Even Incy Wincy enjoyed an early morning shower while we were out watering the Goodlives site 🌱💦

Did you know? Watering plants early in the morning is best during hot weather it gives roots time to absorb moisture before the sun causes too much evaporation ☀️

A fresh start for the plants… and our little eight-legged visitor 🕷️

☀️ Did you know that hot weather can have a real impact on our mental health? It can lead to increased irritability, anxiety, and even worsen existing mental health conditions. Not to mention, it can mess with our sleep and make it harder to concentrate.

But don't sweat it, we've got some tips to help you stay cool and keep your mental health in check during those scorching days:

1️⃣ Seek shade during peak sun hours and take cool showers or baths. Fans are your friends, but remember they might not be as effective when temperatures exceed 35 degrees Celsius.

2️⃣ Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! 🥤 And try to avoid drinks that dehydrate you, like alcohol and excessive caffeine.

3️⃣ Stick to your regular sleep schedule and engage in relaxing activities during the cooler hours.

4️⃣ Be mindful of your mood. Practice relaxation techniques and don't hesitate to reach out if you're feeling overwhelmed.

5️⃣ Be aware of heat exhaustion and heatstroke. If you or someone else experiences symptoms, seek medical help immediately.

Remember, it's okay to not be as productive on hot days. Be kind to yourself and take the necessary steps to stay cool and hydrated. "

🎄 Christmas doesn’t have to cost a fortune or cause stress.
Starting June 1st, we’re running a series of FREE short courses to help you plan ahead, save money, make beautiful gifts, and enjoy the festive season on your own terms.
We’re kicking things off with the Credit Union joining us on 1st June 2026, 10–12, to talk about savings, budgeting, and practical ways families can prepare ahead for Christmas.
No pressure. No judgement. Just practical ideas you can actually use.
More information on additional courses and festive workshops will be shared later in the year as we count down to Christmas 🎄

Did you know?
Asparagus teaches patience! While you can spot shoots early on, it takes around 3 years before an asparagus bed is mature enough for a proper harvest.

The good news? Once established, those tasty spears can keep producing for up to 20 years!
