Does it tick the boxes for nutrition, calories, taste, joy, sustainability, convenience, instagramability, home-madeness, locality, community support, etc., etc… ?

An English Picnic
Growing up, an English summer was not complete without a picnic. Every child looked forward to their school holidays, but the summer break was particularly magical…six weeks of fun, sunshine and outings. I know England is universally joked about for wet weather; but my childhood memories of summer include sunny days and long evenings sitting in the garden until 10pm, when darkness finally laid its blanket over us. I remember day trips to the beach with buckets and spades, plastic flags, donkey rides and ice creams. Then driving home sandy, salty, tired and happy. Castle explorations and rambling in the woods hunting for blackberries also feature in my memories. Another popular pastime was water fights with old washing up liquid bottles with the neighbourhood children; there was usually some incident where detergent hadn’t been totally removed and ended up in someone’s eye, but they were fun times, filled with simple pleasures.

Summer By The Pool
I let out a sigh as my feet dangled in the cool water. The sun was bearing down on me, creating beads of sweat along my forehead. I glanced up at the clear, blue sky and pulled my hat tighter around my head. The sun was strong and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. Perfection.

Gluten: Is it beneficial or harmful? Here’s how you can find out
Gluten, to the untrained palate, sounds like the name of some medieval king whose exploits are long forgotten by now. In actuality, gluten refers to a group of proteins found in common grains like wheat, rye, and barley. And while you may think that gluten is something you can live without if you’re on a diet or suffering from an ailment like celiac disease, experts aren’t so sure that it’s as harmless as you might believe it to be.
