Of all the ways to raise money for charity, this has to be one of the best! It’s National Doughnut Week, when every doughnut sold by participating bakers will include a donation to The Children’s Trust, who provide care and rehabilitation for children with multiple disabilities. Mmm doughnuts!

Win two nights in a fairytale setting!

This week we’ve paired up with Unique Home Stays to offer one lucky winner and their guest two nights of bliss at Pixie Nook in north Cornwall, the perfect romantic getaway! Pixie Nook is a Grade II-listed cottage, which blends country charm with kitschy appeal. It’s tucked away in the mythical-sounding village of Warleggan, which happens to be twinned with Narnia, just so you know. We reckon that as you wind round the country lanes, you’ll be able to feel magic in the air. As if that wasn’t enough, there’s even a cedar hot tub in the garden. What could be better than that?

Family fun

Today is the United Nations’ International Day of Families. This year the theme is ‘Ensuring work/family balance’ – which we think is code for ‘sneak off early from work and spend more time with the people you love!’

Be beside the seaside

Did you know that nowhere is Britain is more than 70 miles from the sea? If you haven’t had a trip to the beach yet this year, why not make today the day? You can enjoy the simple pleasures of paddling, sandcastles and maybe even an ice cream!

In the village of Abbotsbury, here in Dorset, today, they’re celebrating Garland Day. An old May Day celebration, it involves local children weaving flowers into garlands, which are carried around the town. If you’re down here in Dorset, it’s worth a visit.

There once were some cereals from Dorset…

Lovely lilies

The traditional flower for May is lily-of-the-valley. In France, posies of lily-of-the-valley are given as love tokens. We think that’s a sweet idea: why not pick a bunch for someone special today?
