 Gratitude Scavenger Hunt
It is always a great idea to try and remember the positive things in life. How about reminding each other of what you’re grateful for? This Gratitude Scavenger Hunt is perfect for kids and adults to start finding little things to be thankful for and focusing on the good around us.
 RHS School Gardening have lots of summer holiday activities
The RHS Campaign for School Gardening team are sharing activities for families and schools. There is something for everyone, including most recently teaming up with Smart Energy GB and TV Presenter, Helen Skelton, to create a checklist of 42 fun and energy-saving activities for you to take part in, one for each day of the holidays!
 Mediterranean-style chicken casserole
Why not bring the Mediterranean to your kitchen this summer, with this yummy chicken casserole, using plenty of everyday items such as chicken stock, garlic and pepper.
 Birdsongs to help soothe you
Listening to nature, in particular bird song, can help lift your spirits and remind you that wildlife can be soothing and like a friend to you. Sit back, relax and listen to some calming birdsong from UK Nature Gifts.
