Portrait shot of My Weekly fiction editor Susan WatsonI’m off on holiday soon and as we’re looking to have a UK break, it might be the perfect chance to explore some of the hidden gems in our travel feature on page 42. I love discovering something a little unusual or off the beaten track, and a place I’d love to visit one day is the Italian Chapel on Lamb Holm in the Orkney Islands. Created by Italian prisoners of war, it features glorious frescoes inside – my dad told me all about it when I was a child and I’ve wanted to visit ever since. Do write in and tell me about your own hidden gems! Have a great week and enjoy this latest issue.

I'm a sub-editor and particularly love working on cookery, fiction and advice pages - I feel I should know all the secrets of eternal life, health and happiness by now, but hey, we all need that regular reminder!
