A final bid for freedom: making the most of the last of summer

If you're in the UK, you've probably been noticing the same thing as us: the weather is feeling truly autumnal. We're wearing more socks, jumpers, and layers than we'd like for the last couple of weeks in August.

We'll get excited about September, autumn, and back to school soon (we promise!). But right now, with the bank holiday in sight, we just want to make one last bid for freedom and summer.

So whatever the weather is doing outside, wherever you are, we're sharing some ideas and tips for a summery bank holiday. You don't have to go anywhere or trail AirBnb for last minute getaways to the Med. Just bring some summer vibes into these last few days of August...

String up the lights for dinner

Get that festival feeling, whether it's in your garden or your kitchen, by stringing up the fairy lights or festoon lights. Get friends over, eat good food, turn the music up, and laugh into the night.

Have a final summer photo session

Grab some summer-themed photobooth props, a Polaroid (or just your phone), and get snapping!

Get family or friends involved for the summer party you never had until now, and imagine you're in Barbados, even if you're just in your front room. Pineapples and flamingos never looked so good.

Once you've got the photos, a crafty afternoon with the laptop and a new photo album can help to extend the lovely memories you've already made this summer.

Make ice cream sundaes like they're going out of style

Is there anything as synonymous with summer as ice cream? Probably not. Go wild and get your favourite flavours, toppings, sprinkles. Splash out for the most decadent summer ice cream bowls.

Nicole Kidman

Hi everyone my name is Nicole Kidman from Las Vegas and I am here to also give gratitude to Dr Isikolo whom God used to savage my situation and restore the joy and happiness in my home. I lost my husband to a lady abroad when he went to work in the same region where she lives. I never knew all that happened till a friend of mine sent me photos of both together and it was known to me after then that it was the reason why my husband grew cold towards me and left me behind. My husband was hypnotized and mind controlled and I knew everything when I contacted Dr Isikolo when I searched for help and found none. He assured me of his return and having our love and happiness restored back which he did and the result started manifesting after 48 hours. Now I have my man back and I can’t thank Dr Isikolo enough for his honesty and support. Just text him via WhatsApp +2348133261196 or email him via: isikolosolutionhome@gmail.com or read more about him via his website (https://isikolotemple.com)
