Hey, look at us. Look at YOU! We made it through in one piece.

Summer, it was nice knowing you. But as everyone's most sociable season draws to a close, we're determined to keep putting our best foot forward one way or another, with autumn promising bigger, better and, ultimately, cosier things.

Since you're here with us, we're assuming you're planning on doing the same.

Summer was a time of relentless enthusiasm, even in the face of uncertain times, but now autumn's here, it's time to embrace a few home comforts. Or, at least, the crackling fire of the pub and a few mushrooms and pumpkins on the plate!

This season, we're doubling down on autum's finest features, embracing that sense of rebirth and rejuvination with arms wide open. We know you feel it, too. Here’s where IDEAL comes in.

We're here to keep you entertained and inspired; whether you're after advice on staying positive in stressful times, surviving - or even thriving - as the world opens up again, and, of course, where to eat, drink and travel.

Allow yourself to get excited. We’ve done the legwork so you don’t have to, with our IDEAL guides on travel, food, lifestyle and wellbeing.

We’re an online blog, IDEAL for your daily dose of all things lifestyle, from travel to wellbeing and everything in between
