Welcome Hello and welcome to this year’s Mum’s Summer Survival Guide!
What a varied and exciting summer we have to look forward to with the London 2012 Olympics taking place next month! To make the most of this fantastic occasion we’ve selected six sports for you and the children to watch, have a go at and enjoy!
We had great fun baking recently see page 38
But, if you are already suffering from ‘Olympicwash’ and the only running you want to do is away from the whole thing, then check out our family holiday feature on page 41.
As usual, we’ve put together another great series of features that we hope will give you and your family bucket loads of alternative inspiration this summer – we’ve got BBQ’s, woodland walks, gardening fun, swimming and some delicious recipes. In fact, we’re sure there’s at least one or two activities in here to suit every taste. You’ll also fi nd some terrifi c opportunities to win some genuinely useful stuff too, not least a carpet cleaner from the Rug Doctor! All this and much more – not too bad for a free magazine, even if I say so myself!
On health issues, with more and more families affected by allergies and food intolerance, we have two informative and enlightening features that really are ‘must-reads’ from Allergy UK and Coeliac UK, both full of advice for anyone affected by either condition.
Finally, if you are one of the millions of families planning to improve your living space this summer, or are considering taking advantage of the fi nancial incentives of installing a renewable energy system in your home, then you should take a look at the Survival Home features towards the rear of the magazine.
Thanks as always go to our editorial contributors for their advice and recommendations and to our advertising partners and most importantly to you for picking us up.
Be sure to visit

We look forward to seeing you again in the autumn for our next issue – in the meantime, here’s to a great British summer to all of you!
Best wishes, Victoria Howdle, Editor
