The 'hidden gem' Greater Manchester park where you can see daffodils this spring
After what has felt like the longest winter ever, spring is nearly upon us. The days are getting longer, the mercury is slowly but surely rising and the sun is making regular appearances.
Among the joys of spring are the beautiful blooms and blossoms that emerge all around. Daffodils are one of the earliest flowers to appear, with some varieties starting to flower in February.
These cheerful yellow flowers with their iconic golden trumpets can be seen in parks and green spaces across Greater Manchester, including at Salford's Peel Park.

Only a short walk away from Manchester city centre, Peel Park is a tranquil spot on the banks of the river Irwell. It has riverside paths, towering trees and huge green lawns.
It's a popular park all year round, especially among students at nearby Salford University. But the park really comes into its own in the spring when golden blooms sprout up from the lawn.
Peel Park has amassed hundreds of five star reviews on Google. One visitor, Dana, wrote: 'One of my favourite parks, even in the winter.
'During the spring flower beds are planted and the trees are gorgeous. There's a beautiful river streaming through that just adds to the calming atmosphere of the place.'
Another called it a 'hidden gem'. Reviewer Jobin Jose said: 'Peel Park in Salford is a charming and historic green space. With its lush lawns, serene lake, and convenient location, it's a tranquil oasis for relaxation and outdoor activities. Don't miss this hidden gem.'
From the park you can see Manchester's skyscrapers, yet it feels a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It's perfect for a relaxing stroll in the spring sunshine with several paths you can follow around it.
The park is dotted with benches where you can perch for a peaceful moment or two, and as the weather gets better an ice cream van regularly makes an appearance.
Peel Park is a half hour walk from Deansgate tram stop, or just a few minutes from Salford Central Station. There is some pay and display parking at Salford Museum and Art Gallery, and a bus stop right outside.

Manitoba government urges tourists not to visit as 21,000 people flee wildfires
WINNIPEG - Manitoba's emergency management minister says tourists should hit the pause button on visiting the province as the government works to accommodate about 21,000 wildfire evacuees. Lisa Naylor says it's one of the largest evacuations in Manitoba's history and that the province expects more people will have to flee as wildfire season continues. She says emergency officials are working closely with businesses within the province's tourism sector to secure hotel rooms for those fleeing the flames. To do that, Naylor says this means Manitoba residents and Canadians should put off things ranging from large meetings and conventions to family reunions. Thousands also remained out of their homes in Saskatchewan and Alberta, including between 10,000 and 15,000 in Saskatchewan alone. Some residents of Pelican Narrows, Sask., in the province's remote north, can start to return home provided they are healthy and they have access to their own vehicles.

Google's AI Shift: Travel Marketing Disruption Is Coming Fast
At Skift Research, we think travel leaders need to be a little Google-obsessed. It's one of the most important drivers of bookings, and our data shows Google is undergoing a real-time AI transformation with massive implications for the industry. Google has been a critical part of the tourism marketing funnel for decades. Now, as the search giant reinvents itself for the AI era, the downstream impact on the entire travel industry could be dramatic. Skift Research's latest research report – AI, Google, and the Shift from Keywords to Context in Travel – tracks how Google is embedding AI tools into its search platform and what it means for travel marketers. In a 2023 study, Skift laid out four key areas where generative AI could impact the travel industry. We believed AI would first impact internal tools and customer support, and there have been a slew of product launches in those areas. But we also predicted the most profound impact would be in search, though it would t

Japan's Princess Kako receives medal in Brazil as she starts 11-day trip
SAO PAULO (AP) — Japan's Princess Kako of Akishino, a niece of Emperor Naruhito, received the highest order of Brazil's powerhouse state of Sao Paulo on Friday as she kicks off an 11-day trip to the South American nation. Her trip also marks the 130th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries. The younger daughter of Crown Prince Fumihito and Crown Princess Kiko arrived on Thursday in Sao Paulo. She held appointments with members of the Japanese community on Friday and finished her schedule at a dinner with Governor Tarcisio de Freitas at the state government palace. She was awarded the Order of the Ipiranga at a closed ceremony. Princess Kako will visit another seven cities, including Rio de Janeiro and capital Brasilia, where she is expected to meet President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Speaking to de Freitas, she made reference to the first Japanese immigrants arriving in the city of Santos in 1908 after a gruesome trip through the seas. On the first day of her trip, she visited the memorial to pioneer Japanese immigrants at Sao Paulo's Ibirapuera Park. 'I felt that the immigrants made an enormous effort to adapt to Brazil, and still today are very active in different areas. The fact that Brazil sheltered the Japanese community made the connections between the two countries to become deeper,' the princess said. Today, Brazil has the largest population of people of Japanese descent in the world, estimated at about 2.7 million. About half of those live in Sao Paulo state, official figures show. Emperor Naruhito has no male children, which makes his brother Akishino, Princess Kako's father, the first successor in line. Japan's tradition does not allow women to take the throne. Princess Mako, who is Princess Kako's older sister, was the last member of Japan's imperial family to visit Brazil . She traveled to 13 cities of the South American nation in 2018. Error!
