How to create privacy in your garden
CREATING privacy in your garden can be achieved in a number of ways depending on your budget, and the size of your space. Here are some effective ways to enhance privacy in your garden:
1. Fencing
Install a tall, solid wooden or vinyl fence. This is one of the most straightforward ways to gain immediate privacy. Or use lattice panels, trellis, or slatted fencing to add a decorative touch while still offering privacy.
2. Hedges and Plants
Fast-growing evergreen shrubs or trees like Leylandii, Thuja, or Bamboo along the boundary of your garden can help with privacy. Grow a dense hedge using plants like Boxwood, Privet, or Laurel. It may take time to grow, but it provides a natural and green privacy screen. Use climbers like Ivy, Clematis, or Wisteria on fences or trellises to create a lush, green privacy barrier.
3. Outdoor Curtains
Hang outdoor curtains around pergolas, gazebos, or patios for an easy-to-adjust privacy solution.
4. Sound Barriers
A water fountain or small waterfall can help drown out noise, adding to the sense of privacy. Or install fencing designed to reduce noise if privacy from sound is also a concern.

Tracee Ellis Ross, 52, rocks tiny bikini on pool day and leaves fans gushing over her ‘flawless' figure
There may be more to the pics than just some sexy poses SUMMER BREAK Tracee Ellis Ross, 52, rocks tiny bikini on pool day and leaves fans gushing over her 'flawless' figure TRACEE Ellis Ross looked stunning in a black bikini on a recent sunny day poolside. The actress, 52, rocked an oversized black sunglasses and scalloped-edge, tiny bikini as she teased "two things... coming out real soon." 5 Tracee Ellis Ross sizzled in a recent photo shoot Credit: Instagram / traceeellisross 5 The star posed in a black bikini by a swimming pool Credit: Instagram / traceeellisross 5 She teased 'two things coming out' in the photos Credit: Instagram / traceeellisross 5 Tracee is Golden Globe winning actress and owns a hair care line Credit: Getty - Contributor Tracee, who has had a long-career as a model and actress, posed seductively in some shots standing by an infinity pool, and in other photos gave a goofy smile to camera. The Black-ish star shared the photos to Instagram with the caption: "2 things in these photos are coming out reallll soon…." Tracee, who already has her own hair care line called Pattern Beauty, did not reveal what she was referring to, but her fans tried to guess in the comments. "Shades and suit!! We're SEATED," wrote one person. Another added: "Bathing suit and shades." And a third commented: "Is it the sunnies? They're so cute!" Tracee, who is the daughter of music sensation Diana Ross and Robert Ellis Silberstein, recently opened up on why she prefers to date younger men. She shared her thoughts with former First Lady Michelle Obama on the latter's podcast, IMO. "Often I date younger men," before revealing the real reason why," she said on the episode which aired in April. Tracee spoke about knowing herself and being in charge of her life, touching on why men her age aren't a good match for her most of the time. Tracee Ellis Ross reveals real reason she dates younger men - and it's not just because 'they're hot' Speaking about dating younger men, she said: "It's not just age. It's like life experience is sort of a difference. "But I had to ask myself the question, why?" Tracee continued: "A lot of men my age are steeped in a toxic masculinity and have been raised in a culture where there is a particular way that a relationship looks. "And anything that starts to smell of that for me... I did enough of it where I was controlled and felt like I was a possession or whatever those things were, or prize. "And I just, I have no interest in it and I will not do it again."

