The intense football season gradually came to its middle. The European cups took pauses, and the players are focused on the domestic Championships.
Let’s pay attention to the French League 1, where PSG continues to dominate.
Already by the equator of the tournament, the team of Thomas Tuchel is virtually guaranteed themselves a gold medal. This was possible not only due to the impressive start of the Parisians, who had a record winning streak at the start of top leagues, but also due to the problems of the main competitors, in particular, Monaco. The team was considered as...
What do zoo gardeners get each other for Christmas? A plant, of course – but not just any old plant. Gardeners at Paignton Zoo in Devon have given their colleagues at Marwell Zoo in Hampshire a Titan arum – one of the largest and smelliest plants in the world.
Titan arum (Amorphophallus titanum) blooms can be up to 3 metres high and 3 metres in circumference and smell like rotting meat.

Big plants need big tubers – this one is more than...
The world’s first environmental-themed multi-sports event will take place in Exeter next summer, it has been revealed. Formerly the South West Youth Games, The Planet Earth Games is a new concept set to be launched in 2019.
The organisers are promising the event will be bigger than ever – and better for the environment.

The UK’s only week-long cyber security awareness week (CSAW) is returning to Exeter next year, and Exeter business people are invited to join the launch event.
Taking place on Thursday 24th January, attendees will receive a free copy of the 2019 programme and get the heads up on what’s in store for the week.
There’ll be drinks and nibbles, a short cyber presentation and the opportunity to network with other business owners.
For a variety of reasons, more Brits than ever before are considering staycations in 2019. For some, it’s the inevitability of more expensive overseas trips in the wake of Brexit. For others, it’s the desire to explore the rich charms and treasures we have right there on our doorstep.
Considering how tiny the UK is, it’s a nation bursting at the seams with incredible holiday destinations. Day trips, weekend breaks, extended stays, outdoor adventures – all a quick train ride or road trip away.
If anything, you’re more likely to find yourself spoilt for choice than struggling...

A spell has been cast over Killerton this Christmas as volunteers and staff at Killerton, near Exeter, have worked together to create magical photos to reflect the story of Hans Christian Anderson’s The Snow Queen.
