Winter is setting in and it’s dark outside, but there’s still plenty of loveliness to be found. This week, the HQ team share a selection of things that are making each of us happy right now. We’ve got an eclectic mixture of recommendations for you, from shows and songs, to satay stalls in our local food market – we hope you enjoy exploring them!
