Stop flies coming into your house immediately with £3.99 Home Bargains buy – it takes seconds to install & looks stylish
YOU can stop flies coming into your house immediately with £3.99 Home Bargains buy. We all know how the warmer summer months can mean that more insects come into the home. 4 4 But instead of potential chemical sprays and repellent, there may be another way to keep flying bugs out. It also happens that the item looks stylish and it takes just seconds to install in the house. Home Bargains is selling the Jardin Magnetic Insect Door Screen for under a fiver. You can stay cool and breeze through summer with the protective barrier for just £3.99. It features magnetic closure and lace detail which comes in handy if you don't have a tool box. No instruments are needed to install the screen, which means it's easier than ever to keep the insects at bay. The population of house flies is far higher in the warmer months as they are more active and they reproduce more rapidly. The daytime is when most house flies are most active as peak activity often occurs in either the early morning or the late afternoon. It may be an idea to keep food sources away from the window as the insects are attracted to them. This also includes rubbish like waste, bones, leftovers and rotting food. Urgent 'do not eat' warning issued for cereal In the UK, wasps are also most active during the summer months when their colonies are at peak size. In this period, they are busy foraging for food, feeding their larvae, and they build nests - which are difficult to get rid of. This also means the activity of stingers is at its peak, so shoppers need to protect themselves, particularly from June until the end of August. Why do flies come out in summer? Flies are present all year round, but all of a sudden when summer comes, they are just EVERYWHERE! The main contributing factors are the breeding cycle of flies and the soaring temperatures. Insects are cold blooded and in summer, when their body temperature rises from the external heat, they become more active. The hotter weather also let's them seek out cool moist spots, like inside your home, to escape from the sweltering heat and to lay their eggs. House Fly eggs take around 20 hours to hatch, but when the temperature rises above 37 degrees, can hatch within 8 hours! In extreme hot weather the eggs can mature from larvae to adult fly in as little as four days. The average lifespan of a housefly is 21 days, so each female can lay up to 900 eggs during the summer months! 4 4

AlUla Showcases Cultural Heritage and Sustainable Vision at Jardins, Jardin Opening in Paris - Middle East Business News and Information
The ancient oasis city of AlUla, located in north western Saudi Arabia, makes its debut today at Jardins, Jardin, Paris's prestigious annual gardening event targeting a high end discerning segment. The luxury heritage destination will showcase its remarkable landscapes and rich cultural heritage to the important and growing French market through an immersive installation, the AlUla Oasis Garden, designed by acclaimed landscape architect Pierre Alexandre Risser. Launched in partnership with The French Agency for the Development of AlUla (AFALULA), the AlUla Oasis Garden challenges perceptions and reveals the unexpected natural abundance of Saudi Arabia's ancient oasis city. The installation authentically recreates the destination's distinctive natural environment that is synonymous with towering palms, fragrant citrus trees, figs, pomegranates, and native plant species. Offering an additional glimpse into AlUla's rich cultural landscape, an exhibition of works by renowned photographer Gilles Bensimon, set within a purpose-built pavilion, will provide visitors with compelling visual narratives of AlUla's dramatic landscapes and archaeological treasures. AlUla is a thriving oasis where over 4 million date palms, 77,000 Moringa trees, and 29 citrus fruit varieties flourish, nourished by 80 natural springs. In addition, the destination's commitment to environmental stewardship is evidenced by the dedication of over 50% of its territory to protected areas, comprising Sharaan national park along with five nature reserves. This conservation approach aligns with AlUla's careful development of luxury accommodations, including the five-star Our Habitas and Banyan Tree AlUla resorts, ideally located in the secluded Ashar Valley, the history-inspired The Chedi Hegra near Saudi's first UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Dar Tantora The House Hotel, nestled within the labyrinthine streets of AlUla Old Town. Luxury travel specialist Angèle, founded by Nora Gherras and bringing 30 years of Middle East expertise, will be present throughout the event. Angèle offers unparalleled insight into the region, crafting bespoke experiences from hot air balloon adventures over sandstone canyons to refined Bedouin-style stargazing and luxury safaris in the Sharaan National Park. AlUla, which is renowned for its 200,000 years of human history, including 7,000 years of successive civilisations, most notably represented by the ancient Nabatean city of Hegra, Saudi Arabia's first UNESCO Heritage Site, is readily accessible via AlUla International Airport, which welcomes private jets and offers direct connections through carriers including Saudia, Qatar Airways, FlyDubai, and Air France (code share services on Saudia) making this revitalising destination readily accessible from major global cities. About AlUla: Located 1,100 km from Riyadh, in North-West Saudi Arabia, AlUla is a place of extraordinary natural and human heritage. The vast area, covering 22,561km², includes a lush oasis valley, towering sandstone mountains and ancient cultural heritage sites dating back thousands of years to when the Lihyan and Nabataean kingdoms reigned. The most well-known and recognised site in AlUla is Hegra, Saudi Arabia's first UNESCO World Heritage Site. A 52-hectare ancient city, Hegra was the principal southern city of the Nabataean Kingdom and is comprised of 111 well-preserved tombs, many with elaborate facades cut out of the sandstone outcrops surrounding the walled urban settlement. Current research also suggests Hegra was the most southern outpost of the Roman Empire after the Roman's conquered the Nabataeans in 106 CE. In addition to Hegra, AlUla is also home to ancient Dadan, the capital of the Dadan and Lihyan Kingdoms and considered to be one of the most developed 1st millennium BCE cities of the Arabian Peninsula, and Jabal Ikmah, an open air library of hundreds of inscriptions and writings in many different languages, which has been recently listed on the UNESCO's memory of the World Register. Also AlUla Old Town Village, a labyrinth of more than 900 mudbrick homes developed from at least the 12th century, which has been selected as one of the World's Best Tourism Villages in 2022 by the UNWTO. Additionally, AlUla Old Railway and Hegra Fort, which are key sites in the story and conquests of Lawrence of Arabia.

