Kew Gardens reopens with new installations The Secret World of Plants 1 May – 19 September 2021
May 11 2021
Kew Gardens’ summer programme asks ‘What do plants really mean to you?’ and ‘Can you see beyond the green?’ to help us embrace the wonderfully weird world of plant biodiversity through newly commissioned interactive art installations using music, sound and colour. Large-scale, immersive ‘plantscapes’ spread out across Kew Gardens celebrate British biodiversity and warn of its decline. The magical atmosphere helps us tune in to musical symphonies created by the natural sounds of plants and trees. In addition to Secret World of Plants installations, the Naturally Brilliant Colour art exhibition in the galleries showcases the brightest colours found in nature.

My conviction was reinforced by a recent ad campaign called ‘Let’s Talk the Joy of Later Life Sex’ run by relationship charity Relate with global advertising group Ogilvy UK.
The promotion, shot by British photographer Rankin, features five older couples and one woman in their most intimate settings and explores everything from long-term love to the more risqué.

Questions to consider when attempting to contest a will
May 07 2021
Contesting a will can be a difficult process. Both in terms of the law and the effects on you personally, especially when in the middle of grieving.
When it comes to seeking legal advice for contesting a will, consider why you believe you need to. If it’s because you feel like you should have inherited more, although it can be difficult to get this sorted legally it is not impossible, but you will need to have the right grounds, and in the least have a connection with the deceased and that you feel you have not been provided for fairly.
