LandLove Magazine May 2018 Edição anterior

May always seems like a long month as spring is ending and we eagerly await summer’s sun. However, while Mother Nature is in that in between stage, we’ve thrown ourselves into full on summer – we’ve had enough of this up and down weather! To get into the summer mindset, we started thinking about one of the best things about the season -- the food! Turn to p.42 for a mouth-watering selection of easy to make ice lollies. Not just your standard flavours though, we’ve gone all-out and found some new combinations you might want to try; how does hibiscus or watermelon lollies sound? We’ve also put together a delicious picnic spread for you to try your hand at, designed specifically for you to enjoy as a pack up and go feast on the beach or in the park. You can find out how to make it by flicking to p.46. After you’ve had your fill – if you can manage it after that banquet – then it’s time to get walking as May marks National Walking Month (NWM)! Created to make Britain’s streets safer, it’s a great excuse to take a few extra steps this month. We’ll be using NWM to get out and about with this adorable fluff ball, Farley, a 16-week old mini schnauzer puppy! He likes to visit the LandLove team, and we’ll be stretching his little legs on some short walks – and running after him as he scurries excitedly around the office. Turn to p.106 to find out more about the cause, and how to get involved. If going on a ramble isn’t for you, but you still want to get up close to nature, turning to p.86 could be the start of your summer adventure, as the RSPB’s Wild Challenge is back and we have all the details on how to get your first award.
