#journorequest I’m looking for budget hotels for a national newspaper travel section. Must have rooms (standard double) that drop below £100 a night at some point in the year. Need rate info, B&B or room only and must photograph well. Worldwide please. 🙏🏼 [email protected]

Avoid the overnight mud and the masses with Somerset’s best places to stay close to the festival site — hot showers guaranteed, writes @jumbojetsetter. But you’ll need to be quick… 'The posh hotels to book near Glastonbury that still have availability'👇 thetimes.co.uk/article/the-po…

I had this exact situation with @virginmedia when they hiked my bill up by £20 over the course of two months. Thankfully I was at the end of my contract and left but it's outrageous they are allowed to do this. @WhichUK theguardian.com/media/2023/aug…

Our little trip to Belgium to check out @centerparcsbe in today’s @timestravel. Massive savings to be made if you’re happy to cross the Channel 🙌🏽

Such a pointless study. We all know women have more choices now in life/career and can/are choosing to have families later (or not at all). We are moving with the times. Shame scientific research is still expecting us all to think if we leave it until after 30, that's it.

There’s no dining car, no shower and plenty of snoring — can @jumbojetsetter get on board with the new 12-hour service? thetimes.co.uk/article/what-i…

Back in the @timestravel this weekend with the cover story, travelling from London to Berlin by train via @EurostarUK and @EuropeanSlpr If you’re looking to travel slower, greener or more adventurously, it’s a great option 🚆

“Our current obsession with achievement is breeding a generation of wealthy, successful – and miserable people.” Interesting piece on career burnout and how valuing ‘time affluence’ over money is key to curing a very modern problem. For @flashpack: flashpack.com/solo/careers/w…

This is a painfully hard but hugely educating and important read. Not just for parents, for everyone. Self-advocacy with health is never easy when we’re not the ‘experts’ but it’s absolutely vital. I hope from this tragedy Martha’s legacy will help save lives ❤️

#journorequest Travel PRs, I'm on the hunt for cosy/fancy cabins/shepherds huts in the UK with availability for autumn. Must be reasonably priced and sleep either 2 or 4. Please send me suggestions with lead in rate and B&B/room only to [email protected]. Many thanks : )

Always a privilege to write for @timestravel but particularly special to see Ted and George making their debut. You know you’re a frazzled parent when you’ll take a week exercising in France just to have some downtime thetimes.co.uk/article/983508… #familyholiday #oùestmonpelvicfloor

I had the pleasure of interviewing @joeldommett and his wife Hannah for @TheSTMagazine. We spoke about them meeting on @instagram, being weird and why he’s in her phone as Sausage Joel. Oh, and bins. Thanks to @Broom_Cupboard for the commission. thetimes.co.uk/article/2a3d2d…
