This weekend marks the start of Chinese New Year celebrations in Edinburgh, so we find out more about what’s happening from the Edinburgh Confucius Institute.

Do you know what happens to your recycling when it gets picked up? Emily Esson went along to the new visitor experience at the Altens East Recycling Centre to find out exactly what happens to all those plastic bottles. 

Nicola gets some advice of good walks and hikes that are accessible without having to drive.  

They are cute, cuddly and they love human company. Alpacas are everywhere right now from bedsheets to pencil cases, so Nicola went to investigate why we love these funny looking creatures at a trekking centre in Stirling. 

And just because the frost has set in doesn’t mean you can hang up the gardening tools! Nicola McNaughton has lots of tips and ideas for how to use this down time.
