The newly accessible French coastline, green-fingered forays and outdoor screenings and concerts at stately homes
Take me there: Quimper, Brittany
With its wild coastline, surf beaches and fishing villages, Finistère in Brittany is often hailed as the French answer to Cornwall, minus the traffic jams and public schoolkids. From next month a new BA flight from London City to Quimper will make this fascinating region, steeped in Breton culture, more accessible than ever. For somewhere stylish to stay, try one of five houses renovated by British couple Claire and Andrew Bernard (frenchberry.com), from a château gatehouse near Quimper to a rustic-chic stone cottage on the Crozon peninsula, a short stroll from one of Brittany's best surfing beaches. Flights start 30 May, from £65 one way (ba.com).
Travel clinic: spring gardens break
The dilemma My mother and I are keen gardeners. Can you recommend somewhere for the weekend in May with lots of gardens to visit?...

"Life is long. Opinions change." -- Robert California
The new CEO's words of semi-reassurance to the Scranton employees at the end of "The Office's" season premiere will be ones I try to keep in mind going forward. Because while James Spader is a very interesting addition to the show, I'm less sure about the new man in charge at the branch.
(That's your signal for a pretty big spoiler coming. So if you haven't seen the episode yet, go elsewhere.)
That man is one Andrew Bernard, and it's a decision I'm not yet sure about. Andy has frequently come off as Michael Scott Lite for much of his time on "The Office" (and certainly post-anger management training), and on first blush it feels like the show is trying to keep that same dynamic of the branch manager being a guy that everyone (more or less) likes but doesn't necessarily respect.
