THOSE heady summer days may still seem a long way off, but why not recapture the magic of summer with a virtual garden tour?
During the long weeks of lockdown many National Gardens Scheme venues were unable to open to the public, but the scheme’s library of virtual visits proved extremely popular.
Choose from a library of nearly 200 online gardens around the country, with donations going to the Help Support Our Nurses campaign.

Pub walks, riverside rambles and circular routes about, with several long-distance paths like the Beeches Way or Thames Path providing an additional challenge.
Check out our Local Walks page for ideas. You can also find a cross-section of Chilterns paths on Pete’s Walks website, while the Chiltern Society has a range of free downloadable walks on its website.

EVEN if the weather’s too grim to get out and about, the great outdoors can still spark your creative side.
Many local artists draw inspiration for the local landscape and natural world, as our Local Landscapes page demonstrates.
Animals, birds, landscapes – what inspires you most? It’s time to get drawing or painting…or have a read about how art can change lives, as it did for local artist Sue Graham.

BIG skies are a defining feature of the countryside and on a clear night you can see thousands of stars.
Although light pollution is a growing issue for amateur astronomers, there are still plenty of places where you can get away from the streetlights for a wonderfully clear view of the night sky.
See the National Trust’s Top Tips for Stargazing for inspiration about ways of introducing youngsters to the most common seasonal constellations.
