On 26 July, the opening ceremony of the 2024

Olympics will take place. Set to take place in Paris,

France, the event promises to be a celebration

of sportsmanship, diversity, and innovation.

Unless you follow these sports closely, you

might be surprised to learn that archery, football,

handball and rugby sevens start on 24 and 25

July, even before the opening ceremony. These

days will help to whittle down the medal event

qualifiers. The official Olympics website has a

clear schedule of each sport at olympics.com/en/

paris-2024/schedule.

New sports

One of the 2024 Olympics’ most anticipated

aspects is the introduction of new sports.

Breakdancing, skateboarding, sport climbing and

surfing are among the additions to the roster of

Olympic events. These dynamic and youthful

sports inject fresh energy into the Games,

appealing to a new generation of athletes and fans.

Enjoy these sports while you can though, as

not every discipline gets to stay. In 2021, the

martial art of karate made an appearance but

was dropped in 2024. Breakdancing is already

being dropped from the program for the 2028

Olympics. However, the long-time discontinued

sports of lacrosse and cricket are set to make a

comeback at the 2028 LA Olympics.

Medals of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games

Venues

While Paris is the

centre of the games,

it cannot host all sports,

and some have to be

held in other locations.

Sailing is held off the coast

of Marseille, football is at various

stadiums across France, including

Bordeaux, Lyon, and Nice, and surfing

is even further afield in Tahiti!

How to watch

The entirety of the 2024 Paris Olympics will

be broadcast live on the BBC and Eurosport.

Eurosport and Discovery+ will air a selection

of documentaries, athlete-led content and other

programming. The BBC is also broadcasting the

Games live in the UK, but it won’t be all sports,

so it might be worth investigating signing up for a

subscription service nearer the launch date.

Of course, one of the main benefits for us this

year is that there is only a one-hour difference

between us and France, meaning we can watch

the events as they happen.

Who to look out for

There are so many outstanding athletes, and the

Team GB website gives some background to 24

of the best new names to watch out for: tinyurl.

com/teamgb-athletes. Among them is 19-yearold

diver Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix, the daughter

of Channel 4’s First Dates host Fred Sirieix.

This year may be the last chance to see some past

medal winners as they come up to retirement.

Diver Tom Daley, OBE, is on the team, returning

to pursue a fifth Olympics. Although he hasn’t

announced his retirement, given that he turned

30 in May this year, he may not make it to Los

Angeles in four years.

Swimmer Adam Peaty, OBE, is 29 years old

and returns this year following a mental-healthmotivated

hiatus in 2023.

Wrapping up

The closing ceremony will be held on 11 August,

again in Paris.

21 Pimlico Road, Runcorn, Cheshire WA7 4US

by Caroline Knight

What is ‘rewilding’?

Some people believe that the term ‘rewilding’

is simply what happens naturally if you choose

to do nothing with land. Others regard it as a

somewhat derogatory reference to weeds and

overgrown gardens. Many assume it’s a new

word that has been coined in the 21 st century as

an excuse not to use the lawnmower.

The word rewilding is thought to have been

first created by a grassroots network known

as Earth First! and the idea behind the term

originated during the 1980s. It’s a huge topic

with conservation of the ecosystem at the

heart of its being.

The Knepp Estate, in the grounds of Knepp

Castle in West Sussex, is the first sizeable

lowland rewilding project in England, where

1,400 hectares of former farmland have been

transformed. It now attracts an impressive range

of wildlife and amongst the many successes is

a breeding colony of white storks, historically

associated with the county of Sussex.

Free-roaming grazing animals are at the heart of

management because they disturb the land and

transfer nutrients across the landscape. Browsing,

grazing, rootling, trampling and rubbing against

plants prevents scrub from turning into dense

woodland, which has

been shown to offer

very poor habitats

for most wildlife.

At Knepp, there are hardy, traditional longhorn

cattle which browse and graze all year round.

The breed was rescued by the Rare Breeds

Survival Trust in 1980 when it was about to

become extinct. Exmoor ponies have different

eating habits to cattle, nibbling the tops of thistles

and being able to enjoy tough grasses, leaving

the sweeter and softer species for the longhorns.

At the end of World War II, there were fewer than

50 of these ponies left in the world, having been

used as target practice on Exmoor and also eaten.

