The Glastonbury of Meatballs
Don't forget, you've still got time to get to Grottaglie in Puglia, Italy for their annual Sagra della Polpetta, or meatball festival. From September 6th to 7th, local townspeople will be selling insane numbers of delicious morsels from streetside stalls: big meatballs, small meatballs, long meatballs, spicy meatballs...some as big as your head!
104 Weekend Days + 20 Holidays + 8 Bank Holidays
= 132 Days Off...
Imagine having a full-time job that gave you nearly 19 weeks of holidays a year. Newsflash - if you work in the UK, you do.
Every year you get 52 weekends, 20 statutory leave days and eight bank holidays - that's 132 days there for the taking.
You could kick back and relax, take up a hobby, have an adventure, or all of the above.
The possibilities are endless. So don't think that every year is just 365 days of the working grind - we're here to inspire you to make the most out of every last second of that fabulous free time.
