Not every weekend needs to be a 400-mile pilgrimage to a service-station sandwich. Stay local, do less, enjoy more.

Morning: Walk the headland

A breezy circuit over the Downs; 60–90 minutes of chalk, sky, and smugness. Pack a small flask and a scandalous biscuit.
Useful bits:

• Vacuum flask (doesn’t leak into your rucksack): https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=vacuum+flask&tag=danburyandlovejo-21
• Compact binoculars for sea-watching: https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=compact+binoculars&tag=danburyandlovejo-21

Lunch: Beach picnic (sand optional)

Keep it simple and smugly affordable. Batch something the night before so Present You can take the credit.
→ Try a make-ahead dish from The Kitchen & Larder and compost the peelings later with the help of your Garden & Allotment kit. Danbury & Lovejoy+1

Afternoon: Bookshop browse & a letter from The Study

Pick up a paperback and write a postcard while the kettle sings. (Yes, you now have a wax seal. Yes, you are that person.)
