Open gardens weekend | Teaching kids a lesson | Sexist crossword | Laughing like a baby
If you want to explore gardens without the crowds and expense of the Chelsea flower show (Letters, 1 June), go to the London Open Gardens weekend on 10-11 June. It’s a brilliant opportunity to visit all kinds of gardens across London – smart squares, roof gardens, allotments, etc. It is good value at £20 for a two-day ticket and provides a wonderful summer weekend.

• Re Lola Okolosie’s article (I’m a teacher – and this is why I’m not giving my son a smartphone yet, 2 January), in the late 1980s, trainers with a particular logo blazoned across them were what “everybody” had. We resisted and provided our son with sufficient funds to buy a perfectly decent pair of trainers, telling him that he was very welcome to spend his pocket money on the extra cost of the pair with the logo. It was a hard lesson.
