‘Shinrin Yoku’ is a Japanese noun which means, ‘A visit to a forest for relaxation’. It emerged in the 80’s as a reaction to urbanization and disconnection. I vote we add it to English and make it a thing.

"Rise of Krampus" is out!

1862. It’s after visiting hours at the Cape Misfortune Asylum - but a visitor has turned up nonetheless. Is he the terrifying Krampus of local folklore - or a madman escaped from the isolation ward? Either way, his story is beyond belief!
