The organisers of National Picnic Month must be rubbing their hands with glee given the amazing weather that has coincided with this month’s event. According to the experts, the average person picnics at least three times a year in the UK, but we are assuming this figure is based on the normally poor British summers. […]

With Germany out of the World Cup, it seems the path has been cleared for Brazil, now the tournament favourites, to lift the trophy. We love Brazil, but not only because of Neymar and Co, we must admit. It’s not its beaches, although they’re undoubtedly beautiful. It’s not the great cities like Rio and Sao […]
