Our picks for this month:

Inspirational, one of our lovely members sent us this link in response to the news that we were shutting up shop. She told us it would inspire us to great things. Have to say, we thought it amazing. It makes you look at your life afresh. If you watch one thing on YouTube this year, let it be this, please: Steve Jobs

Nice Knickers, we reckon this sweet, little company is doing a marvellous job and we think they represent a much bigger idea. Most of the clothing we get in the UK comes from factories where you can’t assure the conditions of the workers. It’s time to pressure the fashion industry, this is a start: WhoMadeYourPants

Magical Music, we were introduced to this venue by a couple I matched, who then got hitched there. It’s since become a favourite. There’s a constant stream of fun events, listed here are the free ones. Check out what they have on offer. I personally recommend Fernando’s Kitchen; they played me down the aisle and entertained our guests with music as they attended our zoo wedding. They’re outstanding: Rich Mix

The start of a sizzling summer…?

Our picks for this month:

Fitness Fix, this is an unusual one to mention, as you’re all fabulously formed.  However in case any of you are hoping to hone your six-packs or tone your pins to perfection, we thought you might want to meet Nick.  He’s everything you want in a personal trainer, effective, effusive and effing funny:  Nick Crispin

Open-air Opera, one of our favourite things to do on balmy evenings is to have a picnic in the grounds of the Holland Park Opera house.  While a ticket to get inside is rather costly, as it’s open-air you can hear the gorgeous music Read the rest of this entry »

World Cup Fever:  Helping you avoid red cards…

Naked Bike Ride, this is right up our street.  Not that we’re exhibitionists, mind.  It must totally break the ice and it also encourages people to cycle, two things we feel strongly about.  So if you’re free on Saturday 12thJune and you’re feeling brave, join in: Bare-Back Riding

Dr Demartini, we don’t usually promote self-help things because you folks don’t need them.  But I recently was given a free ticket (we do get some perks!) to hear this guy speak.  He was genuinely outstanding.  The crowd were very rational, bright, professionals.  He does a lot of stuff about relationships.  The organiser has offered SIAT a 20% discount, if you enter the code “Tree”:  Love Guru Read the rest of this entry »

Election Issue: Who’s getting your backing..?

Real Treehouse, if this sunny weather brings out the child in you and, like us, you feel like rolly-pollying on the grass, licking ice-lollies and climbing trees (gently!), you should spend an afternoon here, where you can walk among the beautiful tree canopies: Kew Gardens

Tree Aid, last month we helped plant trees in London, this time we’d like you to help us plant them in Africa.  There they can make a huge impact on the livelihood of entire communities.  Read more: Tree Aid Read the rest of this entry »

We wish you an eggcellent Easter!

Treehouse Tipples, this Brixton bar may not be the easiest to get to, but it’s worth it. With the days getting longer, what better way to spend the evening than in a cosy cavern, sipping snifters…? Grand Union

Trees for Cities, we clearly love trees, but we also love cities, so we particularly love trees in cities: they break up the concrete jungle, freshen the air and remind us that nature is wonderful. So imagine our delight when we found this charity right here in the big smoke. Read the rest of this entry »

Spring is in the air, let’s put it in your step too!

Victoria and Albert, Buckingham Palace is celebrating one of the greatest love stories ever to have blossomed on Britain’s shores, that of our past monarch.  This exhibition is meant to be inspiring because their passion is almost palpable in the displays: This couple really had a fire in their belly for one another:  Art & Love

These are some of the things that have been tickling our fancy at the end of the decade…

Bikram Yoga 30 Day Challenge: Want a cheap way to get in shape after the holiday indulgence? Trisha´s a big fan, Nicky and I are yet to be convinced, but that´s because we find the farting so funny. We´d love to hear if you sign up to this and manage to complete it. You might also meet someone bendy!

These are some of the people and places that will be tickling our fancy this advent month…

St Martin in the Field Carols, if you´re still feeling a bit bah humbug about the twinkly lights and Santa´s grottos, this is one place that we guarantee will get you in the mood. Whatever your faith (or lack thereof), there´s something marvellously magical about sharing some songs by candlelight.

These are some of the people and places that have been tickling our fancy this month:

Treehouses, as you know, we love them. They make us nostalgic for the mischievous, carefree days of childhood. Sadly London, currently, doesn´t have any on the market or we´d definitely move in. But if, like us, you enjoy escaping on more original holidays, you might like to check out this inspiring site.

These are some of the people and places that have been tickling our fancy this month…

We are what we do is totally up our street. Without wishing to sound too hippy, we´re with Gandhi on the change you want to see in the world thing. If everybody started thinking: if I don´t do anything, I can´t make a difference rather than what difference can one person make? we´d all be a bit happier and the world would truly be a better place. Tell us which of all the tips you pick to do.
