Most mornings I read the Guardian cover to cover, despite the knowledge that much of the news will be depressingly familiar and similarly horrifying. The G2 section is therefore welcome additional reading, with its mix of serious features and lighter entertainment.
Thank you so much for the wonderfully entertaining feature from your journalists who entered the challenge to describe their dream holiday at home. Emma Beddington’s writing is invariably a treat, no matter the subject matter, and her description of wet York as Venice cheered me up hugely( ‘Soaked and shivering, I order a spritz’: how I holidayed in Venice – without leaving York, 10 August).
Having felt somewhat low for much of the morning, by having been on vicarious hilarious excursions to Iceland, Japan, the Aeolian Islands and Norfolk, I have now recovered enough to drive with my husband to a nearby vineyard in Kent, where we will happily pretend to be in beloved Épernay in France. Thank you to your clever, amusing and creative journalists for raising our spirits.
