Much to our delight Saturday 8th of June 2019 (so you have the Sunday to recover) is a dedicated day to celebrate all things gin at various events and it’s worth a special mention in your calendar. Join us all week for some gintastic giveaways!
May is here and Summer is just around the corner! Use the bank holidays wisely and get your outdoor space looking the way you want it. It's time to mow the lawn, plant bedding and get those weeds under control. But the weather can still be changeable, so if a late frost is predicted, make sure you protect your tender plants with horticultural fleece. And watch out for pests, dealing with them before they infest your plants.
We have some exciting news! Are you ready for Summer 2019? Get prepared with our Beano & Dandy Summer Specials 2019 now available for pre-orders! The Dandy Summer Special is as much a part of summer as sunglasses, ice cream and umbrellas (this is Britain, you know!).
There’s nothing quite like going to the football with your mates, or family, or both. An away day to Scottish towns that, aside from football, you only really ever hear about when they are on the news for bad reasons. If it wasn’t for the fact that I’ve followed Dundee United there, I don’t know if I’d ever have visited Alloa, Kilmarnock or Dunfermline. But I am familiar with these places….and Methil and Coatbridge and Airdrie and Greenock…because of their football clubs.

You might have noticed that visiting your doctor isn’t quite like it used to be (now there’s an understatement!). But we still have many of the same ailments as we used to. We’re still suffering, even if we can’t talk to a doc.
Actually, while we’re on the subject of health, how are you? Do you feel well? Have you shaken off that cough? Are you sleeping well? Are your feet OK? How’s your heart? Are you eating properly? Is there anything worrying you?
