Your Jubilee Street Party is the perfect time to revive the good old fashioned party games – not only will it keep the children occupied, but we suspect the adults will have a whole lot of nostalgic fun too!

It's been a long time coming, but the timing couldn't be better. Having spent weeks cooped up indoors sheltering from the rain (drought, what drought??) the weathermen have promised that summer is finally here... and I'm holding them to it!

More school holidays?! What can we do apart from pray the rain stops and the Jubilee celebrations will take care of at least some of the entertainment? Fortunately Croydon can provide plenty of alternatives to keep the youngsters occupied this half term

Between April 23rd and November 30th 2012, Croydon Council will be collecting green waste from local households to compost down into soil conditioner.

Have you ever considered a hobby with a difference? Croydon will be a hive of activity on the 14th April with Croydon Beekeepers Taster day. Keeping bees is a hobby with potential to turn into a small business if you really get bitten by the bug!

Most plants are hardy little things and can cope with a few unexpected extremes of weather, but do we know how to give them a fighting chance and ensure our garden is blooming lovely this summer? If not, perhaps Plews Garden Design can help.

You can have fun visiting Croydon's beautiful Centrale Centre this weekend WITHOUT having to spend a fortune. Enjoy a fun Easter day out with the children and let them meet some new furry, spiky and slimy friends!

This week is National Salt Awareness Week, and the theme this year is ‘reducing salt - preventing stroke’. Although hospital admissions and deaths in Croydon due to strokes are below the national average, there is always room for education and improvement.
