The latest lockdown has many wondering how best to stay busy and take care of themselves. Here are some tried and tested ways to pass the time, stay connected and make lockdown a little more bearable.

Museums throughout the country have made tours of some of their most impressive exhibitions available online for viewing at home.
Some of the institutions who have done so include The National Gallery, the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, and Nottingham Contemporary.
GARDENING
With Spring around the corner, now is an ideal time to prepare your garden for the warmer months ahead.
February is a great month to plant bare root roses and lilies for beautiful summer colour, as well as strawberry plants, raspberry canes and blackberries.
