Those ‘last two weeks in August’ whether in Cornwall or a Spanish Costa, Bournemouth or Brittany, were memory makers. So, it’s no wonder that we seek out that nostalgia as grown-ups and remember the jolly times and fun places of holidays past. A trip to the seaside puts a smile on everyone’s face; on a sunny summer’s day, the beach is a place where people are pre-disposed to have fun, take time off, spend time with family and friends, share a picnic, play games and eat ice cream. And it’s these simple pleasures that send us home refreshed and relaxed. Ready for the year ahead. Worth remembering too that we can do all of these things anywhere – a river dip instead of a sea swim, a garden firepit supper is as enjoyable as a beach barbecue and a city park provides the people-watching opportunities of a promenade or pier. Jolly holidays are a mindset rather than a destination.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eYou can subscribe to The Simple Things \u003ca title=\"Subscribe to The Simple Things magazine\" href=\"https:\/\/www.icebergpress.co.uk\/subscribe-choice-tst\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.icebergpress.co.uk\/subscribe-choice-tst\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Simple Things","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43884379963608,"sku":"TST August 134","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/5118\/7538\/files\/TST-AUGUST-134-Cover.jpg?v=1689673678"},{"product_id":"flourish-volume-2","title":"Flourish Volume 2","description":"\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFlourish\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eVolume 2: Wise Ideas for Living Well\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eA new wellbeing bookazine from \u003cem\u003eThe Simple Things\u003c\/em\u003e.

By the water there’s time to notice the small stuff; rock dwellers at the foot of a sea cliff, glistening seaweed, paper boats set sail on a still pool. Of course, in August we’re unlikely to have a beach to ourselves, unless we head for a picnic as the sun sets, or are passing through on a long-distance walk. Early mornings reveal flotsam and jetsam left by the overnight tide, offering artistic inspiration and food for thought.

While we may covet a hyggelig cabin in Norway or the Welsh hills, the same comforts can be found at home, too. Maybe it’s a place to curl up to write or read, baking in a steamed-up kitchen, the cocoon of hot water or even an eyrie atop a tall tower, from which to view the world with fresh eyes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere are plenty of magical sights in January, from the grateful birds at a garden feeder to deer gliding through bare trees, frosted mornings and hellebores flowering against all the odds.

Allowing ourselves to give in to the cosy temptations of home is much needed; cooking that soothes, lamp-lit rooms, the comfort of a cat (or two) and a gentle armchair project. Early in the new year is also a good time to take stock of our own wellbeing – perhaps try a Tarot tea party as a prompt to think about your plans and emotions differently? But in order to use this time to heal well we also need to look beyond snug pastimes and into the wider world. It’s lucky then that this month offers celebrations involving valentines or pancakes and festivals from Candlemas to Carnival, Imbolc to Lunar New Year. These events give us opportunities to remember, respect or adopt customs and traditions that see us seeking out social nourishment. From there it’s a small step to making changes, nurturing feelgood friendships and maybe even joining a community project.

Maybe it’s learning a language, finding the joy in enough or taking inspiration from a glimpse through the keyhole of others’ places and spaces. It’s a good time to peek into the mirror for a fresh look at you and what you want to say to the world; be it through a badge you wear, something proudly homemade or the food that you cook and share.
