🍎 That September wave of coughs, colds isn't just bad luck. Supporting your family's immunity now, while there's still time before term begins.

Nutritionist Kim Plaza shares five simple things to start this August:

🥕 Fibre-rich swaps for lunchboxes (and your own snack drawer) 🌬️ Taking "nervous tummy" seriously, for kids and parents alike 🦠 Introducing live bacteria before the bugs do ⏰ Easing bedtimes and mealtimes back gradually 🍏 Adding more colour to the plate as we head into autumn

Britain has lost 97% of its species-rich grasslands since the 1930s. But there's still time to bring a little of it back, even from a windowsill pot.

New data from Seed Revolution has revealed the nation's favourite native wildflowers, and the Field Poppy takes the top spot. Yellow Rattle, Cornflower, Sainfoin and Oxeye Daisy round out the top five.

Mid-August to late October is prime sowing season, so now's the moment. Every patch you plant helps bees, butterflies and other wildlife.

Screen-free school holidays, anyone? 🎻
When violin teacher Amy Cunningham started a small music camp in Camden back in 2012, just six children turned up. Today The Strings Club runs holiday camps at more than 20 venues across London and the Midlands, and nearly half a million children have discovered the joy of making music together.
Children aged 4 to 11 spend their days playing guitar, violin and ukulele alongside outdoor games, creative workshops and plenty of imaginative play. No screens in sight. Just new friendships, new skills and that lovely absorbed-in-the-moment feeling that's so hard to come by these days.
