Staying In
Watch Dutton Ranch
If you’re a diehard Yellowstone fan who has long yearned to see how Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser)’s love story plays out, we have good news. A release date has finally been announced for the long-awaited sequel, Dutton Ranch, which follows the lovebirds as they settle in Texas to start a new life. The couple have long been fan favourites – both as individual characters and for their ride-or-die, decades-long romance. Rip is the ruthless but fiercely loyal cowboy with a good heart; Beth is the wild, unapologetic family matriarch who will stop at nothing to protect the ones she loves. Together they help one another heal from their trauma, and their love remains unwavering despite the tumultuous landscape in which it was built. But can they make it last in South Texas where, as Paramount summarises, ‘blood runs deeper, forgiveness is fleeting, and the cost of survival might just be your soul’? The first two episodes are available now on Paramount+, with new episodes airing weekly on Fridays.
Going Out
Visit London’s Magnolia Bakery
Yes, that Magnolia Bakery. The New York institution of Sex and the City fame has landed in London via a three-week collaboration with Café Ciel at Raffles London at the OWO, running from 19 May to 10 June. The Grand Courtyard – already one of London's most beautiful spots – gets a Chelsea Flower Show makeover for the occasion, transformed into a blooming garden setting for the run of the partnership. On the menu there’s a limited-edition collaborative selection alongside the legendary classic banana pudding, which has been a New York obsession since 1996. Café Ciel itself is worth the visit regardless: the elevated brunch restaurant sits within the OWO's stunning Whitehall building, and this feels like the right moment to finally book a table. Running 19 May – 10 June, Raffles London at The OWO, 7 Horse Guards Avenue, theowo.london

Psssst…
An English shrub rose has been named after David Beckham. It’s set to be launched by David Austin Roses at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show this week – a gesture from Beckham’s daughter Harper, who wanted to mark his 50th birthday with something enduring.
Whatever You Do, Don’t
Be afraid of boredom: learning how to embrace it can be a superpower. ‘In a culture that is almost terrified of stillness, boredom may be one of the last remaining doorways back to the self,’ says biodynamic psychotherapist Fiona Arrigo. ‘Boredom is not an absence, it is a threshold. Beneath boredom lies creativity.’
