Organic cotton reduces the creation of Greenhouse gasses by 94% compared to conventional cotton production due to the absence of harsh and nasty chemicals. Organic cotton farming avoids any use of chemical pesticides or fertilisers. As a result, your skin does not become exposed to toxins that can irritate sensitive skin.

Herbs at home Three easy herbs you can grow at home. The sun is shining, the birds are singing which means it’s time to get out those gardening gloves! Not everyone is born with the gift of the green thumb. If you think it is about time to give it a go, why not try growing these three heavenly herbs? According to the Royal Horticultural Society, the best time to get out your trowel and start sowing those seeds is early Spring. Herbs can be grown in the home or outdoors - all they need is sunlight, moisture-retentive soil and regular watering!
TOP TIP
Select pots with drainage holes and pop them on a tray on the window sill.

Our three favourite herbs Easy to grow, these three herbs will help you create delicious dishes and add a kick to a classic mojito!
SUMPTUOUS SAGE Strong, bold and dynamic, Sage packs a punch with its full-bodied flavour. A little goes a long way, adding a herbal taste and warmth to dishes! Sage is one of our favourites despite it often being overlooked! It pairs perfectly with a variety of meat-based dishes (or meatalternatives) as well as Italian dishes such as pasta and gnocchi – yum!
RAVISHING ROSEMARY The perfect addition to Mediterranean dishes, this evergreen shrub is easy to grow all year round. Use in both savoury and sweet dishes. We are big fans of this gorgeous recipe Spiced Poached Pears with Blackberries.
MARVELLOUS MINT Of course, we had to include a herb that makes cocktail hour more flavoursome and fun! Mint is one of the most iconic herbs. Use it in anything from a minty mojito, a classic G&T to dips, pasta, pesto’s and more!

Easy DIY bird feeder STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL At Weird Fish, we love supporting charities that make a difference, one of our long term partners are the RSPB, a national wildlife charity. We spread the word on the fantastic work they do through our men’s graphic tees, our Artist T-Shirts. With the RSPB we are hoping to inspire you all to encourage wildlife into your garden! This is a great one to get the kids involved in and aware of the nature and wildlife around them. Here is how to make an easy DIY Bird Feeder from a plastic bottle – yay for recycling and repurposing plastic!
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
Here is what you will need to get started and make your very own bird feeder! Make sure all your plastic bits and bobs are clean (plastic bottles, yoghurt pots and milk cartons)! Plastic bottles such as a plastic water bottle Birdseed ( if you have a nut allergy please be careful and ensure your seed is nut-free) A good pair of scissors Plastic yoghurt pots or a milk carton String, Wire or Twine
11
1.
Make a few small holes in the bottom of your feeder to allow any rainwater to drain away.
2.
3.
If your feeder starts to wear out or the food in it goes mouldy, recycle it and make another one! Remember to keep your feeders well stocked, especially in winter. Birds come to rely on them and will go hungry if you forget.
Cut a hole in the side large enough to allow a free flow of seeds, but in such a way that it won’t all fall out on the ground in the slightest puff of wind, and won’t get wet if it rains.
Hang it with wire, or even a piece of strong string from a tree or your washing line.

The Tallahassee Way back in the summer of 2016, we launched what would become the iconic, 100% organic cotton jersey dress of your dreams, and yes, your prayers have been answered, this dress has pockets! Our Tallahassee dress is a year on year favourite. It is practical, stylish and can be worn no matter the weather.
Our design director Beth shares the tale that ended in the creation of the perfect day dress.
‘
I was packing for a trip to Tallahassee in Florida. It was going to be hot and as a sun worshipper I was excited to soak up some vitamin D. Packing however was not going well. My bed had been submerged by a sea of clothes. I’m organised when I pack, I knew I needed outfits that were perfect for exploring Cascades park, visiting Lake Overstreet, going out for dinner, going to museums, shopping… essentially, I was trying to cram most of my summer wardrobe in my case. When I was back at work, this experience kept nagging at me. I wish I’d had something comfortable, completely versatile, and vibrant, generally to complement my lifestyle. Sunny days makes me think of day dresses and cooling organic cotton is the perfect fabric for warmer weather. Comfort is key to all our designs, so the shape is designed to flatter and the soft fabric will make it feel like a favourite from day one. Prints require minimal accessorising, so in my opinion, they’re always a winner. I can complete the outfit by adding a pump or sandal and a block colour bag. For the Spring and Summer, prints are the perfect way to add a vibrant pop of colour.’

