Those who recognised the handwriting on the envelopes were wreathed in smiles of anticipation; those who got an unexpected missive were giddy with excitement; and those who didn't receive a single letter were crushed with the weight of their disappointment.

This week, we're...

Parenting ourselves. For the first time, more babies are being born to American women over 40 than to American teens. Don't listen to men in the comments - these are both reasons to cheer.

A luxurious Odyssey

Amalfi has always seduced visitors — with sirens, cathedrals, scenic views and its la dolce vita charm. Where else can you stay in a 13th-century hotel carved into a cliff?

The first-class lounge

The new S-Class takes the stress out of driving, while you sink into plush seats and try out the plug-in hybrid option. It's Mercedes-Benz's private suite on wheels

Here's the tee...

It's the age of buy as you binge. Lines from Euphoria S3 are on hoodies. Himesh Reshammiya caps are cool again. There are totes with The Pitt quotes. It's quick business too. Our toxic trait? Thinking we need all of it

Watch as it unfolds

Scammed by the ham

Ham has wowed ancient Rome, flavoured Chinese cuisine and is a delicacy in Spain, where it costs hundreds of dollars. So, why is India stuck eating wet cardboard?
