Finding the motivation to get through a long read is tough these days, so we’ve been reading the short novel Tin Man by Sarah Winman*. Almost a love story, it’s about a childhood friendship with its fair share of pain, regret and joyful memories. And it leaves you wanting more, which is a good place to be.

And if reading really isn’t your thing, Faye Webster’s 4th album, I Know I’m Funny haha, is all the feels. It’s a blend of folk-pop/alternative country and is a gentle, soothing backdrop to a lazy Friday night…

If you’re looking to spice things up in the kitchen this delicious hot ginger and spiced rye cake with pear has the perfect amount of kick. Get it in ya for Saturday afternoon tea.
