the stress of always putting myself in the best possible light Iâve got a new friend. Iâm well aware I sound like a five-year-old reporting that, and this is exactly the point: it turns out making friends as an adult is absolutely excruciating. I like this person so much, and have found the whole business of welcoming someone into my fold quite life-affirming, but itâs almost not worth it for the amount of anxiety it
There are two kinds of people in this world: hosts or guests. Nobody can be both | Polly Hudson (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My hosting persona is an edgier version of Manuel from Fawlty Towers. Invite me to yours, however, and I am a nonstop delight My epiphany came between the starter and the main. At a friend’s place for dinner, I sat in awe as she put on a kind of magic show – the first course plates were cleared, but I never noticed her doing it.

Read excerpt
Swapping roast potatoes and yorkshire puddings for kimchi and avocado – how can they live with themselves? Trigger warning: the following contains a description of the most heinous abomination known to humankind. Ready? A diabolical 39% of gen Z add ketchup to their Sunday roast. This is as sacrilegious as it is unappetising. But what makes it even more appalling is that these monsters aren’t even ashamed. Instead of lurking in the shadows, hiding their Heinz, they’re happily admitting to their
Does your life feel out of control? Maybe you need some âpytâ | Polly Hudson (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This Danish concept encourages everyone to stop wasting energy on things we canât change. You can even buy a pyt button to press. But does it help? We wouldnât ignore tennis tips from Serena Williams, or culinary advice from Nigella Lawson, so when one of the happiest countries in the world lets slip a life strategy, we should probably pay attention. Even if it does, at first, sound a little simplistic and perhaps provoke an eye roll. Obligatory mention of hygge now dealt with, get ready to
