Nougat Day

Satisfy the sweet tooth on Nougat Day and declare it a day for not counting calories! Heck, satisfy a whole mouth of sweet teeth and smile all the way through bites of the delicious mixture.

Celebrate the ode to nougat by opening those all-time favorite candy bars that fill with the tasty confectionary. A mixture of honey, sugar, nuts and more, nougat has never been more deserving of its own day.

The 3 Musketeers and Baby Ruth bars are share-worthy choices; put them on a platter and hand them out to hungry neighbors. Join in the sugar high too, as any good neighbor would do. Downing one or two of the nougat-filled chocolate bars has a sweetness written all over it. Oh, come on, who wants to miss a calorie-free day?!

Any Charleston Chew fan sings the praises of this day – well, after the swallowing the nougat first! Sweet days are here, sweet days are here.

Go Birding Day

Nesting in the middle of spring is a day that is dedicated to celebrating the wonderful ways of our feathery friends.
If you’re a fan of cheeping, flapping, pecking and swooping, then Go Birding Day should certainly appeal.

On a serious note, many of our best-loved species, such as the common house-sparrow are currently under threat, so Go Birding Day is also a chance to draw attention to the plight of some of our best-loved species.

You can celebrate Go Birding Day on your own, or with family and friends. You could also alert your local primary school, who may be keen to take part. Suggested birding activities include:

• Hanging up bird feeders, and learning about the different sorts of food loved by various birds.
• Taking photos of birds that you can see in your garden – or local area if you don’t have a garden.
• Visiting a local nature reserve.
