Sunday Best: 14 Small Pleasures

& My September List of Remarkable Reads

Welcome to issue four of The Ampersand’s Sunday supplement. In this issue: 14 of life’s small pleasures and the September edition of Substack’s Remarkable Reads.

I’m writing this from the kitchen of the adorable apartment we’re staying in whilst visiting Monopoli in southern Italy.

We’re here for a wedding in a nearby castle and a much needed break from work after recently celebrating two big launches: the release of my partner’s first fragrance and the launch of my debut novel. Both of these have been wonderfully exciting but have also led to us burning the candle at both ends a little too often!

We spent yesterday on the beach, reactivating our melanin and enjoying that “ahhh” moment. You know the one - that satisfied sigh you breathe just as your body finally relaxes. It got me thinking about so many more of life’s small pleasures and so, in this month’s Sunday Best, I’m sharing 14 of my favourites with you.
