The 17th-century English country house and estate is a popular location for walkers. It has sprawling fields, a walled garden, orchards and a forest.The hall, which is about…

Last month’s tale of a winter break spoiled because easyJet Holidays had neglected to state that the hotel’s heated pool and spa incurred hefty charges was discordant music to another reader’s ears. He writes:We returned last month from an easyJet Holidays break at a “wellness retreat” with prominently advertised spa facilities, which turned out not to have any spa facilities whatsoever. We had booked a £1,070 week at the Vasia Sea Retreat in Sissi, Crete, because I wanted access to a gym at least twice a day as rehabilitation from a serious knee injury, and my wife was keen for…

In May, our supplier, Yorkshire Water, made a surprise payment of more than £3,500 into my partner’s bank account.We assumed that it was an error and we would be told to repay it.Exactly a month later, she received another payment, this time of £3,300. Yorkshire Water told us it did not recognise the payment reference and did not think it had made the payment.My partner’s bank said there was nothing it could do to stop, or return, the payments. Both companies took the issue quite lightly and told us to enjoy the money.We have transferred it into our savings account…

The idea comes from a 2018 study involving more than 10,000 people in the US, UK and Australia. Participants submitted stool samples and reported what they typically ate. Researchers analysed the microbes in those samples and found that people who consumed more than 30 different plant foods a week tended to have a more diverse gut microbiome than those who ate fewer than 10.But that doesn’t mean 30 is a magic number. Whether you eat 25 plants a week or 30 is probably less important than some would have you believe.“Thirty is pretty arbitrary,” says Prof Daniel M Davis, head of life…

I’m 55 and, after being a dutiful wife for 30 years, my sex drive declined after a traumatic hysterectomy eight years ago. My husband was patient and kind throughout. I love him dearly, but sex was never really the same afterwards, which I attribute to the surgery.I’ve now been through menopause and suddenly find my libido returning. However, my husband no longer desires me due to weight gain. He can’t maintain an erection for long, and is very critical of my sexual performance. He’s seen a doctor, but nothing came of it, and he refuses couples counselling.Other than sex, we are…

I am heartened to read of the drive to increase access to lido swimming for the benefit of public health, especially as the planet heats up (Labour MPs call on water firms to save Britain’s lost lidos, 4 July).Having recently published a peer-reviewed study on the meaning of lido swimming as part of my MSc in occupational therapy, I propose that their health and wellbeing benefits reach far beyond their cooling properties during heatwaves.Research findings by me and my co-author, Hannah Spring, align with wider evidence on the benefits of swimming in natural waters, suggesting that lido swimming allows people…

I am deeply conflicted about whether to separate from my husband of 20 years, yet I am deeply burnt out from supporting him. He arrived as a refugee, spoke little English at the time, is from a very different culture to mine and has, as yet, untreated ADHD and PTSD. After much coaxing he agreed to couples counselling but we have now exhausted two therapists to no avail.If I decide to separate I know that I will be far more supported by friends and family than he will be.He didn’t choose the life of pain he has endured and continues…

Name: Snow rooms.Age: About 10 years old.Appearance: A magical snowy wonderland, but indoors.Why would you want it to snow indoors? Because you’re a billionaire.If I were a billionaire I’d say to my people: “First things first – let’s find a way to stop this snow coming in.” If you were a billionaire, you’d probably live somewhere hot, so you would have to pay to make it snow indoors.You mean they do it just because they can afford to do it? Pretty much. “These frosty cold rooms have become a choice amenity for those atop economic Everest,” says the New York…

It was the first day of spring this year. I was topless, face-down on a foldaway travel table, as the masseuse uttered six words that brought my attempt at relaxation to an abrupt end: “I think your arm is haunted.”I have broken my right arm seven times: seven breaks on seven separate occasions. Some years, my arm was in a sling more than it was out of one. The novelty of getting your mates to cover your cast in that 00s grafitti “S” and the relief of missing the bleep test at school quickly wore off.My arm-breaking debut came in…

As Jane Ouartsi walked across a pedestrianised square in central London, on a Friday evening in early August three years ago, she linked arms with her partner, Dave Mathias, and told him how much she had enjoyed the afternoon they had spent together, eating pizza in Soho and visiting an art installation. It was the last time she can remember feeling properly happy and relaxed.“We were walking quite slowly, talking about the art. It’s hard to remember exactly, but I think I was saying what a lovely lunch, and then all of a sudden there was a horrific impact,” she…
