A flurry of bets, flutes of Champagne for all and a menagerie of over the top head gear - that's horse racing at Royal Ascot! The 2015 meet got underway yesterday (Tuesday) and as usual, it was the inevitable mix of Royalty, tradition, teeny weeny jockeys and some fine thoroughbreds both on and off the track. What immediately caught our eye was the mini media frenzy about Princess Zara.

Finally we are starting to see some proper summer weather in the UK and with it comes the start of festival season. Kicking off with the Radio 1 Big Weekend that took place in Norwich over the May Bank Holiday weekend, it's now full steam ahead for a succession of live music, DJs, art and performance to take you right through to autumn. So, having lived through those student festival-going years, we thought we'd have a little look at the best (but not necessarily the biggest) gatherings to be seen at this year.

So there we were just adding a new promo deal for our London bread making classes to our website (down from £99 to £39 - bargain!), when we started getting all nostalgic about that famous Hovis advert. You know, the one with the young boy who trudges up the steep hill with his bicycle to deliver the bread? Here's a reminder for you..
