From Carnival to the World Cup: Brazil arrives in London for WTM LONDON 2026

How a new generation of Sri Lankans is reshaping Colombo’s restaurant and bar scene

For decades, Colombo has been treated less as a cultural destination and more as a quick stopover between the Sri Lankan capital’s airport and the country’s more popular southern coast, where tourists flock to five-star resorts, beachside bars and premier surfing spots.

What dementia care around the world teaches us about dignity, community, avoiding burnout

This is the 100th instalment in a series on dementia, including the research into its causes and treatment, advice for carers and stories of hope. When this series launched, my mother was still by my side. My first column explored what looking after her taught me about dementia.