The seven mistakes you're making on holiday that make you look classless & common & you won't realise you're doing them
Plus, how you should always avoid being tempted to ask for ketchup HOL-D ON The seven mistakes you're making on holiday that make you look classless & common & you won't realise you're doing them THERE is nothing wrong with being relaxed on holiday — indeed, that's the point — but there is a fine line between being carefree and appearing "common." An etiquette expert has revealed her golden rules for avoiding looking lower class as you unwind away from home. 6 There are some telltale signs you look 'common' when you are away Credit: Getty 6 The Queen of Etiquette Laura Windsor shared her advice for not looking lower class on holiday Credit: Supplied Laura Windsor, the Queen of Etiquette, shared seven things you should immediately stop doing, according to Laura, if you want to look more upper class… 1. FLIP FLOPS For those of you who like city holidays it is a huge no no to walk around in flip flops. Flip flops should be reserved for areas such as the beach, swimming pools, locker rooms and for apocalypse scenarios. It also shows poor dress sense and a lack of situational appropriateness - restaurants do not pair well with ingrown toe nails, hairy and/or non-manicured toe nails. More on holidays HOL NO Mum who booked luxury cabin holiday discovers it's really an unfurnished 'shed' 2. HOGGING LOUNGERS Avoid saving sun loungers for your friends. It's similar to letting your friends jump the queue and is something one would do at school. It was annoying then, it's annoying now. You are all grown up now, there is no excuse. It also shows that you need to exercise some respect towards others and yourself. Moment holidaymakers sprint for sun loungers at popular tourist destination 6 Sun lounger wars are not 'classy' according to the expert Credit: Getty 3. SPAGHETTI WITH A SPOON Eating spaghetti with a spoon and fork - this is a huge no no. If you are ordering spaghetti you should eat it like an Italian - with just a fork. Twirling pasta round a fork does not require extra cutlery. It's just screaming 'tourist' and is an international signal for 'charge me double' plus a 20 per cent service charge on top of the cover charge. You should also avoid stacking plates for the waiting staff, adding salt to food before trying it, and putting your napkin in your collar. 6 If you order spaghetti, don't be tempted to use a spoon Credit: Getty 4. EARLY DRINKS When it comes to holidays, some people start drinking early - be it at the airport Wetherspoons or at the all-inclusive bar. Avoid drinking early morning and making a fool of yourself from that moment forth. Excessive drinking can put you in compromising situations especially on social media; do we really want to see you stumble to your seat and be in a catatonic state? Or sweating alcohol from your pores to the point that you are flammable or engage in innocuous behaviour such as talking or laughing too loudly, or being handsy with your partner, it certainly won't go unnoticed. Most Southern Europeans will sip their alcohol rather than gulp it down and accompany it with a proper meal! 6 You should avoid drinking in the early morning when abroad Credit: Getty 5. REQUESTING KETCHUP To be culturally ignorant is another big no-no. There is nothing worse than travelling to a country and expecting the local restaurants to provide you with your favourite sauces - ketchup, mayonnaise, chilli oil, daddy's sauce and other such monstrosities- eat what is offered as if you were a local, otherwise you might as well save your money and stay at home. Nothing screams 'ignorant tourist' than someone who does not follow or read up on the customs of the country they are visiting. Respect local customs - if the locals queue in a way that is considered unacceptable in your culture, instead of tutting and complaining; it's the time to follow the 'when in Rome' rule. 6. SOCKS AND SANDALS Socks and sandals should be avoided at all costs. You can spot a British person a mile away! 6 Socks and sandals should be avoided Credit: Getty 7. CLAPPING AS YOU LAND Applauding as you land? For what reason? Yes I can understand the incredible skill involved in landing a flying metal tube but no one died or saved a kitten. Are you lucky to be alive? Yes of course you are but then applaud every day. You are more likely to die crossing the road than travelling by plane. It gives the impression that you haven't flown a lot. No one is particularly impressed with an amateur tourist.

You are amazing and inspiring!" Everything you need to know about fat jabs Weight loss jabs are all the rage as studies and patient stories reveal they help people shed flab at almost unbelievable rates, as well as appearing to reduce the risk of serious diseases. Wegovy – a modified version of type 2 diabetes drug Ozempic – and Mounjaro are the leading weight loss injections used in both the US and the UK. How do they work? The jabs work by suppressing your appetite, making you eat less so your body burns fat for energy instead and you lose weight. They do this my mimicking a hormone called GLP-1, which signals to the brain when the stomach is full, so the drugs are officially called GLP-1 receptor agonists. They slow down digestion and increase insulin production, lowering blood sugar, which is why they were first developed to treat type 2 diabetes in which patients' sugar levels are too high. Are there any risks? Yes – side effects are common but most are relatively mild. Around half of people taking the drug experience gut issues, including sickness, bloating, acid reflux, constipation and diarrhoea. Dr Sarah Jarvis, GP and clinical consultant at said: 'One of the more uncommon side effects is severe acute pancreatitis, which is extremely painful and happens to one in 500 people.' Other uncommon side effects include altered taste, kidney problems, allergic reactions, gallbladder problems and hypoglycemia. Evidence has so far been inconclusive about whether the injections are damaging to patients' mental health. Figures obtained by The Sun show that, up to January 2025, 85 patient deaths in the UK were suspected to be linked to the medicines Rosie revealed she was using mounjaro back in January 2023. She revealed that she was starting her weight loss transformation in a TikTok video. Advertisement Rosie then shared an update this March, revealing how she had "lost more weight". After moving to Ireland, she said, "I've lost more weight. "I am on Mounjaro for my diabetes and one of the side effects is you lose weight. "But it's also because I had a chef for over two years in Los Angeles and I don't have a chef now. It's me cooking for Clay and me."