One customer shared their find on the Aldi UK Shoppers Facebook page, writing: 'Found this today in the middle isle (sic)! "Was going to get one via Amazon for 12 pounds but saw this for five!

Matrix planting It seems that a top planting trend for this year is going to be Matrix Planting. In essence, planting in groups or blocks to give an effect of being wild whilst actually being carefully managed. Selection of the plants is essential, to give year-round interest either with flowers, seed heads or frosted/snowy spent flower heads. Some recommend using plants that seed around, but this could make managing your matrix planting harder to keep under control. Chrysanthemum comeback I hope that the humble Chrysanthemum makes as much of a comeback this year as Dahlias have over recent years, because the simple single flowered types, such as 'Innocence' and 'Cottage Apricot' would be spectacular within a matrix scheme. The hardy varieties are so easy to grow in a sunny spot and give such a valuable burst of late summer and autumn colour that would lift any dull- looking border. Blended borders For some time now we have been promoting the growing of veg within ornamental borders and I think this could really take off this year. The choice of ornamental-looking varieties available in seed catalogues is phenomenal and, if managed correctly, visitors to your garden will not even realise that you have veg growing! Must-have tool My secret is out. I discovered the Hori Hori a couple of years ago and now it seems so is everyone else. It is such a well-made, adaptable tool that can be used as a trowel or weeding tool in the garden that and everyone I speak to who have used it absolutely would not now be without it. Enough said!

Oberoi Realty share price: Nomura sees 23% upside as new project pipeline offsets Thane slowdown
By Arunika Jain Published on April 30, 2025, 08:23 IST Oberoi Realty Ltd. remains on Nomura's Buy list despite the brokerage trimming its target price to ₹2,000 per share, citing slower-than-expected sales velocity in the Thane region. At a current market price of ₹1,624.70, the revised target implies an upside of approximately 23%. The target revision comes on the back of weaker performance at the company's Jardin project in Thane and reduced near-term visibility on development plans for the Versova land parcel. Nomura flagged these concerns as reasons for the downward adjustment. However, the brokerage continues to back Oberoi's long-term growth story, expecting pre-sales to grow at a CAGR of nearly 30% over FY26–27, supported by a strong pipeline of upcoming launches. Nomura also remains positive on the company's balance sheet strength and execution capabilities. The mixed tone of the report — near-term caution offset by medium-term optimism — could keep the stock range-bound in the short term while investors await pre-sales traction from future project rollouts.
