A classic cheese from Piedmont, Tomino is produced using only full-cream cow's milk from the province of Cuneo. It is soft, delicate, with a slightly savoury flavour. Best paired with the classic bagnt verd. Also excellent with fruit jams or mostarda.

I've been reading about the endocrine system recently. It's all completely fascinating. I'm used to the nervous systems by now, these huge networks of messages zipping back and forth around the body, electricity hopping between nodes and the atomiser kiss of synapses firing. But then here's a separate network and separate messages: hormones, glands, slower and somehow more tidal.

This stuff has folded itself into my thoughts on Mini Motorways, I think. Mini Motorways is the follow-up to Mini Metro, an absolute classic that sees players coaxing subway systems to life from a few nodes and a few lines of colour. Deep down it's about managing the flow: making sure stations don't fill up with passengers, making sure everyone gets where they want to go fairly briskly.

Mini Motorways is very similar - at least on the surface. You still have to connect nodes together to get people from A to B, the whole thing's still gorgeously sparse and accompanied by a soundtrack of humming, clicking, pinging and shuffling, even the camera works the same way, steadily moving outwards as your network grows, yet at some magical pace you can never actually notice.

But motorways are a different kind of network to subways. They abstract differently. And they ask different things of you. I am still learning just what they ask, and even so, I am already deeply in love.

Real talk: it feels wrong to play this game on any map other than Los Angeles. Los Angeles is where motorways have found their truest expression, I think, in the spaghetti tangles, sure, but in those sinuous arcing elevated roads, too, soaring through canyon and subdivide, taking you forward towards a centre that, as a friend once pointed out, is always suggesting itself while never actually appearing.

So load up Los Angeles and start connecting. There are big buildings, which I think are called stores. They connect to small buildings, which are houses. Such is the elegance of the design that the pitched roof of a house can be suggested by two coloured strips and nothing else, while the heft of a store is delivered through its surprisingly large shadow. Anyway: houses can connect to roads from any angles, but stores can only connect from one or two points. Houses must bend to the stores' wills, in other words, and these things will shape the layout of the city.

And it is the layout of the city. Subways, travelling beneath the surface of things, often hint at the shape of a place, but they do not really give a true sense of its warp and weft. Does London really look like a bottle laid on its side as the tube map suggests? But in Mini Motorways you are drawing the surface of things to a much greater extent. Connecting coloured houses to the same colour of store requires a trip into the build mode, where graph paper overlays everything and roads are prodded into existence in a way that's much busier than the easy lines of Mini Metro. Those lines were basically the nodes they were connecting. Here, a road must go around a house, around a store. It must curve to avoid other things. I end up with a lot of rib cages, a lot of clavicles. The network looks organic.

The end-game is the same, though. Every week you get a new choice of pieces to play with: extra roads, traffic lights, bridges, motorways themselves, which can soar over the normal streets connecting distant points for when you're really in a jam. A good city will have lots of cars of different colours buzzing around really good, useful roads that offer a range of destinations. Clogging, however, is still death: people stuck at a store with no way out, getting angrier and angrier until the game is over.

It's fascinating that a game that feels so similar to Mini Metro should feel so different to play. In Metro speak, this one is all about the lines, where they go and how much stuff you have to extend them. To switch between Motorways and Metro is like trying to learn two languages at once when you're already well into middle-age. But to play them separately in extended sessions is to see how simple ideas like connecting people and places are not that simple at all. You can approach them in different ways - and in doing so you will reap different pleasures.

A popular alternative to a free-standing greenhouse, a small lean to greenhouse is a compact structure which leans and fixes onto a wall, as the name suggests. This can be a suitably stable garden wall, the side of a garage or, more commonly, the exterior wall of a house.

This classic lean to greenhouse model comes with 4mm toughened safety glass as standard, the same glass which is used for domestic double glazing units. This provides superior heat resistance and durability, especially when compared to cheap plastic panels.

As opposed to free-standing greenhouses, small lean to greenhouses have no glass at the back as they are designed to be placed against an outside wall. So they only have three sides and not four. But there is no difference to what can be grown in either.

As they are fixed to a wall using stainless steel screws, our classic small lean to greenhouses are extremely stable, even in high winds. However, in windy conditions, do remember to ensure all of the glass panels are slid shut.

Although there will be plenty of heat radiated from the rear wall, you may want to consider adding additional warmth in the coldest of months, or if you are growing a crop which is particularly susceptible to low temperatures.

As well as the ideal environment to start off seedlings and harden off young plants, you could choose any number of flowers, herbs and vegetables, from tomatoes and chillies to courgettes and winter lettuce.

Originally conceived as a private collection, our inventory ranges from midcentury automotive legends to future classics of the early 1990's. Whether you are a passionate automotive enthusiast, an investor looking to diversify your portfolio or simply looking for a valuable family heirloom, Tomini Classics takes pride in collecting the best and finest the market has to offer, all under one roof.

The wildest fantasy for any hardcore petrol head would be to see in the flesh, a car that has adorned his or her bedroom wall as a poster for the longest time. And if that fantasy materializes, it would be nothing short of pure bliss. What if I told you that this can indeed become a reality? Well, not just one, but a whole bunch of classic exotic metal that too all under a single roof. Say hello to Tomini Classics, a haven for car lovers and literally stuff what dreams are made of. It is very hard to put down the experience of the place in words but I will try and give it a shot. Read on.

The Tomini Classics showroom is located at Umm Suqeim Road in the Al Barsha area of Dubai, UAE. It is part of the Tomini Group who also has businesses in shipping. I met up with Miguel Llorente, who is the Assistant Manager at Tomini on a sunny but breezy Monday morning. Welcoming me with a big smile on his face, he showed me around the collection and shared some interesting stories on some of the cars as well.

Nrburg - MINI enthusiasts and motorsport fans are eagerly awaiting the debut of the highly anticipated New MINI John Cooper Works. It is set to make its first appearance at this year's 24 Hours of Nrburgring, one of the toughest endurance races in the world, challenging drivers and teams to conquer the iconic Nrburgring-Nordschleife over a grueling, day-long battle of speed, skill, and reliability.

The new petrol-powered MINI John Cooper Works, cloaked in a bespoke camouflage designed by the MINI Design Team, pays homage to the iconic red and white color schemes used for classic Minis in motorsports in the 1960s.

Celebrating its world premiere in fall 2024, the New MINI John Cooper Works marks a significant milestone in MINI's commitment to innovation and heritage. In a bold move, the new MINI John Cooper Works lineup, developed to push the boundaries of speed and agility, will be available in both petrol and all-electric versions.

The second entry will be the beloved black MINI John Cooper Works #474 manual transmission, which showcased its prowess by securing a podium finish at last year's 24 Hours of Nrburgring, proving its mettle against fierce competition in the VT-2 category, cementing its status as a formidable contender in endurance racing.
