If I have to go the Natural History Museum again this decade, I’ll cry. My ability to infect my child with enthusiasm for taxidermied animals is on the wane. Some days – of the 16 or so weeks of school holiday we have to fill each year – I just want to sit down, drink

In 2010, Brighton made history by becoming the first constituency to elect a Green MP – its leader, Caroline Lucas - to the House of Commons. But even before this, the town was known as an eco-hub, brimming with eclectic individuals living in a relatively liberal bubble. Travelling to Brighton last year for a university break
Guest blog by Claus Sorensen, founder of Spain Holiday, the number-one holiday-rental site for Spain. I have been living in Spain for the last 13 years and in that time have become a devout Hispanophile. To prove it, I even married a local Malagueña!
