Welcome to my new monthly post - make the most of May. I have been thinking for a while about making the most of the better weather and lighter nights and I thought there is no better way than a monthly bucket list.

This is my way of making sure I don't let the month go by without looking back at the end of the month thinking where did the last few weeks disappear to. I wanted my list to include lots of outdoor activities, making recipes with seasonal and organic ingredients and I am planning a road trip for the end of the month.

I am going to make sure I do a monthly 'make the most of' post at the beginning of every month and I will let you know how I got on at the end of May. I'm really looking forward to it.
