How can Astrology tell you about your worst friends? Astrology is the concept of using the placement of the planets and their related astrological signs, or the Signs of the Zodiac, to determine the course of a life.

Of course, this is a quick overview, and doing actual natal charts and horoscopes is much more complicated. But now you have a basic idea of what astrology is.

The Stonehenge tunnel has been one hell of a saga. A two-mile tunnel under the landmark got the go-ahead in 2017, was blocked by the High Court in 2021, reapproved by the government in 2023 and earlier this year, a legal bid by campaigners to have it blocked a second time was dismissed. Now, after all that back and forth, it’s officially been scrapped.

You know how you keep saying you want to ‘get away from it all’? Turns out it actually can do you a lot of good. Leaving behind the muggy crowds of Euston, I hopped on a train to Shrewsbury, before taking a half hour taxi past handsome hamlets, countryside pubs and rolling green fields into a secluded woodland near the border of Wales. Here, you’ll find Woodland Park Lodges: a collection of charming, purpose-built treehouses that make for a stunning (and stunningly quiet) getaway.

The mantis shrimp is one tough customer. Beautiful and deadly are two words you don’t typically use to describe shrimp, but the mantis shrimp is definitely in a class of its own; earning a reputation as the ‘savage boxer of the sea’ and one of the most fearsome creatures in the ocean. And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

Living in the area of Wood Dale, I am always on the hunt to try somewhere local and support them. I remember trying Elio Pizza several years ago and I was not really impressed with the food. However, my biggest complaint was the atmosphere created by the employees. My first interaction felt very cliquey, with preferential treatment given to people they knew instead of new customers.

This Popular Italian Restaurant in Addison has lost my business for good—no more Chances.
