From the joy of an ice cream at the seaside, or a picnic and games in the park, to eating soggy sarnies huddled in the car while it buckets down outside, it would be fair to say that British summertime can be a bit of a mixed bag. So this issue we’ve made it our mission to help you have the best summer ever (p24), with brilliant ideas for activities, classic treats and top tips for making the most of that picnic, barbecue or trip to the beach while the sun shines, as well as some quick ideas for ways to have fun indoors when the weather isn’t at its best. We’re also celebrating the season with a delicious summer menu (p39) that’s perfect for a street party or a get-together in the garden with family and friends.

PICTURE OF HEALTH Your tip about the power of personal photos to lift your mood [The STAR Joys of Spring, April]is L E TTER true. I recently visited my 91-year-old uncle in hospital; he’d stopped speaking and had all but given up on recovering. But I was determined to brighten his evening, so I persisted in sharing family news. Still he didn’t respond. Then I remembered the photo I’d brought with me – I showed it to him and we reminisced about the day it was taken. I saw an immediate transformation and, to my amazement, he spoke. We went on to have a good chat and he was discharged the next day. Thank you.

Marlene Greaves, Greater London ON THE MONEY What a great article Money Lookouts [April] was. We hear about money scammers and fraudsters on a daily basis. Happily, this article covered all bases and was full of excellent tips on how to be cash smart. Thank you for producing such sound advice.

Sophie Hyam, West Midlands

HEDGEHOG FRIENDLY As a supporter of the British Hedgehog Preservation Society, I was thrilled by your feature The Joys of Spring [April], which offered lots of helpful hedgehog hidey-hole info. Other ways to help hedgehogs are to leave out meat-based pet food, dried mealworms, unsalted peanuts and water. I’d also like to thank Tesco for advertising Hedgehog Awareness Week (1-7 May) in my local store.

Jane Neville, East Yorkshire

AVOCADO IN DISGUISE I’ve just discovered your magazine and I love the recipes for what I call ‘proper real-life food’.

I’m an avocado fan, so was intrigued when I saw the Chocolate and avocado mousse [Spring clean, April]. I secretly tested it on my husband, who usually screws his face up when I mention avocado. He loved it and didn’t have a clue!

Strawberries The British strawberry season runs from March through to October.

Strawberries belong to the rose family, along with raspberries and blackberries.

Sunlight helps the strawberry plant produce natural sugars, which gives these ruby berries their sweet flavour.

Look out for delicious varieties in store, including finest* Driscoll Jubilee, Driscoll Elizabeth and Eves Delight – great with soft cheeses, such as Brie or Camembert.

Samphire

SAMPHIRE AND CRAB SALAD

This bright sea vegetable has a crisp texture and salty flavour. The most common variety is marsh samphire (pictured), which grows in wetlands.

When choosing samphire, look for fresh-looking stalks. Avoid any that have started to wilt.

Although samphire can be eaten raw, it benefits from brief cooking.

Treat it as you would asparagus – wash under cold running water, then boil or steam for a few minutes.

With a taste reminiscent of the sea, samphire works particularly well with fish. Try it with pan-fried trout, seabass, salmon or shellfish.

Serves 4 Takes 15 mins Cost per serve £2·41

* * *

2 x 115g packs marsh samphire 150g (5oz) petit pois (defrosted, if frozen) 100g (3½oz) broad beans (defrosted, if frozen) handful rocket leaves 2 tbsp olive oil For the crab 200g (7oz) white crab meat 75g (3oz) crème fraîche ½ lemon, zested and juiced, plus extra wedges, to serve

1 Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Add the samphire, peas and broad beans and cook for 3-4 minutes, until just tender. Drain and refresh under cold running water. Pod the broad beans, if you like.

2 Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the crab with the crème fraîche and lemon zest and juice.

Season to taste.

3 Arrange the samphire, bean and pea mixture between 4 plates. Divide the crab between each and top with some rocket.

Drizzle over the olive oil and lemon juice.

Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over.

Tenderstem broccoli With its thin stalks and small florets, Tenderstem is a cross between traditional broccoli and Chinese kale.

When choosing Tenderstem broccoli, go for firm stems with crisp florets.

Tenderstem is versatile and easy to cook. Try it roasted with a little olive oil, add it to a stir-fry, or enjoy it raw and finely sliced as a delicious crudité.

Spanish peaches These summery stone fruits have velvety skin and sweet, juicy flesh.

Peaches are delicious raw, but also taste great baked into pies and tarts, or lightly caramelised on a barbecue and served with ice cream.

Choose vibrant fruit that yields to the touch when gently squeezed.

3 Sprinkle the peach flesh with the brown sugar. Melt half the butter in a frying pan.

Add the peaches, cut-side down, and cook over a medium heat for 3-4 minutes, until golden. Turn over, add the remaining butter and cook for 3-4 minutes more.

