Settle & Soothe Bath Tea
Long summer evenings are lovely, but winding little ones down at the end of them? That's a different matter. Bodhi & Fae's Settle & Soothe bath blend is a gentle, plant-based ritual for unsettled bodies and busy minds. Colloidal oats soothe dry, irritated skin while lemon balm - a nervine herb with a two-thousand-year history of calming the nervous system - helps ease restlessness, big feelings, and sensory overload. Pair it with Baby Bodhi Butter (or Bodhi Butter for us older ones!) afterwards for the full bedtime ritual: a warm soak to soften and calm, followed by quiet, nourishing moisture. Simple, honest, and made with love. Shop Settle & Soothe at Bodhi & Fae

Cooking Without the Overwhelm with Little Big Flavour Kits
One thing we hear a lot is: “I love big flavours, but I don’t have the headspace for complicated recipes.”
That’s exactly why we built our kits the way we did. Each one breaks bold, traditional cooking into simple, manageable steps — no hunting for unusual ingredients, no long lists, no guesswork. We source 16 different spices that we use in combination for our different recipes, all to achieve that real from the island taste.
You just cook, taste, and let the kitchen do what it’s meant to do: bring people together.

Kent Soft Fruit is here!
June is all about fruit at its freshest. At Myatts of Mockbeggar Farm Shop, soft fruit takes centre stage as the season gathers pace. Grown in the heart of North Kent, fruit harvested closer to ripeness delivers unbeatable flavour. Whether enjoyed straight from the punnet, folded into desserts or layered into summer pavlovas, this is produce that tastes as it should. Shorter journeys mean fresher fruit and a smaller environmental footprint.

It's Soft Fruit Season at the Markets!
June marks the beginning of the soft fruit season, bringing the first of the summer’s sweetest produce to our farmers markets. Look out for freshly picked strawberries and raspberries, along with the first gooseberries and currants of the year - a true sign that summer has arrived.
Although each of our farmers markets runs once a month, they take place at different nearby locations on different weeks. This means you can enjoy shopping with our stallholders every week throughout June simply by visiting a different market.

Farming with the Future in Mind at Quex
Quex Farms spans over 2,500 acres of East Kent countryside, and more than a fifth of that land is dedicated entirely to nature. Wildflower margins, hedgerows, wetlands and grazing marshes sit alongside the crops, creating a landscape where pollinators thrive and soils are genuinely looked after. No pesticides, no shortcuts: just thoughtful, regenerative farming rooted in the belief that healthy land grows better food. It's an approach that's been quietly shaping Quex for years, and one that underpins everything about their new seasonal vegetable venture.

Learn something new with a Quiz Trail
Quiz Trails are back with another slice of Kent history to uncover - this time in Dover. Did you know Shakespeare's Cliff sits just along from the harbour, named because the Bard was a frequent visitor to the town while writing King Lear? Or that the White Cliffs may be the reason Britain's earliest known name was 'Albion' - meaning white island? Created by a mum and two daughters who love digging into local history, Quiz Trails turn a day out into an adventure. Perfect for Dad this June.
