Take a look at our Xtra section which brings you a wide range of feature articles every week.
This week's features include:
BOOKS: Wimpy Kid creator Jeff Kinney has been to the White House and hob-nobbed with American presidents. But, as he tells Xtra, his heart's still in his hometown.
GARDENING: Tips on how to make your Christmas indoor plants last into the new year with a little TLC - plus, find out what else needs doing in the garden this week.
HEATH: A lingering cough or cold can be extremely irritating, but many of us are asking our GPs for antibiotics too soon, rather than waiting for the virus to run its course. Xtra visits the doc to find out more.
CELEBRITY: Playing Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit is the biggest role of Martin Freeman's career but he's not looking forward to the inevitable exposure that it will bring him, as he tells Susan Griffin.
