People are just learning they've been drinking Pimm's wrong - and the reason is surprising
With its sweet flavour and fruity base, Pimm's has long been one of the main tipples of choice during the Summer. The classic Pimm's No. 1 Cup is usually mixed with lemonade, before being poured over cut-up fruit, cucumber, and fresh mint leaves. Often synonymous with the prestigious tennis tournament Wimbledon, strawberries are one of the most common additions to a glass of the cocktail (along with mint sprigs and cucumber slices). But according to the brand, many people are consuming the drink incorrectly - without even realising it. While many may assume this is related to how they prepare the drink, the mixers they are using or the fruit they add, it is actually related to less obvious, according to the makers behind Pimms. The reason is, according to them, the glassware (or other drinking containers) that people are using. In an effort to solved this, Pimm's has crafted its own line of servings sets created in collaboration with tennis-pro-turned-artist, Gabriella Taylor. Each set contains two wine glasses and a carafe. The glassware pieces were originally hand-painted by Gabriella on canvas, then digitized and printed onto the limited run of carafes and wine glasses These decorations include strawberries, mint sprigs and cucumber slices, alongside fruit-filled trophies, tennis rackets and players. The serving set, according to the brand, 'offers fans a creative way to enjoy Pimm's at home'. Gabriella's work will also be on show at Wimbledon, appearing at the 'Pimm's on The Hill' bar at The Championships. 'Pimm's has always brought people together to celebrate summer and sport,' said Zoë Hetherington, Pimm's Brand Manager. 'Collaborating with Gabi has allowed us to reimagine our most iconic serve, with this must-have glassware encapsulating everything we love about the British summer,' Meanwhile, artist and former tennis professional Gabriella Taylor, artist and former tennis professional, added that Wimbledon 'has always been more than a tournament to [her]'. She continued: 'It's where my love of tennis took root. 'When Pimm's asked me to create a painting that represented what Wimbledon is all about, I had to make it of The Hill. 'An iconic location. It holds the energy of every cheer, every hope, and every heartbreak. 'In this piece, I've tried to capture that electricity, that shared moment of awe we've all felt there. 'This is my love letter to the tournament and to The Hill that watches the game grow.' The serving sets cost £34.99 and are available from now.

B&Q launches £14 flower which stops cats from pooing in your garden
There are some easy and non-harmful ways to keep cats out of your garden if you notice your lawn is being used as a cat litter tray - and it means you won't be breaking the law either While cats are free to roam the streets and gardens it can be seriously frustrating when they decide to use your garden as a toilet. Cats typically don't tend to go in their own gardens, so instead will venture into the surrounding areas, and if you find yours is a target, there are two certain plants you can grow to ward them off. This cruelty-free trick will make sure cats steer clear of your garden and protect your plants and soil from being a litter tray. By planting a lemon balm or a lemon thyme bush, it will ensure the felines stay away thanks to the fragranced leaves. A lemon balm plant is an easy bushy perennial herb to grow as it can thrive in different conditions. It also has antiviral and antibacterial properties and the leaves release a strong lemon fragrance when they are bruised. Lemon balm's prefer sun or partial shade with well-drained and moist soil. If planted correctly, the lemon balm plant can grow rapidly, and is ideal for filling up a blank area of the garden. It's a perennial which means it will grow back every year with its impressive lemon-scented leaves, and also produces creamy-white or pale purple flowers in summer which honey bees love too. Not only will it keep cats away thanks to it's citrus scent and texture, the leaves can also be used in cooking to give a zesty taste to all kinds of salads, homemade sauces and fish dishes. It can also make a refreshing herbal tea or great in a jug of Pimms. The leaves can also act as a mosquito repellent if rubbed onto the skin. The plants can be placed in pots around the garden, or specifically in areas where cats target and you can buy it from B&Q in a 9cm pot for £13.99. Alternatively, Lemon thyme is a hardy plant that can also thrive in various conditions making it a reliable and safe plant for keen gardeners that will last for years. It produces small tubular pink or lilac flowers in early to mid-summer and is a plant that attracts bees and butterflies, but because of it's citrus scent, cats stay away from it. According to the RSPCA, cats are protected by law and are free to roam, which may result in wandering into other peoples gardens or allotments, but people can only deter them in non-harmful ways which won't cause pain or distress. Homeowners are warned that causing unnecessary suffering to a cat is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act 2006 (AWA). It may also be an offence to put down snares, poison or an unlicensed deterrent. Other fragrant plants to deter cats Lavender Rosemary Rue Catnip Pennyroyal Oregano Curry plant

What it's like to be a Wimbledon ball kid By Alison Maloney WHILE the likes of Carlos Alcaraz, Coco Gauff and Andy Murray keep us entertained during this summer's Championships, spare a thought for those unsung heroes that keep the tournament going. Personal trainer Alex Crockford, now 33, served as a ball boy at Wimbledon in 2005 and 2006, and has lifted the lid to SunSport on what it's really like. 'Standing still for hours is one of the toughest parts of being a ball boy,' he says. 'It's quite strict and you don't want to let your team down or feel like you're doing a bad job. 'I remember one really hot day, I clearly hadn't fuelled or hydrated myself appropriately. "I did have a very faint moment, and started seeing blurry stars. 'There are six BBGs on the court and a captain, which was me, so I was standing to the left of the umpire chair and I was away from my water. 'I had to go outside of my position, get some water and re-balance myself before I could continue." Click
