1 week ago The moment I knew: 10 days after we met, I wrote him a marriage proposal

When Daniel Clarke locked eyes with Nick Pelomis, there was an immediate spark. As their time together started to run out, he put pen to paper to express how he was feelingFind more stories from The moment I knew seriesIn 2006 I was working as a theatre producer in the UK, and I was presenting a show at Adelaide Fringe festival called The Bogus Woman starring British actor Sarah Niles. I was standing outside the theatre in Adelaide when I first spotted Nick. He was with a mutual friend, Eliza, who introduced us.We made eye contact and I was immediately drawn to him. I thought Nick was extremely handsome; I remember his beautiful hands and his gorgeous thick hair. It turned out we shared a lot of mutual friends, as Nick was an actor. Eliza later told me she had a premonition that me and Nick were going to fall in love and get married – this was before gay marriage was even legalised in the UK. Continue reading...

2 w. ago ‘All of Sussex is laid out before us’: walking a new trail in the South Downs national park

Perfect for a weekend getaway, the Petworth Way takes in historic estates, welcoming inns and spectacular viewsThere are many ways to make an entrance, but lurching into a pub full of smartly dressed diners while windswept, muddy and more than a little frayed wouldn’t be my first choice. At 7.30pm on a sunny Sunday evening, the Welldiggers Arms – a country pub just outside Petworth in West Sussex – is full of people tucking into hearty roasts, the glass-walled restaurant overlooking glorious downland scenery, the sun all but disappeared behind the hills. For my husband, Mark, and I, it’s more than a stop for supper; the pub marks the halfway point on our two-day walking adventure along a brand new trail, the 25-mile Petworth Way.Twenty-five miles may not sound like much (I have keen walker friends who would do it in a day) but, for us, it’s the perfect length, with plenty of pubs along the way. The first leg, from Haslemere to Petworth, covers countryside we’re both entirely unfamil...

3 w. ago Trump or no Trump, Europe’s relationship with the US will never recover | Nathalie Tocci

Optimists cling to a faith in the old alliance, but the best we can achieve is an amicable divorceIs the transatlantic rupture temporary or structural? Is Donald Trump the cause of the rift, or is the US president only a symptom of underlying trends? Optimists latch on to the hope that the stability we have lost can be restored post-Trump. Having spent the past few days in Washington, I doubt it.Even in recent history, things were not quite so bad for the transatlantic relationship. The current tensions make the first Trump administration look like a walk in the park for Europeans. It is one thing to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal, which Trump did in his first term. It is quite another to bomb Iran and give Israel the green light for its war against the regime.Nathalie Tocci is a Guardian Europe columnist Continue reading...