Radish With its peppery taste, this pink root vegetable is great for adding flavour and crunch to salads.

Radishes come in many varieties and can be red, white or black.

The fiery pink skin of a British radish has a distinctive, peppery flavour, while the inner white flesh has a milder taste.

Not only does this bite-size vegetable taste great raw, it can also be added to stir-fries for an extra crunch.

* *

1 Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. In a roasting tin, toss the radishes with the oil, thyme and bay leaves; season.

Roast for 15 minutes.

2 Meanwhile, make the sauce. Gently warm the crème fraîche in a pan over a low heat.

Stir in the blue cheese until just combined, then add the chives. Transfer to a small dish.

Spanish melon Also known as piel de sapo – which translates as toad skin – this darkskinned melon has pale green flesh and can reach the size of a football.

With its sweet flavour and slight crunch, piel de sapo pairs well with smoked meats or creamy cheese.

Choose hard melons that have a yellow hue to the skin with dense webbing. The heavier the melon and the denser the webbing, the better the fruit.

To prepare, cut the melon open and scoop out the seeds with a spoon, then slice the flesh from the skin.

salad leaves R ANGING IN FL AVOUR FROM MILD TO PEPPERY, THESE VER SATILE GREENS ARE A FIRM SUMMER FAVOURITE – LE ARN ALL ABOUT THEM HERE

EAT

Look for fresh, bright, healthy-looking leaves. Lettuces, such as Romaine and little gem, should have crisp leaves and a firm heart. Avoid any that are wilted or have brown-edged leaves.

Keep salad leaves in the bottom drawer of your fridge in their in-store packaging or a paper bag. If they need washing, do it just before serving to prevent them turning soggy. Use within seven days.

Salad leaves make a surprisingly tasty addition to soups and smoothies, and are a great base for loads of hot and cold dishes.

Try lettuce leaves braised (as below), or as an alternative to bread in an Asian-style wrap.

TOM AMERY, MANAGING DIRECTOR OF THE WATERCRESS COMPANY Tell us about your job We produce around 13 types of salad on our farms in Dorset and Hampshire, and supply Tesco with baby leaves and watercress.

What are the best conditions for growing?

Most salad leaves grow best when we have cool nights and warmer days. Rain is also handy as it’s best to irrigate naturally, but we can water from sprinklers if needed.

The conditions for watercress are slightly different, as we grow the crop in spring water running through the beds.

What’s your favourite way to eat leaves?

I like them in smoothies – especially a mix of spinach, watercress, apple, banana and pineapple. I enjoy watercress in stir-fries – the leaves wilt but the stems stay crunchy, so they can take the place of noodles.

How do you harvest your crop?

Harvesting is a very quick process – it starts at 5·30am and we finish by 9·30am.

The leaves are then chilled within half an hour, and we aim to get them into stores within 24 hours.

Why are salad leaves so popular?

They’re available all-year round and have lots of flavours, so work well in lots of different dishes. For example, wild rocket in a toasted sandwich tastes different to when it’s in a salad, and adding olive oil to watercress helps to calm down its peppery heat.

C HO O S E

Va r i e ti e s ROMAINE

Also known as Cos because of its Greek island origin, this hearty leaf has a long, oval head with tightly packed crisp leaves. It has a subtle sweetness and is commonly used in a Caesar salad.

LAMB’S LETTUCE

These soft, rounded leaves get their name due to their resemblance to a lamb’s tongue. The dark, velvety leaves have a distinctive flavour with nutty notes that work well with dressings.

LITTLE GEM

ROUND LETTUCE

A smaller variety of Romaine lettuce, this has rich outer leaves and a delicate, compact heart. The small, crisp leaves work well as a scoop for fillings such as pulled pork or mince.

Also known as butterhead, round lettuce has soft leaves, which grow in a large loose head, and a sweet, buttery flavour. Use it in sandwiches, or pair with delicate dressings in salads.

WAT E RC R E SS

ROCKET

With its thin, spiky leaves and strong peppery flavour, rocket is great in salads, stirred into pasta or gnocchi at the end of cooking, or used to garnish pizza.

This perky little leaf is a member of the mustard family and is strong-tasting with deep peppery notes.

It’s delicious in salads when mixed with milder leaves and also makes flavoursome sauces and soups.

H appy days

R

ain or shine, summertime is all about getting out there and seizing the moment.

We’ve got tips and tricks aplenty to help you make the most of every second, from picnicking like a pro to creating your own outdoor cinema, plus brilliant food ideas.

THE PERFECT PICNIC Enjoy National Picnic Week (11-19 June) with our pointers, below, and visit tes.co/ picnichacks for more ideas.

WATERPROOF YOUR RUG with an old shower curtain – great if the grass is a little damp. Visit tes.co/picnicblanket for a tutorial.

