Fun Ways to Get Fit (No Gym Required)
Let me guess… You over-indulged throughout the Christmas period and vowed come January to transform yourself into a true picture of health? Yet, by the time new year came around, you had remembered that green juices were actually quite revolting and the mere thought of entering a gym sent chills up your spine? Thought so! Well, you’re certainly not alone. Approximately one in five of us set ‘getting fit’ or ‘losing weight’ as a new year’s resolution each year, yet only half stick to it. We think it’s time for this to change! If you’re the kind of person who’d sooner master the science of time travel than keep up a…

It’s the year to #LiveaLittle
Turning our back on 2017 has been the easiest break-up ever 😘 We’re happily waving goodbye to some of the most ridiculous trends known to man (avo-lattes and fidget spinners, need I say more? 🙄) and drawing a line under what we can only describe as some disagreeable world events. However, despite last year’s turmoil, we’re resolved to make 2018 better. Unlike our ex, it promises to be HOT… and that isn’t a global warming joke. A post shared by Sarah Andersen (@sarahandersencomics) on Dec 30, 2017 at 7:34am PST This year, forget the boring old resolutions. Sure, you could sack-off sugar or abstain from alcohol (even though they are the only…

The Bucket List – Aerobatic Flying
Our last Bucket List, A Silverstone Single-Seater Experience with Badger GP, was a rubber-burning speed fest around a world-famous track. This time we left the ground far behind with Aerobatic Flying. It’s just one of our heart-stopping Flying Experiences available across the UK. On our continuing quest to help fun-lovers tick items off their bucket lists, we sent one of our favourite bloggers to test out this Red Letter Days gift experience. Milly, of Mini Adventures, is a bona fide wanderluster, London-lover and all-round adventurer. She’s been to far-flung corners of the planet, chronicling her envy-inducing activities, but flying a plane was something she had yet to try out. Luckily for us, she…

Things We Love About Christmas
With Christmas fast approaching, things are in full festive swing at the Red Letter Days office. Desks groan under the weight of sugary mince-meat snacks, a glittering tree welcomes guests and gaudy jumpers have been retrieved from the back of wardrobes (where, arguably, they should stay). The celebratory mood is contagious, bolstered by London’s recent blizzards, and people are already dreaming about gravy-soaked dinners chased with prosecco and charades. In honour of this extra-special time, we asked our management team what they love most about Christmas. From nights tucked up in front of a film to full-blown family affairs, the list is overflowing with festive cheer! 🎅 A post shared by…

#RLDChristmas: How Does the Nation Celebrate Christmas?
Christmas – it’s the most wonderful time of the year! Though celebrated by millions of people across the UK, the true meaning of Christmas is interpreted differently by the population and each individual has their own unique way of marking the special occasion. Our #RLDChristmas Twitter chat and data research found that while some families take the opportunity to go all out and some have age-old traditions that have been passed down from generation to generation (the cheesier the better), others prefer to keep it as more of a low-key affair. The same can also be said about how early people begin their festive celebrations (is November too soon?!) and the habits people…

Our Top 10 Famous Birds (the Feathered Kind)
From falconry fun to penguin encounters and owl evenings, it’s fair to say we’ve got a bit of a soft spot for experiences of the feathered kind around here. With so many British birds of prey roaming our skies, we’re a nation that loves watching our birds. And we’re not the only ones – while the internet as a whole seems to have a fascination with owls, it turns out that a lot of our best-loved fictional characters and famous sidekicks have been birds. It’s no surprise that so many people want to get up close to these animals in person, be they famous birds or not. So whether you’re watching children’s…
