Can't help but feel a bit defensive about our great city here, particularly on culture, music & art. But hit the nail on the head regarding the joined-upness (a tram would help the visitor flow / navigation) & access to the water (at least in the west, there's lots in the east!)

Making food from scratch can be great for the body, soul, planet and pocket. Even better when you buy the ingredients locally. Hummus is a great example of a dish that is so, so much better when you make it yourself. Give it a go! shoplocalsouthampton.com/pos…

"In a city with so much green space to choose from, it can be hard to see the wood for the trees. Embrace the abundance: visit as many as possible. "
This week's Suburban Safari takes Katie to Southampton's Freemantle Common, to admire some of the trees.