PORTION OUT SALAD into individual containers, then eat straight from the box.

BRING A TRAYBAKE ALONG for an easily transportable pud.

Simply cut into slices before you leave and cover with clingfilm.

PACK UNBREAKABLES, such as plastic plates, jugs, tumblers and cutlery. Bring a tray to rest your drinks on, too.

FIND PICTURE-PERFECT picnic spots at nationaltrust.org.uk/ lists/perfect-picnic-spots.

TIME FOR TEA What could be better than a cream tea? Cream tea in the garden! Take it outside for some alfresco fun: Whether you prefer your scones Devon-style (cream before jam) or the Cornish way (cream on top), fresh is always best – whip up a batch with our easy recipe at tes.co/scones. Or on a hot day, you could swap scones for cream-tea-inspired strawberry ice cream – see our recipe, below.

When it comes to the perfect cuppa, researchers at University College London found that loose tea leaves provide the best flavour. They advise using a teapot, and leaving it to brew for two to five minutes.

Give your tea party a vintage-feel by using mismatched crockery in different colours and patterns.

Throw down a pretty tablecloth and a few napkins, then string up bunting to help set the scene. Find more hosting how-to’s at tes.co/teahost.

Make your sandwich fillings in advance, but only assemble just before serving to prevent bread drying out. Cut the crusts off and slice into delicate fingers. (Check out our sandwich recipes on p46.)

C LOT T E D C R E A M A N D ST R AW B E R RY I C E C R E A M Serves 6 Takes 30 mins, plus cooling and freezing Cost per serve 55p

In a pan, whisk together 250ml (8fl oz) whole milk, 1 x 227g pot clotted cream and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Heat until almost boiling, then take off the heat. In a bowl, whisk 3 egg yolks and 75g (3oz) caster sugar until thickened. Pour the hot milk mixture into the eggs, whisking as you go, then pour into a clean pan. Stir over a gentle heat for about 10 minutes, or until you have a thickened custard. Pour the custard through a sieve into a freezerproof bowl or plastic container, cover with clingfilm and leave to cool for 30 minutes.

Freeze for 2-3 hours, then remove and whisk to break up any ice crystals. Return to

the freezer for a further 2-3 hours.

Meanwhile, in a food processor, whizz 1 x 227g packed hulled strawberries until nearly smooth. Set aside until needed.

Remove the ice cream from the freezer, mix again, then gently swirl through the strawberry mixture to create a rippled effect. Freeze for 6 hours or until solid.

Remove from the freezer 5 minutes before serving, and serve with shortbread biscuits.

BACK TO NATURE Harness kids’ natural urge to explore with this scavenger game from Play the Forest School Way by Peter Houghton and Jane Worroll (Watkins, £12·99) in your local woods. It’s the perfect way to keep your children entertained while enjoying some fresh air.

Before you set off, think of things commonly found in your chosen location – such as birds, logs and flowers – and sensations or experiences, such as feeling the breeze on your skin, or listening to birdsong. Make bingo-style clue cards of these items for each child to take on their hunt.

When you arrive, send them on a scavenger hunt to cross each item off the card. Younger kids may need a little guidance, while older ones might enjoy a time limit. For more forest fun, check out the free printable games at tes.co/natureprints.

LICENCE TO GRILL Heading out to the park or beach for a barbecue?

Keep it safe (and legal) with our do’s and don’ts for firing up the grill in public spaces: Check with your local authority for rules regarding barbecues in public spaces. As well as some beaches, some local parks and reserves allow barbecues, too.

Be sure to use a portable charcoal barbecue, on raised legs, to prevent any

26

damage to grass or stones underneath. Disposable foil tray barbecues are banned in most public spaces, so don’t risk it.

Pick a downwind spot away from others enjoying the outdoors. If space is limited, be aware of those around you.

Keep children and pets away from the barbecue and never leave it unattended.

Have a bucket of water nearby for emergencies.

Douse the coals in water when you’ve finished cooking and ensure the barbecue is cold before you attempt to move it.

GARDEN PARTIES If you have the outdoor space, try hosting one of these fun events: HOLD A MINI FESTIVAL complete with music and lighting. Put up a colourful tent as a base for the children, have a list of games ready for them to play, and get everyone involved in compiling a music playlist.

For some festival ambience when the sun sets, use solar-powered lights or lanterns. Discover creative lighting ideas that can transform your garden at tes.co/lighthacks.

MAKE A SPLASH with water-based games. Draw a bullseye on an old bed sheet and attach it to a tree.

Add some food colouring to water guns, a different colour for each

ENJOY A LITTLE MOVIE MAGIC come nightfall with an outdoor home cinema. A sheet can act as your screen – try using white blackout material used for blinds or curtains – and attaching it to a wall. It’s easier of course to sling a bed sheet over your washing line, but it may not reflect the light as well. See what works best for your outdoor space. You can hire a projector from around £50 per day (visit proscreens.co.uk), and plug your laptop or DVD player into it.

