As crisp, golden leaves begin swirling in the air, it's time to turn the page and slough off the high summer mood.
For me, this often means seeking out a way to replenish body and mind and to reboot energy with long swims in the rain and stints in hot hammams.
That's why this issue of the show has an aquatic restorative theme.
We'll discuss skincare and the future of dermatology with a pioneering doctor in the field.
We'll join a sauna social club that brings music the ritual hotbox.
And we'll talk about the legacy of nurse and fresh air advocate Florence Nightingale.
And finally, we'll dive into the beauty and inspiration the colour blue has provided artists for millennia.

And at the weekends as well, we have ambient DJs.
And the idea is to come into this space and really immediately feel like you're at home.
Legendary bluesman Robert Johnson was defining the blues as a low down, shaking chill.
The blues is a aching old heart disease synonymous with unfiltered tales of racial discrimination, hardship, love and loss.
The blues expressed pain as a form of resistance.