Traditional Tamworth pigs rootle in the ground,

mixing leaf litter and organic matter into the soil,

gorge on acorns, grind up carcasses and create a

diverse range of habitats. These are responsible

for successes including the purple emperor fly and

the critically endangered turtle dove.

How does this relate to gardens?

Can you rewild an average garden? Not in the

true sense. Many people claim to be rewilding,

but they are just neglecting to do anything. This

will lead to a profusion of brambles, possibly

nettles and whichever weeds are endemic in

your area. What is missing in a garden rewilding

setting is the range of animal managers that

serve to maintain a balance.

You can, however, achieve a naturalistic

appearance by planting a well-designed,

wide range of compatible plants, ensuring

they complement each other and the space

they occupy. For the best benefits to wildlife,

you’ll need trees, shrubs, perennials and as

many climbers as you can fit on your fences! A

gardener’s responsibility is to harness nature

and to create a haven for plants, together with

the biodiversity that they should aim to provide.

We can all do our bit towards rewilding, but

perhaps choose a different term.

At Cheshire Elite Fashion & Beauty, we believe that fashion and beauty

go hand in hand, empowering individuals to express their unique style and

enhance their natural beauty. We are an e-commerce platform dedicated to

providing you with a curated selection of high-quality fashion and beauty

products that will make you feel confident and glamorous. Our extensive

range of products includes makeup, skin care essentials, dresses for all

NOW IS THE

TIME TO

SWITCH TO

SOLAR!

Solar PV is the most popular smart energy technology

installed in the UK. Millions of homeowners have now switched

to solar panels to power their homes with free, clean energy

generated by daylight.

The new efficient Solar panels will charge your battery, meaning your home

can then be powered from the battery instead of the grid.

With Integral Solutions Battery & Smart Energy Home Systems technology,

any excess energy will automatically be stored to your battery.

If you need more energy than you are generating, the battery will

discharge to try and meet your demand, so you are not purchasing energy

from the grid.

WARRANTY

Your Integral Solutions Solar System

will come with a full independent

insurance backed warranty.

OFFICIALLY

If you’re thinking about brightening up your home

with new windows or extending and increasing the

value of your property by adding a conservatory,

our new guide ‘The Seven Costly and Potentially

Disastrous Mistakes People Make When Buying

Conservatories and Windows’ will help you

ensure you get exactly what you pay for.

IS THIS WHAT’S ON YOUR MIND?

After installing 104,400 double glazed units

and 4,093 conservatories David says he knows

what’s on your mind when you’re considering

buying windows and conservatories.

You don’t want to be pressured into buying

1 – so we don’t employ those high pressure

salespeople that double glazing companies have

become infamous for. Instead, our designers will

work with you, at your own pace and help you

to maximise your budget and have complete

peace of mind.

2You worry about the safety of your money

– so we don’t ask for big up front payments.

As a long established, financially stable company,

we’re not desperate to get our hands on your

money.

3You’re concerned about the mess that might

be caused – so we employ a ‘tidy up system’

and we clean as we go, window by window, day

by day.

4You don’t want to be let down by missed

start or completion dates – so we employ

one of the industries top installation managers

to manage our ten highly experienced fitting

teams, some of whom have now been with us

for over thirteen years.

Royal Collection Trust © His Majesty King Charles III 2024, Buckingham Palace gates, Andrew Holt

Buckingham Palace will be open to the general

public from 11 July to 29 September this year.

Highlights include lavishly furnished state

rooms, where the king and members of the

royal family receive and entertain guests of

state, ceremonial and official occasions. Visitors

can also admire some of the greatest treasures

from the Royal Collection.

For most of the year, Buckingham Palace is the

office and London residence of King Charles III

and Queen Camilla, as well as serving as an

important location for hosting ceremonies and

state and official occasions. It’s also a beloved

tourist attraction and in 1993, Queen Elizabeth II

gave approval for Buckingham Palace to open its

doors to the paying public. At the time this was to

raise funds for the restoration of Windsor Castle

following the fire of November 1992, but annual

opening periods have continued since then.

There are 19 rooms to tour. The lavishly

decorated state rooms include historic locations

such as the Throne Room, Picture Room,

Ballroom, Grand Staircase, White Drawing

Room and more – all furnished with beloved

treasures from the Royal Collection.

