Hello, and welcome to the Diary Days & Dates newsletter for paid subscribers. It follows on from the free-every-Friday edition to cover the next six months: Monday 4 August to Monday 22 December, or International Clouded Leopard Day to the last day of Chanukah.

This week, I was still in La Palma, and I went to a local fiesta, ate and drank at my local microbrewery, and made pine needle tea, from local trees.

Thank you for the support you give me by being a paid subscriber: it’s really appreciated, and enables me to create better newsletters – for all subscribers.

If you know someone else who’d like Diary Days & Dates, you could give them a gift subscription.

Want a customised calendar?

Sick of scrolling past irrelevant (to you) dates in these newsletters? I can create a customised calendar focused on your chosen subject area: £60 for a six-month calendar; £100 for a full year. I’ve done this for individual subscribers, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, a couple of charities and an NHS team. Health, fashion, drinks, environment… Tell me what you want…
