We are saying goodbye to winter and hello to spring. It's been a long, wet winter. We're embracing that with ideas for mud painting, worm charming and earth-eating, but looking forward to brighter days, dyeing eggs using natural materials and celebrating Ostara and the super-rare Blood Worm Moon!
Leading parenting charity the NCT will also bring their popular NCT Walk and Talks to selected English Heritage sites.
February is a time for emerging; we peep out of our winter fug and creak open the door. Time to forage for dandelions, smile at strangers and join the muddiest of festivals. Plus a bucketful of half-term ideas, from Viking battles to joining a lip sync brawl and making a constellation in a cup.
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 🍂