CHELSEA BAKER FROM BLOOM STUDIO AND WELLBEING Chelsea Baker from Bloom Studio and Wellbeing in Cheltenhen.
How did you get into Yoga? I started going to yoga classes when I lived in Australia in 2016 - not long ago at all! My dad had very recently passed away, and I was looking for a way to exercise and keep my mind off things!
about yoga philosophy, which changed my outlook on life for the better.
I returned to the UK in 2017, ready and raring to teach. I was very fresh off the yoga boat! I have It was something that just immediately made since continued to take training classes, as there me feel better. My amazing teacher would read is always so much more for me to learn. I have us snippets of inspiring yoga texts, and the trained in teaching yoga to teenagers, those with relaxation at the end would have me walking out anxiety, eating disorders and trauma. My real of the studio feeling pretty wonderful! I knew I passion is the positive effect yoga can have on wanted to teach and share what I had found with our mental well-being. others right from then. I remember thinking most of all, I wish I had this when I was a teenager! When did you decide to launch your Yoga studio? Why is yoga so beneficial? The physical part of yoga is great for both our bodies and our minds. Stretching releases tension in the body, which can build up over time - especially when we are sat down all day or experiencing stress. Yoga postures can build strength and flexibility, whilst its philosophical background and the focus on the breath is what sets it aside from other exercise classes. When we focus on our breath, either moving from one posture to another or trying to stay in a posture for a bit longer, we are aware of the present moment. As we build this awareness, we become much more in tune with our bodies, and it can help to quiet our busy minds.
I had the opportunity to launch my studio last year, which was so exciting. We opened Bloom in August 2020, after the first lockdown. I wanted to create a space that was, most of all, welcoming and inclusive. I have so often heard people say that they don’t go to yoga because they aren’t flexible enough, find studios intimidating or, worst of all, that they don’t have the right clothes!! It is so important to me that yoga and wellness are accessible to all, regardless of body type, age, background or clothes that you wear! Yoga can be done anywhere, wearing anything, by anyone.
Bloom is a space that offers classes in yoga, dance, fitness, meditation and other things that help us feel good in mind, body and soul! We regularly run special events, and we have a cafe downstairs where you can chat after/before class! We also have a lovely treatment room from The real benefit is when we see this mindful where therapists practice massage, acupuncture, awareness come into play when we’re going reiki and more! about our daily lives, not just on our yoga mat! When the world returns to normal, I am so looking How long have you been teaching? forward to running social events at Bloom such as film nights and art workshops! Community and In 2016, I went to India to complete my yoga connection is what keeps us humans going, and teacher training. This was where I learnt more is at the heart of our studio.

Top 10 books to read this Spring Picture it, sipping a piping hot cup of coffee in the garden, nothing but the sound of birds chirping to disturb you and the company of a good book – a dream, right? To help you pick the perfect company, we have put together a list of the top 10 books you are bound to want to read this Spring, from non-fiction, romantic novels, biographies and more!
The Absolute Book - Elizabeth Knox Taryn Cornick barely remembers the family library. Since her sister was murdered, she’s forgotten so much. Now it’s all coming back. The fire. The thief. The scroll box. People are asking questions about the library. Questions that might relate to her sister’s murder. And something called The Absolute Book. A book in which secrets are written - and which everyone believes only she can find. They insist Taryn be the hunter. But she knows the truth. She is the hunted . . .
The Lido - Libby Page Rosemary has lived in Brixton all her life, but everything she knows is changing. Only the local lido, where she swims every day, remains a constant reminder of the past and her beloved husband George. Kate has just moved and feels adrift in a city that is too big for her. She’s on the bottom rung of her career as a local journalist and is determined to make something of it. So when the lido is threatened with closure, Kate knows this story could be her chance to shine. But for Rosemary, it could be the end of everything. Together they are determined to make a stand, and to prove that the pool is more than just a place to swim - it is the heart of the community.

The Other Passenger - Louise Candlish It all happens so quickly. One day you’re living the dream, commuting to work by river bus with your charismatic neighbour Kit in the seat beside you. The next, Kit hasn’t turned up for the boat and his wife Melia has reported him missing. When you get off at your stop, the police are waiting. Another passenger saw you and Kit arguing on the boat home the night before and the police say that you had a reason to want him dead. You protest. You and Kit are friends - ask Melia, she’ll vouch for you. And who exactly is this other passenger pointing the finger? What do they know about your lives? No, whatever danger followed you home last night, you are innocent, totally innocent. The Wood Age: How one material shaped the whole of human history - Roland Ennos In a journey to appreciate how much wood matters – and has done since prehistory – Roland Ennos takes the reader chronologically through four key phases: the impact of wooded habits on the lives of primates; human emergence and the discoveries of fire and woodwork; wood’s role in an environment both pre-and post-industrialisation; and lastly, the possible future of wood in an increasingly technologized world. In an original and essential investigation, The Wood Age challenges the traditional model of historical development – stone, bronze, iron – and instead guide readers through a revealing and innovative wooded history of the world. innocent, totally innocent.