Bring down the cost by getting your mates to chip in. Then provide the popcorn, cushions and throws.

TOP TIP For more summer fun, take in a classic play in a beautiful oudoor location with the Chapterhouse Theatre Company (chapterhouse.org), or enjoy an open-air movie with The Luna Cinema (thelunacinema.com).

FUN-ON-SEA Planning a trip to the seaside?

Here’s how to get the most out of it: Search for lesser-known beaches at visitbritain.com.

Anderby Creek in Lincolnshire is perfect for daydreamers – it’s home to a ‘cloud bar’, which features formation guides and reclining seats to watch clouds go by. Boasting a funicular and Victorian Pier, Saltburn-by-the-Sea in North Yorks is a must for history fans, while those seeking picture-postcard scenes should visit Tenby’s Blue Flagaward-winning North Beach.

The British beaches with the best castlemaking sand are said to be Torquay, Devon; Bridlington, East Yorkshire; and Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. Make the perfect castle by adding just a splash of water to the sand and patting your creations into shape with your hands.

2 Meanwhile, whizz all the breadcrumb ingredients, except for the lemon juice, to a fine crumb; season well. Tip onto a plate.

3 In a small pan, melt the butter and stir in the lemon juice. Remove from the heat.

4 Heat the sunflower oil in a pan. Working in batches, toss the cod in the butter, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture. Fry for 2-3 minutes, turning until golden and crisp all over and cooked through. Serve with the chips and lime or lemon wedges.

ANYONE FOR TENNIS? Most Wimbledon tickets (27 June10 July) have been snapped up, but you can still get a ground pass, which entitles you to use unreserved seating and standing areas on the outer courts. For more info, visit wimbledon.com. If you can’t make it to SW19, try these alternative ways to enjoy the event: Last year Wimbledon caterers served up 235,000 glasses of Pimm’s and 142,000 portions of strawberries.

So get in the spirit and enjoy both while watching it on the box. You could also try our lemonade (right) or our boozy twist on strawberries and cream – see tes.co/strawberrytwist.

Big screens broadcasting matches often pop up around the country, from public squares to shopping centres, so check out local info in the run-up to the tournament, then head over to one for a lively atmosphere.

Inspired to pick up a racket? Go to lta.org.uk, and type in your postcode for a list of courts where you can play for free, plus ‘pay and play’ and clubs to join. Many clubs have offers on memberships around Wimbledon time, so keep your eyes peeled.

MAKE MORE OF YOUR OUTDOOR SPACE THIS SUMMER BY TAKING INSPIRATION FROM INSIDE AND CREATING NATURALLY COSY ZONES

CHILL-OUT ZONE Design a stylish and relaxing outdoor living space (see previous page) by setting up deck chairs, or other garden furniture, and adding clever touches from inside your home – occasional tables, cushions, throws and pouffes all create a snug feel, and a durable rug makes a goodlooking alternative to a blanket.

Hurricane lanterns and colourful string lights entwined in trees add the finishing touches to this cosy area.

Top tip

If you have a metal bistro set that’s looking tired, revive it with a coat of exterior metal paint in a bright summer hue.

TOP TABLE Create an alfresco dining room with a bright bistro set and funky cushions in bold prints. Don’t be afraid to colour clash – try teaming hot pink and cornflower blue with orange and red accents. An on-trend, knitted pouffe makes a great spare seat and doubles up as a table or footrest.

S

ummer’s arrived, and for 16 million people across the UK that means the return of a runny nose, itchy, watering eyes, headaches and sleepless nights – symptoms that are part and parcel of being a hay fever sufferer.

The allergy is mainly caused by grass pollen.

It peaks on hot, dry, windy days when the pollen is carried on the breeze, which can make typical summer pursuits, such as a picnic, barbecue or a school sport’s day, miserable.

As with most allergies, the best way to control hay fever is to avoid the triggers. However, as pollen can cling to clothes, hair and fur, as well as find its way into your home, it can be difficult to avoid. Thankfully, there’s a huge range of products available both in store or online that can help you manage the symptoms, leaving you free to get on with more enjoyable things.

Otrivine Nasal Spray A sneezy, runny nose can be irritating when you’re trying to get on with your day. Otrivine® Allergy Relief 0·1% Nasal Spray* acts quickly to help relieve the nasal congestion that comes with hay fever. It contains the active ingredient xylometazoline hydrochloride that helps to open up and clear nasal passages by reducing mucus and returning swollen blood vessels to their normal size, bringing easy breathing relief.

Otrivine, £4/10ml (£40/100ml)

Sudafed Blocked Nose Spray, £4/15ml (£27/100ml)

OPTREX EYE DROPS To help sooth the discomfort of irritated eyes brought on by hay fever, reach for Optrex Soothing Eye Drops*** for itchy eyes.

