End of season clearance sale slashes huge palm tree worth £180 to under £60
Thanks to this massive end-of-season clearance deal, green-thumbed shoppers can now add a huge, hardy palm tree to their outdoor space for £120 less - but only while this sale lasts Create a Mediterranean haven in your backyard with an XL palm tree that originates in the French and Italian Riviera. Touted as an extremely tough specimen that grows excellently in artist pots and planters, as well as directly in the soil, this Extra Large Hardy Mediterranean Fan Palm is sure to add a continental twist to our garden or patio - and right now, you can add this beauty in your outside area for less as an end-of-season sale sees it plummet from its steep original price of £179.99, all the way down to £59.99. But you'll need to act fast, this clearance sale won't last forever. Aside from the Trachycarpus, the Chamaerops Humilis is probably the best palm for growing in the UK when it comes to cold hardiness and weather tolerance. This species is experienced in a varied climate and survived the tough 2022/2023 UK winter, coming out thriving, where we experience lows down to -14c some nights. This Mediterranean Fan Palm is a small clustering palm with distinctive, huge green leaves that spread out in an attractive fan form. Providing a luxurious South of France feeling while you're still at home, the Chamaerops humilis produces babies that grow into a multi-stemmed plant, creating a bundle of flourishing palms that get bigger and bushier as they grow. Once established, Chamaerops humilis is tolerant of drought and well-suited to full blazing sun or partial shade. It can also withstand a cold garden or hot conservatory, whether you've planted it in an exposed garden or balcony planters; its versatility and durability mean it will be quite at home no matter where you plant it. What's more, you don't have to be a horticulturist to encourage this palm to thrive, as it's remarkably easy to look after and grow. The Mediterranean Fan Palm is a beautiful plant for any garden. When unpruned, it grows into an attractive shrubby form, while if you prefer to get it pruned, it will grow into a single-trunked tree form that's ideal for keeping in a planter. This palm works perfectly as a centrepiece in any outdoor area, creating impact anywhere it is planted. Touted as a real architectural masterpiece for your collection, why not try it in a roomy container to grace your patio or deck, and even show it off to friends at your next barbecue. It's even ideal to use as a houseplant. Chamaerops humilis is the northernmost naturally occurring palm in the world. It is found as far north as the south coast of France in its natural state. In the UK, it generally grows to around two metres tall. Normally retailing for £179.99, Gardening Express' end-of-season clearance sale has seen it fall all the way to £59.99 while stocks last. If you'd prefer to shop elsewhere or fancy grabbing a smaller variant, Thompson & Morgan are offering this Chamaerops humilis Dwarf Fan Palm for £69.99, or head over to Dobies to find this dwarf Chamaerops humilis for the same price.

Brian Maule embraces new challenges after restaurant closure
Taking place in May this year, the first of the events at Glaschu on Royal Exchange Square saw Maule collaborate with the venue's head chef, Graeme Brown, for a five-course tasting menu that marries a touch of French flair with the best of local produce. After tickets sold out in 'record time', the chefs were inspired to join forces once more, with two further dinners set to take place on Wednesday, August 6 and Thursday, August 7. Pictured: Chef Brian Maule returns to Glaschu for two exclusive dinner events this week (Image: Supplied) "I am absolutely delighted to be back at one of my favourite restaurants in the city to showcase some of Scotland's finest summer produce," Maule said of the upcoming events. "The last two were very successful, and it was so nice to see so many familiar faces of people who have followed me over the last 20 or so years. "There's a great atmosphere at these nights and we keep it professional, but relaxed. "I come out to talk about the menu, then we have the guy from the wine company we partner with do the same with the drinks. "It works really well, and there's a wee bit of an educational element to it without going too in depth." Previously he had taken on a new role with Ayrshire-based hospitality group, Buzzworks, as he sought to pass on his skills to a new generation of culinary talent in Scotland. Though this contract has recently come to an end, consultancy work and collaborations with restaurants such as Glaschu mean that the chef is still rarely far away from professional kitchens. 'I've been really busy this past year, and working with various companies has meant that no two days have been the same. 'I get to go around different kitchens and meet new people, from chefs to owners, which is great. 