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.

I read so many articles about Dr Ozigidon, how he has helped people with his powerful spell to reunite with their lost love after many years of break up. I contacted Dr Ozigidon to help me restore my divorced marriage after 5 years of divorced I still love my husband and want to be with him again. My husband divorced me because I was a barren woman of 43 years. After 17 years of marriage I could not give my husband a child, I appreciated him because he was patient with me for many years. I explained all my problems to Dr Ozigidon and he promised to help me if I am serious minded and willing to trust him. I trust Dr Ozigidon because I have heard so much about his powers. Just within 72 hours of casting the spell, my husband called me after 5 years of no contact. He told me he had been thinking about me for the last 48 hours and he wants us to come back and remarry. Thank God I trusted Dr Ozigidon to help me bring my ex husband back and he also helped me with my fertility problem. My marriage is back and I am a few months pregnant. You can reach him via Email: drozigidonhenz.spell.net@gmail.com . I thank him for his kindness.

A GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day I heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.
