Love, Anthea X
Hello,
I love a bumper edition and this one is packed! I’m off to Crete at the weekend to film a little report on a hotel so I’m saving the mini mag for the plane journey. But only when I’ve spent an hour deleting rubbish pictures from my phone.
I am obsessed with cleaning up my electronic life. On my recent trip to the Galapagos, I deleted over 2000. Admittedly, it was a long flight and I’d seen most of the films.

Seeing Bruce Springsteen at Hyde Park in the rain was a fabulous experience – the man was awesome. But . . . after posting on Instagram and showing friends, do I need to re-live it? No – delete.
Why do we take pictures of food? Just eat and enjoy the moment! Unless you’re going to recreate a masterpiece, which is totally acceptable.
When it comes to people, I admit to having a file of hideous pictures that might come in useful. Presenter Philippa Forrester and I have so many of each other, we’ll be in our 90s before we run out of embarrassing personalised card options.