'I'm still learning how best to deal with the individual needs of each business, but I'm enjoying that challenge and always looking out for the next opportunity.' Pictured: Maule has said he is 'absolutely delighted' to join forces with the team at Glaschu for a second time (Image: Supplied) Asked how his current work differs from more than two decades at the helm of his own restaurant, Le Chardon d'Or, before its shock closure in 2023, Maule said: 'Obviously, my own place will always be at the back of my mind, even though it's not there anymore. 'I miss it, but with the difficulties our industry has been facing at the moment, the past year has been far less stressful than the few prior. "I'm enjoying doing something different." Those attending this week's wine dinners at Glaschu will enjoy a menu that draws inspiration from some of Maule's favourite creations at Le Chardon d'Or, with dishes such as confit chicken bon bon, marinated cured salmon fillet, ragu of king prawns and Venison Wellington. Pictured: Glaschu's head chef, Graeme Brown (Image: Supplied) 'I have always admired Brian, and we've had a lot of fun with the menu development for the May events,' Glaschu's head chef Graeme Brown said of their joint effort to create the five-course tasting experience. 'We can't wait to share an unforgettable experience with our guests, filled with exceptional flavours, creativity, and great company.' Marshall Bass, territory manager from Enotria & Coe, Glaschu's wine partner, added: 'I am delighted and tremendously honoured to be a part of this event with Brian and Glaschu for a third and fourth time. 'The menu looks fantastic, as expected, and I am relishing the opportunity to don my sommelier cap again. 'The combination of Brian's culinary jewels with some of Enotria's top wine offerings, set in Glaschu's idyllic dining room, should make for an unforgettable night." Glaschu is located at 32 Royal Exchange Square in Glasgow. For further updates on upcoming events, visit

Another European airport is losing all of its Ryanair flights this year
Plus, the other axed route where the airport is at risk of closing NO GO Another European airport is losing all of its Ryanair flights this year Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THREE destinations in France are being ditched by Ryanair this winter. Ryanair announced it would be axing flights from three airports in France later this year due to the "astronomical" rise in air tax by the French government. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 The commune of Brive will no longer get direct flights from Ryanair Credit: Alamy 4 The commune has a bustling food scene as well as annual fairs Credit: Alamy Ryanair said in a statement that the decision to stop routes to cities such as Brive, is because of the French government's decision to increase air tax by 180 per cent which they called "astronomical". The airline added: "In response to this government tax, Ryanair will cease operations to Bergerac, Brive, and Strasbourg, and reduce capacity at several other French airports." Ryanair currently operates two flights per week between London and Brive which is the biggest commune in Corrèze, and it's capital is Tulle. Direct flights from London Stansted to Brive will stop after October 24, 2025. But if you manage to visit before then, you can explore local distilleries and even Lamy Chocolate Factory which create sweet treats. Brive has a large food market held three times a week in Georges Brassens Hall with more than 200 sellers where you can pick up lots of tasty local produce. In the winter months, Brive is known for holding traditional winter fairs called Foires Grasses. It also holds Foires Franches, a summer fair which has children's fairground rides, markets, games throughout the town and firework displays. Other destinations that have been axed are Strasbourg, aka the Capital of Christmas. The third destination that Ryanair will no longer fly to is Bergerac. The beautiful French town with Venice style canals 4 Brive is part of the Dordogne Valley which has plenty of shops and restaurants Credit: Alamy Bosses at this French airport even fear that the terminal could close as a result. Last week, Christophe Fauvel, president of the Dordogne Chamber of Commerce (CCI) explained that Ryanair stopping flights could lead to the closure of Bergerac Airport. Talking to French media, Christophe said: "It is what happens next that worries us. "If Ryanair decides to follow through on its threat and leaves Bergerac for good the airport may face closure". Bergerac Airport estimates that it will lose 18,000 passengers and a seven per cent loss of its annual passenger numbers. Last year, Ryanair pulled its service to Bordeaux Airport – a decision that was finalised in October 2024. In early 2025, the airline also cut its route to Vatry. For anyone going away for the summer, check out this full list of UK airline hand luggage rules for peace of mind. And take a look at this underrated French city that has a 'bit of everything' with picturesque beaches and new cheap hotels.
