With June - and the official start of British summer - just around the corner, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on May's best bits. This month brought with it the Eurovision song contest (check out our guide to the winning nation here...spolier alert!) and a long-awaited bank holiday weekend. We spent the down time reading our newly-published guide to Hokkaido, pouring over our travel literature collection, and brushing up on our colouring skills. We discovered the best beaches to visit in Sierra Leone, where to go to get your wildlife fix in Botswana, and how to craft the perfect Iceland itinerary. Hilary Bradt's brand new memoirTaking the Risk finally hit the shelves, and she's been busy speaking at events up and down the country since. You can find out more about her upcoming appearances here. Last, but certianly not least, ticket sales opened for 50th anniversary event in September - we hope to see you there!