With These Hands - Pam Ayres Delighting her fans for more than four decades with her mischievous wit and wry observations, this is a classic collection of poems and monologues from Pam Ayres, which takes us back to where it all began. From the nostalgia of her 1950’s childhood, conjuring up images of hand-knitted swimming costumes and suet puddings, through Pam’s four years in the WRAF where she discovered the joy of performing, to poignant reflections on motherhood and watching her children grow up. With These Hands provides a profound and hilarious insight into the joys and tribulations of daily life, as recorded by the nation’s favourite poet.

So when she stumbles across a popular podcast, ‘Sorry Not Sorry’, which challenges women to embrace their inner bad girl, she jumps at the chance to shake things up. Old Charlotte would never ask for a stranger’s number, go on a blind date or buy lacy lingerie... But New Charlotte is waving goodbye to her comfort zone (with a side order of margaritas). And it turns out that good things happen to bad girls...

BERRYLICIOUS SUMMER FRUITS ARCTIC ROLL A classic dish best served with a splash of sunshine. This delicious Arctic Roll is the perfect dessert to enjoy on the porch with a chilled glass of white while watching the sunset on a warm Spring evening.
Method
1) Heat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. Crack the eggs into a stand mixer (or use a large mixing bowl and an electric hand mixer). Add 120g of the sugar and a pinch of salt, then whisk at a high speed for a few minutes until the mixture has tripled in volume and is nice and fluffy! 2) Take a large handful of blueberries (the more the merrier) and cut each in half (set aside the rest). Dot them around the lined baking sheet, cut-side down. 3) Add the lemon zest to the egg mixture and whisk for another minute. Sift in the flour, then fold in using a large spoon to keep in as much air as possible. Evenly spoon the batter over the blueberries, then transfer the tray to the oven. Bake for 13 minutes until golden and cooked through. 4) Sprinkle one of the 2 large sheets of baking paper with 10g of the remaining caster sugar. Flip out the cooked sponge onto the un-sugared paper, then flip it back onto the sugared paper so the blueberry-stained sponge faces down. Starting with the long side, roll up the spongelike a swiss roll, using the baking paper to help you. Leave to cool for 30 minutes. Put the ice cream in the fridge to soften slightly. 5) Once the sponge has cooled, unroll it and spread the jam all over. Put the frozen berries in a food processor and whizz with the remaining 60g sugar until smooth. Dot the frozen berry mixture over the sponge with generous spoonful’s of ice cream, fresh berries and the remaining blueberries (set aside some berries for serving). Leave a border around the filling,
INGREDIENTS 3 large free-range eggs 190g caster sugar 150g fresh blueberries Finely grated zest 1 lemon, plus a squeeze of juice 80g plain flour 500g tub good-quality vanilla ice cream 125g berry jam 250g frozen mixed berries 250g fresh mixed berries, any large ones halved 50g dark chocolate Fresh, unsprayed rose petals for decorating
so when you start to roll it up there’s room for the filling to spread out a little. Reroll the sponge around the filling so the 2 long edges meet. Wrap the baking paper around the roll and twist the ends so it looks like a big Christmas cracker, then pop in the freezer for 4 hours. 6) When ready to serve, toss the remaining berries in a bowl with a little lemon juice. Shave the chocolate into curls over the arctic roll, dot over the remaining berries and the rose petals, then enjoy.

27
BLUEBERRY BREAKFAST ICE LOLLIES These breakfast ice lollies are great for any time of day and are quick and easy to make on those hot Spring days! They are also a great option to help break the habit of skipping breakfast as they are light and delicious!
Method
1) Pour the blueberries into a small microwaveable bowl and heat in the microwave for 30-40 seconds, or until the blueberries have slightly softened but are still keeping their shape. Leave to one side for a moment. 2) Weigh the granola into a small bowl and place it to one side. 3) Now add the yoghurt to the bowl of blueberries and stir to combine. If you wish to use the optional honey, now is the time to add it. 4) Layer the ingredients into the ice lolly moulds. First of all, spoon a third of the
INGREDIENTS 100g blueberries 75g granola 225g plain natural yoghurt or Greek yoghurt 2tsp honey (optional)
yoghurt and blueberry mixture into each mould. Take half of the Granola and sprinkle a little into each mould. Use another third of the yoghurt and blueberries to create another layer. Now it’s time to add the final layer of granola and last of all, add the final third of the yoghurt and blueberries, leaving enough space to insert the lolly sticks. 5) Place the breakfast ice lollies into the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until frozen solid. 6) Take the ice lollies from the freezer around 15 minutes before you are ready to serve. This will make it easy to remove them from the lolly moulds.
