With an outdoor bathtub on its balcony, and a wood-burning stove, proper kitchen and stylish Scandi-style furniture inside, the sleek design of the Périgord treehouse in the Test Valley is far removed from the plank-and-nails treehouses of my childhood.
Designed by master craftsman Will Hardy, the Périgord is one of four new ultra-high-spec woodland cabins on stilts adjacent to the Hampshire vineyards of English sparkling wine producer Black Chalk. Book one and you’ll find a complimentary bottle of the superb Black Chalk chilling in the fridge, ready to sip amid clouds of mist in that bathtub as the sun falls over the English countryside.

On many beaches around the Indian Ocean, keen observers may spot bits of broken pottery. Washed smooth by the ocean, these shards are in all likelihood hundreds of years old, from centres of ceramic production like the Middle Eastern Abbasid caliphate and the Chinese Ming dynasty.
Originally destined for Indian Ocean port cities, this pottery would have been purchased by merchant elites accustomed to eating off fine plates. These traders formed part of vast commercial networks that crisscrossed the Indian Ocean arena and beyond, from East Africa to Indonesia, the Middle East and China.
