Feeling at a bit of a loose end this weekend? The answer could be right here...

Maybe try it eyes-open and in front of you first, though...

Do some gardening

Gardening is a great way to get outdoors at the weekend!

If you're a city dweller, why not buy some cherry tomato or basil seeds to grow on your shelves?

Join a film or book club

These are a great way to meet like-minded people and talk about your favourite books or films!

Well, if it's good enough for the furry friends...

Make a homemade pizza

Why not make your own pizza from scratch? Sourdough bread makes an amazing base, and you can add any toppings you like.

Perfect for couples or family cooking as well!

Start a blog

Why not start an online blog? Even if it's just to record your last holiday, blogs are great for looking back on in a few years' time.

Plus, they don't go walkabout like paper diaries!

Have a go at origami

This traditional Japanese art form requires a bit of skill, so why not sit down one day with an online tutorial and try and master a few shapes?

It's so satisfying when you get it right!

Take a boat trip

Whether it's a tourist boat on the Thames, or a rowing boat on a canal, being out on the water can be very relaxing and therapeutic.

Go fishing

Take a picnic and a couple of drinks, find a quiet spot on the lake, and have a fish!

A fun and different way to spend the afternoon.

Write a letter

The lost art in a world of social media communication! Why not write to an old friend, a loved one or even an author you've always loved?

You never know, JK Rowling might actually reply!

Go and fly a kite

This dragon kite is amazing! OK, maybe we were a little bit inspired by the Mary Poppins song here, but flying a kite would be such a great childhood memory trigger.

You could even make one if you're feeling super ambitious!