Mild enough to be used every day, it contains purified water and natural plant extracts and helps to gently flush out itchy pollen particles from the surface of the eyes. Optrex, £4/10ml (£40/100ml)

PROMOTION

Top tips l Keep pollen out of your eyes with sunglasses. l Avoid being outdoors in the early morning and evening, when the pollen count is at its highest. l Dust with a damp cloth to pick up pollen easily and avoid it becoming airborne. l Vacuum regularly to remove pollen that has collected in your carpets.

4 Add the lemon zest, then discard the remaining skin and pith and cut the flesh into segments. Add to the herb mixture, squeezing out as much juice as you can into the bowl first. Stir in 1 tbsp of the oil.

5 Spread the herb mixture over the salmon flesh, then top with the second piece of salmon, skin-side up. Tie the fish together with kitchen string, tucking a lemon slice under each piece. Scatter over the spice mixture, then drizzle with the remaining oil. Scrunch up the sides of the foil and nonstick paper to catch the juices.

6 For the potatoes, slice each one at 3-4mm (⅛-¼in) intervals, cutting just over halfway down. Put the butter in a roasting tin and melt in the oven. Add the potatoes to the tin and toss in the butter to ensure the cuts are well coated. Season.

7 Roast the salmon and potatoes for 50 minutes. After 20 minutes, add the white wine or Pernod to the salmon (if using, otherwise add a little cold water), basting occasionally with the juices. Turn and baste the potatoes every so often in the butter.

Remove the salmon after the cooking time and check it’s cooked through – if not, return to the oven for a further 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to rest in a warm place. Continue cooking the potatoes for 10-15 minutes, until tender and golden.

8 Meanwhile, make the salad. Put all the ingredients in a serving bowl, along with the reserved chives, and toss to combine.

Serve the roasted salmon in slices with the potatoes and the salad.

1 Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Put the milk and vanilla in a pan over a medium heat. Bring almost to the boil, remove from the heat; set aside. Soak the gelatine in cold water.

2 In a large bowl, whisk the sugar, egg yolks and flour until pale. Stir in the warm milk, then pour into a clean pan. Warm over a low heat for 10 minutes, stirring continuously, until smooth.

3 Squeeze out the liquid from the gelatine, then whisk into the custard. Pour into a bowl and cover the surface with clingfilm; leave to cool.

THERE’S NO SMOKE WITHOUT PEAT During the whisky making process for peated malts, the malted barley is slowly dried over a peat fire, imparting a unique smoky flavour which is then reflected in the taste.

Balancing the level of smokiness with the rich flavour of the whisky is truly a distiller’s art. The result is that some peated malts are smoky while others are SMOKY.

HOW SMOKY DO YOU LIKE YOUR WHISKY?

Delicate smoke

Perfectly balanced

Intense smoke

The Ardmore Legacy is a lightly peated malt from the Highland region with notes of vanilla and honey sweetness.

Bowmore’s combination of sweetness, subtle spices and peaty smokiness leads to a more intense peated malts experience.

Laphroaig is the ultimate peat experience with a smoky, sea salt flavour and long finish.

Start by sterilising 6 x 200ml (7oz) heatproof jars – Kilner jars or jam jars with a resealable lid work well. Wash them in the sink with hot, soapy water and rinse clean. Dry in the oven for 1 hour at gas 1, 140°C, fan 120°C. Set aside. Once cooled, grease each jar with butter.

Heat the oil in a large pan over a high heat.

Add the fish, skin-side down. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 2 minutes on each side.

Cover the pan and cook for a further minute.

Turn off the heat, but leave the fish in the pan for 5 minutes (it will continue cooking).

Trout and fennel seeds Use skin-on trout fillets in place of salmon, cooking as instructed in step 2.

Omit the nutmeg and cayenne pepper in step 4 and use 1 tsp crushed fennel seeds and 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh dill in their place. Pot up and garnish with a few sprigs of dill.

Crab and tarragon Swap the salmon for 625g (1¼lb) cooked crab, skipping step 2 and the first part of step 4. Replace the nutmeg and cayenne pepper in step 4 with 1 tbsp each chopped tarragon and lemon zest.

Meanwhile, peel and discard the salmon skin.

Scatter the nutmeg, cayenne pepper, Worcestershire sauce and seasoning over the fish, then flake with a fork. Discard any stray bones.

Perfect partners

Smoked mackerel and horseradish Replace the salmon with 625g (1¼lb) smoked mackerel fillets and miss out step 2. Swap the nutmeg for 2 tsp creamed horseradish.

Pour the butter into a jug through a muslinlined sieve to catch the milk solids – this is called clarifying. Pour half the butter over the flaked salmon and return to a low heat. Warm through for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Organic Brown Bloomer, 80p/400g (20p/100g) Sliced and lightly toasted, this bloomer is a great match for the potted salmon. Spread it on and tuck in.

