Ever wished for a non-screen alternative for your kids that was equally handy but that tapped into the greatest entertainment resource of all: imagination?

Well, Exeter-based mum of three, Kate de Bass, felt the same way and has set about creating a solution.

The result is Pipity: a fledgling range of ‘Portable, Packable Play-pals’ for kids aged 6-plus to inspire and encourage imaginative and creative play, at-home or on-the-go.

All the products – dinky little A5 activity cases, portfolios and activity books – have been dreamed up and designed by Kate.

Mcguigan up for the fight

Although defeated 36-29 at rivals Wasps last Sunday, Rob Baxter's side remain just one place and one point away from the crucial top four placings.

As McGuigan acknowledged post-match at the Ricoh Arena, the...
