Sign up for The Antidote: 5 happy things to read about each day
Hi neighbours,
We live in unusual times. It all gets a bit much some days. So we're bringing you a much-needed dose of positivity to remind you that there's inspiration, kindness and quirkiness out there too.
You can check out today's edition of The Antidote - which features a cute puppy, the UK's longest-married couple, and Stewart Island's "savage" New Year's Eve here. If you'd like the Antidote delivered direct to your inbox, sign up here.


Hairdresser Required
Recommendation for a hairdresser who does good cuts and colour at a reasonable price. My hairdresser of 7 years is in hospital for a long term. Especially interested in work from home situations. Thank you.