Watercress, £1·30/85g (£1·53/100g) Bright, fresh and peppery, watercress makes a brilliant garnish, or try a handful in a potted salmon sandwich.

While warmer days may be welcome, balmy nights can make for a restless night’s sleep. According to The Sleep Council, the ideal bedroom temperature is around 16-18°C. Independent sleep expert Dr Neil Stanley explains: ‘In order to sleep well, our body temperature has to drop by about half a degree.

This usually happens between 2-3am, and it’s called the temperature nadir (the lowest point our core body temperature reaches during the night). To lose body heat, there must be a difference between our body and room temperatures. A cooler room will absorb the heat we need to lose, but a warm room may not, which can lead to unsettled sleep.’ Sleep soundly with these top tips:

open the windows. It may actually be cooler inside your house on hot days, so it’s not going to benefit you, particularly if there’s no breeze. Also, it can let in biting insects and noise, which can further disturb your sleep.

close bedroom curtains during the day to stop the sun heating up your room. use a fan in your bedroom located near to the head end of your bed because, according to Dr Stanley, ‘The head and face are where we lose most of our body heat from, as the heart prioritises blood supply to the brain.’

change to a lower-tog duvet and wear nightwear made from natural fibres. exercise regularly, but allow time to cool down afterwards. According to The Sleep Council, exercise will raise your body temperature and keep it at least two degrees warmer for up to four hours.

drink plenty of cool, nonalcoholic drinks through the day to stay hydrated and regulate your body temperature.

have a cold shower before bed. ‘A cold shower only cools the surface, not the core of the body. Your body reacts by retaining heat, so you’ll actually warm up,’ says Dr Stanley.

‘Conversely, a hot shower means your body will work to shift the heat, thus cooling you down, which better prepares you for sleep.’

eat a heavy meal before bed.

‘As your body processes food, it burns calories, which creates heat,’ says Dr Stanley.

‘High-fat and highcalorie foods, and alcohol, are harder to digest, so avoid these for at least three or four hours before sleeping.’

stick your feet out of the bed to try to cool down. According to The Sleep Council, cold hands and feet are associated with sleeplessness. As Dr Stanley explains: ‘Your feet can be cold when the rest of your body is warm, as your blood has farther to travel to get to them, so you’ll lose little (if any) unwanted heat from your feet.’

The longer daylight hours of summer can make sleep harder to come by for some.

This is partly because when it’s dark the brain secretes more melatonin (the hormone that regulates sleep), so when the nights are shorter, that boost of melatonin – which signals that we’re ready for sleep – is delayed. Dr Kat Lederle of The Sleep School (thesleepschool.org) has studied the effects of light on sleep. She says: ‘Light is

rely heavily on ‘props’, such as eye masks and blackout blinds to get you to sleep. ‘We have evolved to follow the natural light/dark cycle, so becoming too dependent on these aids to help us sleep can affect our sleep cycle,’ says Dr Lederle.

‘I advise clients to get good-quality curtains that reduce the amount of light at bedtime, but that also allow some light into the room in the morning to help them wake up naturally.’

responsible for synchronising our body clocks with the light/dark cycle of the 24-hour clock. The body clock acts a bit like the conductor in an orchestra, as it sets the rhythm for the rest of the body, which can determine our alertness and mood for the whole day.

Ideally, our sleep routine should follow the sun, but that’s not always practical.’

Here’s how to get your body clock in sync and sleep better this summer:

keep the lights low when you’re getting ready for bed.‘Many people have bright bathroom lights, which can send wake-up signals to your body clock,’ explains Dr Lederle.

Consider installing a dimmer switch in the bathroom or using nightlights in the bedroom.

set consistent bed and getting-up times, even at the weekends.‘This helps your body clock send strong sleep or wake signals to the rest of the body.

It doesn’t need be exactly the same time, but within a 30-minute window is best,’ says Dr Lederle.

avoid screens, including TVs, phones, computers and tablets within 30-40 minutes of going to bed.

Dr Lederle explains: ‘LED screens emit predominantly blue wavelength light, and studies have shown that it is this part of the light spectrum we are most sensitive to. Using these electrical devices sends signals to the brain that it’s time to wake up. It can also affect our “sleep architecture” – the way we move through the different stages of sleep.’

open the curtains as soon as you get up to allow yourself to receive as much natural light as possible.

According to The Sleep Foundation, this will not only help to alert the brain and set you in motion for the day ahead, it will also promote sleep come bedtime.

Summer is officially here, but for many of us it can come with a touch of anxiety – our legs may not have seen a razor or wax strip for a while and our dull winter skin may feel far from silky. But fear not – here are my top tricks and product picks to help you look and feel your best, without the need for expensive salon treatments or intensive beauty regimes. Here’s to a long and beautiful summer!

