Breakfast style around the world. I like the Italian/ Spanish / Argentinian version of having a coffee and a little sweet treat to get started into my day. Would you agree with the data shown in this map?

Known for its black sand and shimmering icebergs that resemble sparkling diamonds, this spot is a must-visit for any Iceland adventure. ✨💎❄️

Ready for winter? Much colder air arrives next week with snow likely in northern Scottish hills, perhaps disruptive.

Some snow is possible elsewhere in the UK, but we're still working on the details...

Heard that there's warmer weather on the way?

Whilst it is due to turn much milder for all of us, there's also some rain in the forecast and this will be heavy and locally disruptive in places. Here's what's going on 👇
