 Edinburgh Zoo's live webcam of the rockhopper penguins
Edinburgh Zoo has 24 rockhopper penguins who are easy to spot among the rest of their penguin colony. Look for their spectacular yellow feathers and bright red eyes. They do not waddle like other penguins, they hop from rock to rock, making them particularly fun to watch 🐧
 The Royal Albert Home
The Royal Albert Hall has been around for the nation for almost 150 years and in these extraordinary times closing their doors was the best way to look after the world. But why should that stop them from bringing you some of the world’s most talented artists?
The Royal Albert Home will see artists sharing their work from their homes through their free streaming programme.
 Baked citrus pears and apples
A healthy dessert as a treat is sometimes just what you need. If you have fruit such as pears or apples to use up, consider baking them in the oven with some spices. Fruit that is a bit past its best will still be fine in this recipe. This delicious heart-healthy dish is a perfect warm dessert for cooler evenings.
 Virtual tour of The British Museum
When it comes to virtual tours, you are spoilt for choice at The British Museum. As well as a Google Street View tour of the museum's exterior, there is one which features several of its exhibition rooms. Each room spotlights a particular exhibit of interest, with links to further information about the artefacts.