B e a u ty expert SMOOTHLY DOES IT

Calcot Manor The Perfect Day Body Scrub, £4

Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula, £3·50

If you became a bit lax with your body-scrubbing routine over winter, get back into the habit, because regular exfoliating really helps towards smoother, softer skin – I love Calcot Manor The Perfect Day Body Scrub’s zesty scent and grainy texture. Skin regenerates quickly in summer, so aim to exfoliate two to three times a week, and focus on drier areas such as ankles, knees and elbows. Once you’ve applied your scrub don’t press too hard, simply buff for longer to get the best results – too much pressure can damage the skin’s surface. For very dry, rough patches, apply an intensive moisturiser, such as Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula, afterwards. For treating winter feet, try Scholl Dry Skin Instant Recovery Foot Cream, which exfoliates, too. Massage in last thing at night and slip on a pair of cotton socks before bedtime.

Scholl Dry Skin Instant Recovery Foot Cream, £5·50 Nair Argan Oil Washable Roll-On Wax, £13

WAX OFF Donning summer clothes means having a little more skin on show, and shaving your legs to where your cropped trousers sit just won’t cut it. For me, waxing is the best option in summer, as regrowth takes much longer than with shaving.

Home wax kits, such as Nair Argan Oil Washable Roll-On Wax, do the job quickly and easily, and are much less hassle and far more affordable than a trip to the salon.

Before waxing, apply a little talc to the area to absorb oils from the skin – oil prevents the wax from gripping the hairs. Smooth the wax on in the direction of hair growth, then apply your strip in the same direction, making sure to rub the strip to grip the wax. Now peel back a corner of the strip and pull off quickly, against the hair growth.

GRADUAL GOOD HAIR DAYS Summer is the perfect time to go for that effortless, just-rolled-out-of-bed style – it’s low-maintenance, and looks great, too.

Sea-salt sprays are great for creating beachy waves, and can be used on wet or dry hair.

Toni & Guy Casual Sea Salt Texturising Spray doesn’t have the sticky feeling that some salt sprays do, especially if used on wet hair. I like to spritz the ends of my hair after washing then leave it to air dry for an easy, undone look. If spraying on dry hair, twirl strands of hair around your fingers to add texture.

If you prefer to go sleek and straight, ensure hair is well hydrated before blowdrying by regularly using a conditioning treatment. I like Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Reconstructor Deep Treatment – it works its magic in next to no time. If your hair needs serious TLC, cover with a scarf or cap and keep the mask on overnight.

Toni & Guy Casual Sea Salt Texturising Spray, £7·50

Using self-tanning products can be daunting, but if you go lightly and use a tanning mitt, you should have a flawless tan. It’s easier to add colour rather than remove it, so gradual tanners help ensure you don’t overdo it. I’m loving Dove DermaSpa Summer Revived Body Lotion – it’s a great, streak-free, non-sticky formula and has a neutral scent. If you happen to get a little overzealous with application, lemon juice mixed with an exfoliator will fix any mistakes. If you’re feeling brave you can self-tan contour by applying a little more to the areas you want to push back and slim down. For example, try applying a little more self-tan to the sides of your legs to create a slimming effect, or above and below your collarbone to accentuate your décolletage. Whether rocking a self-tan or embracing being pale, you need to protect your skin with SPF – yes, even in the cloudy UK. Ambre Solaire has a great range of non-greasy sun creams, in particular I like the Clear Protect Spray SPF 30, which is a doddle to apply. To protect your face, use a specially formulated product with sun protection, such as Olay Total Effects Featherwight Moisturiser SPF 15, which is lightweight and sits nicely under foundation.

Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy in Full House, £6·49

COLOUR THERAPY Sometimes all it takes is a sassy new lipstick and a fresh coat of bright polish on your nails to create a new summer look.

My go-to summer lippie is the suits-all-skin-tones Sleek Make Up True Colour Lipstick in Fuschia, applied straight from the bullet. Then I’m ready to hit the sunshine!

Caroline ‘The coverage was fine if you applied it liberally. The best thing about this polish was the high shine – lovely for summer toes.’

Caroline ‘This was glossy on application but faded to a matte finish very quickly. But it was easy to apply and provided good coverage.’

Veronica ‘This provided a high-gloss finish, but I needed two coats to achieve an even result, and it chipped after two days.’

Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy, £6•99 Veronica ‘Care was required when applying this thin formula using the thick brush, but it provided a deep colour and sheen after two coats and it lasted five days.’

Caroline ‘This gave a smooth finish, but not the high-shine, glossy 84

I found it easy to apply and liked the wide brush.’

Yulia ‘It provided an even colour and coverage, but I didn’t think it had quite the shine a gel nail polish should have. I found the application a little messy, too.’

