It’s that time of year again… My slow summer in Camogli has begun, and what a way to start! This vlog follows a week in my life somewhere in northern Italy, making my wildest dreams come true by shooting my very first collaboration with Chouchou intimates. I named this collection ‘Sogni d’Oro’ after my sweet dream days spent here on the Italian Riviera. I knew I wanted to share a piece of this golden world with all of you, and I can’t believe how perfectly it has all come to life. This week was full of slow moments alone by the sea, journaling, getting out of my comfort zone, and reminding myself that I can do things alone. Hearing all of you talk about how these solo travels of mine have inspired you to brave it alone too make my heart burst with happiness. I hope you can all visit Camogli one day and feel the same way I feel when I’m here alone. Thank you all for supporting me through everything, I can’t tell you how grateful I am and how lucky I feel to be able to share this beauty with you. Love & sweet dreams, xoxo, elena tÊa

England is smaller than Oregon, holds 85% of the world’s chalk streams, and hit 40.3°C on a single afternoon in Lincolnshire.
A country roughly the size of a mid-sized US state somehow contains a desert, a subtropical island garden, and the oldest university in the English-speaking world. The numbers don’t add up â and that’s exactly the point.
In this video, we explore:
â The Lincolnshire weather station that recorded 40.3°C in July 2022, the first time British temperatures ever crossed 40 â in a country famous for grey drizzle
â Dungeness in Kent, officially classified as Britain’s only desert, with less than 20 inches of rain a year and a nuclear power station sitting on the shingle
â The island garden on the Scilly Isles that has grown palm trees and proteas outdoors, without artificial heating, since the 1830s
â Wastwater in the Lake District, where the lake floor sits below sea level because glaciers carved the basin deeper than the ocean coast
â The Porch House in Stow-on-the-Wold, serving travellers since 947 AD â already a working inn when William the Conqueror arrived
â A working guillotine in West Yorkshire with recorded use going back to 1286, around 500 years before the French built theirs
â The Wiltshire mound built in 2400 BCE that’s been excavated for centuries with no one finding a burial, a purpose, or an answer
â The Newcastle chemist who demonstrated a working light bulb ten months before Edison, then took Edison to court in the UK and won
â A 1986 law making it a criminal offence to handle salmon “in suspicious circumstances” â never defined, still on the books
â The statute from 1313 that technically makes it illegal to wear armour inside the Houses of Parliament, never formally repealed
