With the return of @BridgertonNetflix, it's time for a little flashback to my visit to Bath. If this deli looks familiar, that's because it also doubles as the Modiste in the incredible period show that we all know and love.

Did you know that Liverpool is home to Europe's oldest Chinese community, and the iconic Chinatown gate is the tallest of any outside of China?

Just as an aside, I have a long-lasting love of Suzuki Jimnys, and this one matches the model I have on my desk.
