The October half term is almost upon us and while a stay at home break is on the agenda for some families, many lucky others will be packing their bags in preparation for their next family holiday abroad, in what is one of the busiest weeks for family travel in the year. But why do approximately 2.7 million people start their trip stressed out?
The Printworks and the Hard Rock Cafe, Manchester, are celebrating their second annual honey harvest, with 213 jars of Manchester's finest #LiveFromTheHive honey, made by the city's hard-working honey bees.. The bees are situated on top of The Printworks, in the much-celebrated rooftop eco garden. Originally launched in 2012, the rooftop garden now hosts four hives – housing approximately 320,000 bees in total.
Congratulations to winner Tracy Jenner (Surrey).
