One of my favorite summer salads: cucumber, blueberry, mint, and feta.

Simple, healthy, and refreshing.

Twelve plants traditionally associated with deterring mosquitoes in gardens and on patios — most effective when the foliage is bruised or brushed past, releasing their volatile oils.

1. Lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus) — contains citronella oil. Grow in a large pot and bring indoors before the first frost; not reliably hardy outdoors in Britain.
2. Basil — strongly aromatic in warm weather. Grow on the patio table beside a seat.
3. Scented pelargonium — the rose-scented and citrus-scented varieties are the most pungent. Brush the leaves as you pass.
4. Lavender — works through the whole summer season. Plant along paths where you brush against it.
5. Petunia — included in traditional lists; some fragrant varieties release an aromatic compound at dusk.
6. Mint — very strongly aromatic when brushed. Keep in a buried pot to contain its spread.
7. French marigold (Tagetes patula) — long-standing companion planting tradition. Plant around seating areas and patio edges.
8. Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) — a British native herb, strongly aromatic, self-seeds readily.
9. Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare) — powerfully aromatic British native. Note: toxic if ingested, so grow away from edible crops and out of reach of children and pets.
10. Sage — aromatic Mediterranean herb, fully hardy in British gardens, excellent on a patio.
11. Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) — strongly lemon-scented, spreads vigorously, reliable and easy in any British garden.
12. Thyme — low-growing, drought-tolerant, and very aromatic. Plant along paving edges where it will be walked on.

The most effective use of these plants is to place them where you sit, brush them frequently, and plant them densely enough to create a consistent scent barrier in the immediate area.

Glass is one of the rare materials that can be recycled endlessly without losing quality. Its structure doesn’t break down, meaning a bottle can be melted and remade into another bottle again and again, no downgrade, no loss.

That’s very different from plastic. It’s cheaper and lighter to produce, which saves companies money, but the environmental cost is huge, pollution, landfill buildup, and long-term damage to ecosystems.

When recycled properly, glass has real advantages. Using crushed recycled glass (cullet) cuts the need for raw materials like sand and limestone, reduces energy use in furnaces, and lowers carbon emissions significantly. It also means less mining and less strain on natural habitats.

The catch? Recycling only works at its best when glass is clean and sorted by colour. Contamination or mixed glass often pushes it out of the “closed loop” and into lower-value uses instead of new bottles.

Handled properly, glass is one of the strongest examples of a true circular material, something we can keep using without running out or compromising quality.

A superb account for anyone interested in Latin.

Worth following because Latin still lives inside English, inside argument, and inside the foundations of Western civilization.
