The ‘country house' pub in Greater Manchester with a beautiful beer garden
For over a week now Greater Manchester and many parts of the UK have basked in glorious spring weather. The sun hasn't stopped shining, there's hardly been a cloud in the sky and it's even been hotter than Spain.
Although this weekend it looks like that could all change as the weather takes a turn, with temperatures returning to average for this time of year.
It's likely the sun will disappear behind the clouds once more with forecasters even predicting showers for next week.

Since it's Friday there's not better way to do that than with a cold drink in a beer garden. We've got plenty to choose from, including canal-side pubs and city-centre sun traps.
Yet tucked away in Worsley in Salford is a pub that's rather special, with a stunning beer garden. Worsley Old Hall is a self-described 'country house' pub, with gorgeous black and white timbering.
Only a stone's throw away from RHS Bridgewater, this grade-II listed building has a cosy interior with nooks and crannies where you can enjoy a drink (or several).
Yet when the sun's shining the huge garden at the back of the pub comes into its own. It's beautifully designed with generous seating options, and really does feel like a country house despite the fact it's minutes away from the M60.

It's a lovely spot to sit and enjoy a drink after work as the sun sets with views across the golf course. Or head there on a weekend after exploring nearby Worsley village or RHS Bridgewater.
The pub has an excellent drinks selection, as well as a mouthwatering menu with light bites and hearty mains.
Deserts include Cheshire Farm ice cream and an impressive range of local cheeses.
The building itself dates from the 16th or early 17th century and was originally a timber-framed building, which has been rebuilt in brick. The house was remodelled in the 18th century.
The hall has significant importance to Greater Manchester as it was here that It was in the hall that Francis Egerton, the 3rd Duke of Bridgewater, James Brindley and John Gilbert planned the Bridgewater Canal and supervised its building.

Rare Strawberry Moon captured over region
Cameras trained on the night sky have captured a rare sight across the East Midlands. Wednesday night and Thursday morning saw the darkness lit up by a Strawberry Moon. The event hit its peak overnight but the pinkish hues of it sitting low to the horizon are nothing to do with the name. A Strawberry Moon instead marks the harvest season of indigenous Americans because it appeared when wild strawberries were due to be harvested. These images were all captured by BBC Weather Watchers who stayed up late to catch the summer show unfolding above them. And it was worthwhile as the phenomenon was last seen in 2006 and will not be repeated again until 2043. Follow BBC Nottingham on Facebook, on X, or on Instagram.

Hailey Bieber Brings Frosé Nails to Her Wine Country Girls' Trip
Summer is fast approaching, and you've just had your behemoth beauty brand acquired for a cool $1 billion—WYD? If you're Hailey Bieber, it's time to head to the wine country on a girls' trip. The model and Rhode founder shared a carousel of recent images on Instagram earlier this week, which captured her latest getaway with musician and close friend Justine Skye. Amid the pics, Bieber posed next to wine barrels and in the Cali sun with glasses of red. In another Instagram Story, Bieber and Skye made use of the millennial-coded Boomerang function, cheering their glasses of pale pink frosé. California, Bieber's home state, is known for its rosé wines made from Zinfandel grapes—fruity flavors and light in body, which make them the perfect refreshing summer drink. Especially when iced to become a frothy little frosé. Bieber, then, matched her manicure to the icy pink drink. Photo: Instagram Stories (@haileybieber) Of course, we're talking about the original champion of the glazed donut nails here, the sheer, milky white mani that a legion of girls took to their nail techs in 2022. As well as other foodie-related beauty trends, from strawberry girl blush to the overarching tomato girl aesthetic. Of recent, too? Bieber opted for a set of zesty lemon drop nails by her go-to manicurist and L.A. it-girl favorite Zola Ganzorigt.
