Things to do in August

With the heat of mid-summer hopefully behind us, August is a time to enjoy those longer warmer evenings in your garden or at the allotment. Whether it is a session tackling those pesky weeds or just sitting down with a glass of wine and watching nature go by whilst the sun goes down, the only thing you really need to do is enjoy this time.

Things to do:

1. Nothing.

Oh, there are plenty of things you could be doing but really, take a bit of a break (maybe a bit of weeding if you are really bored) and enjoy what you have around you.

However if you really feel the need to do something then the folk below have plenty of things to keep you occupied.
