The big sleep

We’ve always said that the simplest pleasures in life are the best, and they don’t get much simpler than a lovely long lie-in. No matter how busy your weekend, we’re sure you can make a little time to catch up on your shut-eye.

Here comes the sun!

The cheerful sunflower is one of our favourite garden flowers. Why not plant some seeds today and they’ll be taller than you are by the summer!

Celebrate Mother Earth

Today is International Mother Earth Day, proclaimed by the UN to promote harmony with the natural world. You can celebrate by heading out into the countryside to get back to nature, or by caring for the planet with something as simple as recycling or finally getting around to insulating the loft.

Build a bed for beneficial bugs

Encouraging beneficial insects into your garden is nature’s alternative to pesticides, and a bug box home is one of the best ways to tempt them to stay. They’re simple to build from scraps of wood, so why not have a go at making one today?

Watch the skies

On this day in 1961, Yuri Gagarin made the first manned spaceflight aboard the Vostok 1 spacecraft. It’s the prefect excuse for a spot of stargazing this evening.

Be prepared for April showers

This month is, of course, renowned for its wet weather. We reckon that you can either spend all your time complaining about this or just embrace it and invest in a lovely new umbrella and some colourful wellies. After all, March winds and April showers bring forth May flowers!

Be egg-ceptionally creative

It’s Good Friday, so why not spend some time today in the traditional pastime of decorating eggs? It’s great fun if you’ve got kids at home, and it’ll take you right back to your own childhood!

Don’t be fooled!

Yes, it’s that time again! If you’ve fallen for a tall tale or two this morning, you have our sympathy. By the way, have you heard that they’ve taken the word ‘gullible’ out of the dictionary?

One a penny, two a penny

Hot cross buns! When we think of Easter, we tend to think of chocolate, but hot cross buns are arguably even yummier! They’re best of all served straight from the oven, so why not have a go at making a batch today?

Watch pigs fly

If the weather’s fine where you are today, spend a few minutes sitting in a park or garden and see how many cloud animals you can spot drifting by.
