Spain extends Covid entry rules into June disrupting Brits’ bank holiday plans
Spain has extended the current Covid entry rules until next month meaning many British holidaymakers may find their plans thrown into disarray. Certain rules for visitors will now remain in place until June 15, declared authorities. This means that any brits planning to jet off for a sunny trip in Spain will still need to provide proof of vaccination to enter Spain. But, the new date means those heading off for the Jubilee bank holiday in June may have to cancel if they have not yet been vaccinated. Entry rules for tourists are different depending on if you’re arriving from the EU or the European Economic Area (EEA). But, those entering Spain from a “third country” – which now includes the UK – will need to show a vaccination or recovery certificate unless they are exempt. If you are fully vaccinated then you're allowed in without the need to quarantine or a Covid-19 test Spanish regulations class “fully vaccinated as having both doses of a two-dose vaccine or a single … [Read more...] about Spain extends Covid entry rules into June disrupting Brits’ bank holiday plans
Stay in an over-water bungalow for less than the Maldives – from Greece to Egypt
There are thousands of fantastic holiday destinations around the world, but one location has most Brits drooling at the thought of taking a trip there. The Maldives, a stunning collection of islands and atolls in the Indian Ocean, has become a dream for many. With its white sandy beaches and tropical blue waters we’re not surprised so many of us hope to jet off there on honeymoons and blow-out trips abroad. Especially when snaps of gorgeous bungalows that sit above the ocean are spamming our Instagram feeds… But, while the cost of a Maldives holiday makes the beautiful bungalows a once-in-a-lifetime expense there are other stunning destinations that offer a similar over-water vibe. And, some of them cost far less than your average Maldives trip where one night could set you back between £800 and £1600 a night, according to Prince of Travel. Plus, travelling from the airport on Mali to your island could cost you hundreds extra if you require boat or sea plane passage. … [Read more...] about Stay in an over-water bungalow for less than the Maldives – from Greece to Egypt

Woman left horrified after passenger secretly takes pictures of her feet during a flight
THIS woman probably thought her flight would be business as usual. But her choice in footwear paired with her strange seatmate meant that she was left feeling awkward. Alina Bedrossian shared a video on TikTok of her trying to relax in her plane seat with her feet stretched out in front of her. But what should've been a normal flight was disrupted when she realised that the stranger sitting next to her was slyly snapping pictures of her feet. In the video, the man can be seen leaning forward with his phone to get a clear shot of Alina's feet. He carefully angled the phone before looking back at the pictures he captured, much to her horror.

Singer Pearl Lowe gives a tour of her gorgeous vintage-inspired seaside home
Pearl Lowe has made an art form out of reinventing herself. The erstwhile singer-songwriter, who fronted Britpop band Powder, is now better known as the high priestess of all things vintage, with a back catalogue of beautifully curated country homes featuring exquisitely pretty pieces from the past, and her own designs for lace panels, floral wallpaper and cushions. Along the way, she has overcome addiction during her wild years as part of the now infamous ‘Primrose Hill set’, married her long-time love, Supergrass drummer Danny Goffey, with whom she has raised four children, produced her own fashion and swimwear ranges, and written three books. It’s fair to say, then, that she isn’t afraid of a challenge. But property and interiors-mad Pearl, now 52, admits that when she took on the transformation of a rundown coastal home in Winchelsea, East Sussex, last year, she hadn’t known quite what she was letting herself in for. ‘We have moved home and renovated more times … [Read more...] about Singer Pearl Lowe gives a tour of her gorgeous vintage-inspired seaside home
