Some of our planet’s greatest attributes are its natural creations, from the expansive oceans that cover 70% of the Earth’s surface and the distinctive landscapes of each unique country and region, to the 8.7 million different species of animals that call our world home. The UK alone boasts countless naturally breathtaking offerings, including rugged wind-beaten coastlines, rolling countryside, glistening lakes and a fine collection of native wildlife, so you’d be silly not to take advantage. For outdoorsy types, there are so many ways to indulge their passion for the natural world and at Red Letter Days, we’re true advocates of making the most of what Mother Nature gave us.  After…

As summer approaches, it’s not just the weather that’s hotting up. May through to August is the most popular time of the year to get married in the UK, with an incredible two-thirds of all weddings taking place during this period. Of course, this May is particularly poignant in the wedding calendar, as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tie the knot, in the most anticipated nuptials of the year. At midday on 19th May, the royal duo will walk down the aisle at St George’s Chapel, nestled within the grounds of Windsor Castle. A post shared by Kensington Palace (@kensingtonroyal) on Dec 21, 2017 at 3:59am PST It’s undeniable – love…

With Mother’s Day falling on Sunday 11th March (so early this year! Is it in your diary?), it only seems fit we take this opportunity to celebrate mums everywhere. Not only did these wonderful women give us life, but their guidance and influence helped shape us into the people we are today. Who else would teach us that experimenting with hair bleaching ends only in tears or that an apple a day is what keeps the doctor away? For their worldly advice and silly anecdotes to unique little quirks and mannerisms, we wouldn’t have our mums any other way (most of the time ). In anticipation of this year’s occasion, we sent out a survey…

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…

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…

Don’t keep your festive spirit locked inside; shout it from the rooftops! Wear that novelty jumper with pride and swathe your home in bright homages to everybody’s favourite time of year. We’ve got January for scrimping and February for making sensible plans; this moment is all about gleeful Christmas decorations excess, so here’s a guide on how to make your own Christmas decorations. And if you’re going to glitz up the house for Christmas, do it right. Forget extensive tat and instead make your own unique embellishments for mere pennies.