With around four million people in the UK living with diabetes, most of us know someone who has it. Yet the condition, where the body is unable to use glucose properly, is still hugely misunderstood. As part of its National Charity Partnership (NCP) with Diabetes UK and the British Heart Foundation, Tesco is committed to raising awareness, and reducing the risk, of Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. So Tesco is getting behind Diabetes UK’s annual awareness week, 12-18 June, which aims to help set the record straight and dispel misconceptions about what it means to live with diabetes.

You too can help spread the word and raise funds at diabetes.org.uk/diabetesweek.

To find out more, check out lets-dothis.org.uk.

Health goals With your help, the NCP has already raised £9.3 million of a £30m target to help improve the nation’s health. To achieve your own health goals, check out the NCP’s free online tool, the Let’s Do This Goal Setter. lets-dothis.org.uk

TH E TRUTH ABO UT DIAB E TES MYTH

Sugar causes diabetes

TRUTH There’s no direct link between sugar and diabetes, but indulging in the sweet stuff can make you put on weight, which is a major risk factor for Type 2 diabetes.

Sugar, however, is unrelated to Type 1 diabetes – an auto-immune condition that can’t be prevented.

MYTH

You can’t play sport

TRUTH Olympic rower Sir Steve Redgrave, who has Type 2 diabetes, proves that’s false. In fact, exercise is encouraged to help manage the condition and reduce the risk of associated complications, such as heart disease. If you’re starting a new regime, contact your healthcare team.

MYTH

You can’t eat sweet things

TRUTH ‘Can you eat that?’ is a frustrating comment people living with diabetes often hear. ‘Yes I can,’ is the answer, just as much as the next person. Sweet treats can be enjoyed in moderation, and as part of a healthy, balanced diet that’s low in salt, saturated fat and sugar.

Hold a virtual car boot sale The Shpock app (free on iOS and Android) is essentially a ‘boot sale app’ that lets you list and sell your items, with no commission or fees.

Buyers can search for items they’re interested in by area or keywords.

Be an online PA If you know your way around the internet, you could be a virtual personal assistant. This can involve anything from data entry to researching holidays, typing up meeting minutes or making reservations. You can advertise on websites such as peopleperhour.com as well as community forums and local shops – people often don’t realise they need an assistant, so you might reach more clients this way. You can charge around £10 per hour depending on your experience and the tasks required.

SEW FAR SEW GOOD If you can sew – or, better, if you can repair and alter clothes – you’re a rare breed! Earn cash by advertising your services in shop windows or online forums. Or you could ask a local dry cleaner if they need help with alterations. Expect to earn anything from £5 to £10 an hour.

LEASE YOUR GARDEN If you’ve got green fingers, sell your surplus fruit, veg and plants to locals. It’s easy to advertise on community noticeboards or online forums, or connect with other growers in your area to start a farmers’ market stall together. And if you’re not much of a gardener but have some unused outdoor space, consider letting it out as an allotment. Council allotments often have long waiting lists, so you may find a neighbour willing to pay for the use of your land. Depending on your location and the size of your garden (you could divide it into several plots), you could earn around £80 for a year’s lease (and possibly a share in the crop).

Courtesy of air freshener experts Neutradol, we’re offering one reader and a friend (both aged 18+) the chance to win a seven-night, all-inclusive holiday at The St James’s Club and Villas by Elite, an exclusive tropical hideaway on the coast of Antigua.

Framed by two dazzling white-sand beaches and warm azure seas, the resort offers a real taste of paradise. Guests can enjoy a host of water sports – including sailing, windsurfing and kayaking – explore the island’s stunning coral reefs or simply kick back and relax by one of the resort’s six gorgeous swimming pools. There’s also a spa, tennis courts, a new fully equipped gym and four excellent restaurants.

This superb prize includes return flights from London and transfers to and from the resort, where the winners will be sharing a Club Room with private balcony or terrace.

To enter, and for full terms and conditions*, visit tes.co/antigua by 23·55 on 8 July 2016.

The prize draw is open to UK residents aged 18+. Normal exclusions apply. The closing date is 23·55 on 8 July 2016. Only one entry per household. There will be one randomly drawn winner.

The prize is for two adults, staying seven nights at the St James’s Club and Villas by Elite, Antigua, West Indies, sharing a king-size bed in a Club Room on an all-inclusive basis. The prize includes return economy flights from London to Antigua (departure airport dependent on date of travel), taxes, one piece of hold baggage per person (up to 20kg) and return Antigua airport-hotel transfers. The all-inclusive prize excludes motorised water sports, diving, spa treatments, dining at Piccolo Mondo restaurant, WiFi and off-resort excursions. Prize must be taken by 10 December 2017, excluding 11 December 2016 to 30 April 2017, and is subject to availability. Promoter: Tesco Stores Limited, Tesco House, Delamere Road, Cheshunt EN8 9SL.
