Baby, it's cold outside. But let's get out regardless. Make beautiful ice scenes, discover snowdrops, spend 1000 hours outside, and join in wintry folk traditions. Plus cosy ideas for dark afternoons, hack Veganuary, grow microgreens, and plan your cultural 2026.
Frosty walks, advent kindness, finger knitting and pine-needle biscuits. Simplify your Christmas for a stress-free festive season.
As the leaves turn to golden and russet hues, our cosy new autumn edition arrives — full of nourishing reads, recipes to try, and places to explore 🍂
As days grow darker, you might need more impetus to get outside. Try making a journey stick, hunt for chestnuts, watch the sun rise or search for majestic seals. Or stay inside to make a Day of the Dead altar, watch films with a message, or buy nothing!
It's a time for doing; harvesting apples, mushrooming, lighting Samhain fires and preparing for winter. Find ideas to fill your half-term and illuminate darker nights; eco-friendly Halloween costumes, welcoming simmer pots, Diwali crafts, raves for Deaf families and sparkling light festivals.
