Watching the morning news on TV one morning last week, I was stopped mid-spoonful of cereal when a report came on about savings. According to a study, it said, 1 in 10 people in the UK have zero savings. I let my spoon fall back into my bowl and frowned - not because that figure seemed high and that I was saddened to hear that so many people had no savings at all, but because it seemed so low to me. At 53, not only do I not have any savings now but I've never had any.

From star jasmine to honeysuckle and Oriental lilies, fragrant plants are perfect for pollinators, and add an extra dimension to your gardenFragrance is the gardening version of aromatherapy, because it's pure pleasure: it soothes the mind and conjures up past memories in a nanosecond. The scent wafting through the air is designed to lure in pollinators, and it's worth noting that nectar flows more freely in warmer, sheltered situations away from strong winds.

Like a lot of people, I got heavily into houseplants during lockdown. It was something I thought I didn’t have time for before the pandemic hit, but once I’d got a few leafy babies, I found I loved watching them grow, I loved the feeling of caring for them and seeing them thrive. And, actually, it isn’t much work at all to care for houseplants. But maybe I cared for them a little too well because now, five years later, I have a house full of huge plants and I don’t know what to do with them.

Ich hatte für dieses Jahr eine Reise nach New York geplant, aber ich mache mir Sorgen wegen der Einreise in die USA. Als Europäer haben mich die jüngsten Berichte über Reisende, die an der US-Grenze kontrolliert werden, nervös gemacht. In vielen Ländern gibt es Reisewarnungen für die USA. Deswegen fahre ich stattdessen nach Italien. Ich lebe in Großbritannien und habe die USA schon dreimal in meinem Leben besucht.

When my kids were small, I brought them to Florida for a once-in-a-lifetime trip exploring the state. On my family's second visit to the US, we headed to Texas after a cruise, stopping by the Houston Zoo and having the best Tex-Mex food I've ever eaten. As a European, I always felt welcome in the country and never worried about my visits beyond the usual travel inconveniences like long flights and tiredness.

I'd been planning a trip to New York this year, but I'm worried about visiting the US. As a European, recent stories of travelers facing scrutiny at the US border have made me nervous. Many countries have travel warnings about visiting the US. For now, I'm going to Italy instead. I'm based in the UK, but I've visited the United States three times in my life.