Along with the state rooms, each year the Royal

Collection Trust create a special exhibition for

the summer opening. Following Their Majesties’

Coronation on 6 May last year, visitors to

Buckingham Palace enjoyed a special display

featuring outfits worn by King Charles and

Queen Camilla during the ceremony.

This year, the ‘Royal Portraits: A Century of

Photography’ exhibition will be held in the King’s

Gallery (formerly known as the Queen’s Gallery).

This charts the evolution of royal portrait

photography from the 1920s to the present day.

Royal Collection Trust / © His Majesty King Charles III 2024, Throne Room

For more information, including opening times and dates, visit www.rct.uk/visit/buckinghampalacePalace

(rct.uk). Please note, the state rooms are closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Now 37 and with retirement in the air, Andy

Murray has been on the tennis circuit since

he was 18. So, will this Wimbledon fortnight

– 1 to 14 July 2024 – see him bid for a third

championship title or will it be his swansong?

After suffering a swift exit at the hands of Tomás

Martín Etcheverry at the Australian Open back

in January, Andy Murray posted a fun photo of

himself to Instagram with the caption: “One of

the huge advantages to losing in the first round

of @australianopen is getting to play Harry

Potter dress up at 5.30 am on a Sunday with my

daughters. Dumbledad.”

It was also when talk of retirement surfaced.

“It’s a definite possibility that this will be the last

time I play here,” he said at a press conference

following the defeat. On another occasion, he

revealed: “I haven’t made any definite decisions.

It’s not like it hasn’t been something that’s been

on my mind.”

Family ties

Almost as familiar a sight on court as Andy

himself has been his close-knit family – wife

Kim, mother Judy and his brother and fellow

professional Jamie.

Sir Andy – who received a knighthood in 2019

for services to tennis and charity – first met his

future wife, Kim Sears, in 2005 at a party for the

US Open and managed to keep their relationship

under wraps until the following year. On beating

Leyton Hewitt in the final of the SAP Open, Andy

©AELTC Florian Eisele

leapt into the crowd to share a victory hug with Kim

She recalled: “I went away with him thinking it’s fine

because he’s never going to win, so I’ll be back

in time for school on Monday, and then he did!”

“I remember saying to my mum, you’ve got to

call in and tell them I’ve got the winter vomiting

virus and I won’t be in, but then it was on the

front cover of the paper, so I was busted.”

The couple announced their engagement

in November 2014 and later tied the knot at

Dunblane Cathedral in April 2015.

Besides the family home in Leatherhead,

Surrey, Andy and Kim also own the luxury

5-star hotel Cromix in Dunblane, which was

the venue for their wedding reception. Set

in scenic Scottish countryside, the hotel

recently appeared in BBC Scotland’s Greatest

Escapes, hosted by Graeme Stevely (all

episodes available now on BBC iPlayer).

Come the inevitable day when Andy hangs up

his racquet for the last time, what then…?

In 2013, Andy, along with two business advisers,

founded 77 Sports Management, a boutique

sports marketing agency specialising in talent

representation. “Hopefully, I can continue

working with the younger athletes after my

playing career,” said Andy, “because I feel like

I made quite a lot of career mistakes on that

front when I was younger. And now, I want to

help other athletes – and stop them from making

those same mistakes.”

Europe is on everyone’s radar when it comes to planning a summer holiday. This means that, from

as early as May, many of the continent’s capitals, cultural hubs and beauty spots are teeming with

tourists and become eye-wateringly expensive.

Fortunately, the world is a big place, so travelling outside of Europe could be the answer. While you’ll

pay more for your flight on a long-haul holiday, you’ll often spend less while you’re there. So, here

are three long-haul holiday destinations to set your sights on this summer.

Indonesia

Blissful beaches, verdant jungles, active volcanoes and the world’s largest

Buddhist temple: diversity is Indonesia’s middle name. Admittedly, tourism

has boomed since ‘Eat Pray Love’ put Bali on everyone’s radar. However,

with thousands of islands to choose from, there’s plenty of room to roam.

The island of Lombok is a popular (but not too popular) choice for

holidaymakers seeking sun, sea and sand without the crowds. Unlike Bali,

there aren’t many built-up resorts here, making space for rainforest trails,

authentic Indonesian villages and a crowd-free coastline. From Lombok,

you’re also a short boat trip away from the Gili Islands – a tropical trio

famous for dazzling white-sand beaches, turquoise waters and reefs

teeming with turtles.

