36 SEE A SHAPE IN THE CLOUDS
A map of Britain? Homer Simpson? A flabby dolphin? Send us a picture of the cloud that caught your eye on your walk and tell us what you see and you can’t believe we can’t too.
37 DUNK YOUR HEAD IN A STREAM OR LAKE
You haven’t known refreshment until you’ve dunked your head in a cool pool on a hot day. Shrinks your scalp so fast it’s practically an instant facelift. Show us your sopping mop!
38 TURN YOUR TONGUE PURPLE
Bilberry grows on heaths and moors, and their tongue-tinting fruit looks like small blueberries. Pleasant raw, even better stewed with a bit of sugar. Tongue out so we know.
39 PUT A DRESSING GOWN ON A TRIG POINT
These familiar concrete pillars have long since retired from cartographic duties – shouldn’t they be lounging in a dressing gown listening to The Archers by now? Make it right.
40 STRADDLE THE BORDER
Feel what it’s like to be a giant – with a foot in two countries or counties or otherwise divided zones. Share the photo proof and tell us on which side(s) your head and heart belong.
