Ah, the summer hols. Endless days stretching out, ripe for filling with all the things you’ve vowed you’ll do all year long (learn a language, read the tower of books by your bedside, switch off, make dens with the children).

Which is odd, when you think about it, because the scalp is skin – and skin that has been quietly putting up with heat, hard water, dry shampoo and SPF residue all summer.

Growing medicinal herbs is not only a rewarding way to connect with nature; it also offers a gentler, more seasonal approach to wellbeing. The good news is that, whether you have a sprawling country garden, a raised bed or simply a handful of pots outside the kitchen door, many of the most useful healing herbs are surprisingly easy to grow.

The so-called ‘fricy’ trend – fruit unexpectedly put with spicy or savoury ingredients – has become one of this summer’s most addictive and viral food fixations. It’s an obsession driven not only by TikTok but also by the recipe-sharing engines of Instagram Reels, Pinterest boards and Substack food newsletters. Fruit is suddenly everywhere it once wasn’t.