To top it off, Indonesia’s dry season spans April to October, making it the

perfect destination for a summer break.

Ecuador

For a small country, Ecuador certainly packs a punch. It’s best known

as the gateway to the wildlife-filled Galapagos islands, but the mainland

is a dream destination in its own right. Climb volcanoes, delve into the

Amazon, surf around sleepy seaside towns and explore Quito, one of

South America’s most compelling capitals.

Ecuador’s high season spans June to September but unlike some of its

neighbouring nations, it doesn’t exactly get packed. Coastal areas may

be cooler at this time of year, but the dry weather, blue skies and verdant

scenery make it the perfect time to explore the highlands. Trek the multiday

Quilotoa loop in the Andes, or plan your visit around the colourful

Incan celebration of Inti Raymi in June.

Namibia

From safariing in style in Etosha National Park and exploring the world’s

oldest desert to searching for shipwrecks on the Skeleton Coast, Namibia

offers an array of unforgettable experiences.

If you’re craving wide open spaces, there’s nowhere quite like it. Lose

yourself amidst the striking red dunes of Sossusvlei, and search for

elephants, giraffes, lions and the endangered black rhino in Etosha

National Park. Namibia’s not overdeveloped, which has allowed many

local groups to preserve their traditional ways of life, and low light

pollution means you can experience some of the world’s best stargazing.

The ever-present sunshine attracts visitors year-round, but the drier winter

months (July to October) are the best for wildlife viewing. Namibia isn’t

as busy as some other East African safari destinations, but the shoulder

months of April, October and November are also great options for mild

weather and quieter parks.

Sciatica explained

According to the NHS, around nine

million adults in England live with back

pain and, of these, it’s estimated that one

in 20 people will be affected by sciatica

at some point in their lives.

While a sciatica fl are-up usually gets

better within four to six weeks – it can

go as quickly as it arrived – it can

sometimes last longer. So, what exactly

is this problem, what causes it, what can

you do to help relieve symptoms and can

you reduce the chances of it returning?

Diagnosis

A burning, stinging, electric-like shock

runs from your lower back all the way

down your leg. This pain is undeniably

sciatica, a term used to describe irritation,

inflammation, or compression of the

sciatic nerve. It is often confused with

general back pain, but sciatica isn’t limited

to the back area.

Other symptoms can include numbness,

weakness, and pins and needles in the

feet, toes, or legs. Pain and discomfort

can range from mild to severe, and

symptoms are often aggravated by

sneezing, coughing, or sitting for long

periods.

Why me?

Sciatica can happen for no particular

reason. It isn’t a condition in itself. Instead,

it’s a symptom of various other conditions

that can affect the sciatic nerve:

• Age-related changes in the spine

and natural age-related degeneration

of bones, nerves and muscles can

increase the risk of infl ammation.

• Sitting for long periods or having a

sedentary lifestyle.

• Being overweight places stress on the

spine, which can lead to spinal.

• A slipped disc.

Treatments and self-help

Your GP will likely suggest

exercises and stretches for

you to do at home. They may

also suggest painkillers, like

ibuprofen and aspirin. In some

cases, your GP might also refer

you for physiotherapy. This is free

under the NHS, but you may well

fi nd there is a waiting list. However,

if your symptoms don’t improve, are

getting worse, or prevent you from

doing everyday activities, ask for a further consultation.

Staying active

Gentle, low-forms of exercise, such as swimming

and walking, are advised by the NHS. Exercises to

increase core strength, improve hip and spine mobility

or maintain fl exibility in the lower body can help. Other

movements, such as any that stretch the hamstrings,

are best avoided. For further guidance, seek advice

from your GP or check out the NHS online for

information on exercises for sciatica at

www.nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/exercises-sciatica-problems/

The sciatic nerve explained

The sciatic nerve is the longest and widest nerve

in the human body, running from the lower back,

through the buttocks, down the leg, and ending just

below the knee. It then branches into other nerves

which continue down to the toes. It controls several

muscles in the lower legs and is responsible for

supplying sensations to the skin of the foot and most

of the lower leg.
