[Ad – Gifted Products] Every other Monday we have a board game afternoon at our local Geek Retreat, and this time, we played Snackaroo – which has really fantastic characters!

Robin and Amelia both agreed these were fantastic cards as well, so we were excited to play.

When in Canada, I needed a place to eat breakfast each day before the event I was attending. This was a work trip, and due to time zones, I woke up quite early and quite hungry! Thankfully, I ended up eating breakfast at OEB Breakfast Co for both of the breakfasts I had in Canada, after going the first time with my co-worker.

I must say that OEB Breakfast Co did have a lot of fantastic sounding drinks, but I am a huge lemonade lover, and ended up getting lemonade every time.

Everyone knows about St Ives, Whitby and Tenby. They’re lovely, sure, but they’re also rammed. Every summer, the same handful of coastal towns get plastered across social media, recommended in every magazine and bookexd up months ahead. Meanwhile, some of the most beautiful parts of the UK coastline belong to villages that barely get a look in.
I’ve spent years hunting down quieter spots along the coast, and I keep coming back to the same thought: the villages nobody talks about are usually the ones that stick with you. So here are a few of my favourites. These are the ones I’d point anyone towards who wants salt air, good food and a bit of peace without battling for a parking space.

Only 54 percent of the more than 7,800 supplement and research-compound brands assessed in a 2026 industry analysis carry verified third-party testing credentials. In a research supply category built almost entirely on trust between supplier and buyer, that figure means nearly half the market is still asking researchers to take purity and identity claims on faith.
