Sundays: A day to get outside for long walks, hopefully avoiding any rain showers - or hunkering down at home with a book or a film, and perhaps a delicious roast!

What does your Sunday look like? Are you out for lunch or exploring the great outdoors? Or is a cosy day at home calling?

The bank holiday is over, the weather looks set to turn, and the last days of August are upon us.

How will you be bringing this long, dry summer to an end?

Perhaps you’re preparing your children for a new term at school or getting ready to go back to work yourself. Your favourite sport might be calling you back to the pitch, or giving you a well-deserved rest after a charged few weeks.

Maybe you’re setting up a new community group or creative project, or are simply looking forward to slowing down with the coming change of season.

Let us know how September is looking for you, and if you’ve got anything coming up that the community should know about - get in touch! We’d love to write about it on our website.

With pools, lakes, rivers and sea right on our doorstep in Cornwall, it’s no wonder that cold water dips and wild swimming are all the rage amongst many communities.

We take a look at how swimming has benefited people across Cornwall, including the members of Sober Sea Swimmers - a group that started up in Falmouth to offer sea swims and friendship for those struggling with the ‘grey area’ of drinking…
