Поверхня нашої Землі звивається від життя: це визначальна риса нашої планети, яка, наскільки ми знаємо, робить її унікальною серед космосу. Але ми, можливо, недооцінили, наскільки глибоко під нашими ногами можуть процвітати істоти Землі. Під час амбітного 8-річного перепису міжнародна група вчених виявила дивовижне розмаїття мікробів, що живуть під поверхнею нашої планети, глибше, ніж усе, що ми відкривали […]

SHE may be sisters with the future Queen of England, but Pippa Middleton has a swanky life of her own.

Instagram/bucklebury.farmThe farm did a post about the possible opening of a nursery for kids aged nine months to five-years-old[/caption]
A message posted on the official Bucklebury Farm Instagram account earlier this month read: “Bucklebury Farm is considering opening a nursery for children aged 9 months to 5 years.
“If you’re interested, please feel free to DM us or email nursery@buckleburyfarm.co.uk to stay updated.
“We’d also love to hear your thoughts and suggestions – let us know what you think.”
The couple bought the 72-acre Bucklebury Farm in Berkshire back in October 2020 for £1.5million, and they now run it with business partner James Murray.
The location was previously a deer safari park, but they have since transformed it to have glamping pods and to be a kid’s attraction with ziplines, a petting zoo and a play area
There are more than 160 animals, including rabbits, goats, donkeys, pigs and chickens.
Last year, Richard Eden wrote in the Mail that they had plans to expand it further.
He shared: “Carole’s son-in-law, James Matthews, bought Bucklebury Farm in Berkshire for £1.5million in 2020.
“Now, I hear, he’s opening its lodge for parties, as well as events and even Pilates.”
Pippa and her husband have previously been spotted at the farm, along with Kate Middleton and her kids.
Kate and William are still regular visitors to the Middleton family home and are known to take trips to the local boozer the Boot Inn.
In fact Prince George spent his first few weeks in Bucklebury rather than Kensington Palace.
If Pippa – who is estimated to be worth £43million – does open a nursery at the farm, her two youngest children could attend, Grace, three, and Rose, one.
They also have son Arthur, five, who has started school.
This follows Pippa and Kate’s mum Carole Middleton running her Party Pieces business, after she realised she could make some money from creating party bags.
She grew the firm into a multi-million-pound business, which helped fund her kids attending the elite boarding school Marlborough College.
Special role Pippa Middleton could get when Kate is Queen
KATE Middleton is extremely close to her family, including mum Carole and sister Pippa.
Royal author Phil Dampier told Fabulous that Pippa Middleton could be given a similar role to Queen Camilla’s younger sister, Annabel Elliott, who is one of her six “companions”.
He said: “I certainly think there could be a role for Pippa as a lady-in-waiting or companion type role.
“This needs to be someone the then Queen can trust and rely on, and who better than her sister?
“Pippa has some commercial interests but I’m sure by the time Kate becomes Queen she would be happy to fulfil that role if required.
“It’s not necessarily a full time job so she would be available.
“We all know what a sensation she was at their wedding in 2011 and since then she has kept a relatively low profile and of course is happily married.”
Another person he thought could be in line for a “companion” position is Kate’s stylist and close friend Natasha Archer, as she is “someone else she trusts and would be ideal for a supportive post.”
It wasn’t such a fairytale ending for Party Pieces, however, which was badly hit by Covid restrictions.
In April 2023, the company called in advisers at restructuring firm Interpath to try to raise fresh funds for the business.
However, the family decided to move on from the company and in May 2023 the business sold in a pre-package deal to the Essex-based entrepreneur James Sinclair.
Philippa Middleton, known to most as Pippa, is the middle child of the three Middleton children – Catherine, Princess of Wales, and James William Middleton, an entrepreneur whose company sells cake-making kits for birthdays.

Pippa tied the knot with hedge fund manager James Spencer Matthews in 2017, who was born in August 1975 to parents David, who owns the luxury Eden Rock resort in St Barts in the Caribbean, and artist mother Jane.
Pippa and James met in 2006 on the Caribbean island of St Barts and had an on-off relationship before they became a steady couple in 2014.
James is the heir to the Scottish title of Laird of Glen Affric and his childhood was split between St Barts and Caunton Manor in Lincolnshire.

SHAKIRA was cheered on by her biggest and most adorable fans at the Grammys – her beloved sons.
The singer took home the award for Best Latin Pop Album for Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran (Woman Don’t Cry Anymore) on Sunday evening, and her sons, Milan, 11, and Sasha, 9, were quick to jump up in delight to celebrate.

The two boys stole the show as they shared in her joyGetty
The iconic singer wasted no time in wrapping her kids up in a hug as they jumped up and down, with the sweet moment being caught on camera before she took to the stage.
Shakira then celebrated them in her acceptance speech, telling them: “Milan and Sasha, who are here with me, I’m so proud of you guys, of your kind hearts.
“Thank you so much for supporting me the way you do. I love you.”
The boys then completely stole the show by blowing their mom a kiss from their seats, melting the hearts of those watching at home.
Later that evening, Shakira took to the stage for a performance, bringing the house down with a classically high-energy dance routine in a sparkling gold catsuit.
Milan and Sasha were suitably dressed up at the event, taking to the red carpet with their mom in matching silver and black suits.
After the event, they were seen gripping on to her hands as they made their way backstage – with Shakira smiling as they did so.
Shakira’s win comes after the star took seven years away from the spotlight.
Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran was her big return to music, and tracked her very public break-up from her longtime love.
Former Barcelona player Gerard Piqué and Shakira announced their break-up in 2022 after 11 years together.
She also found herself in trouble with tax authorities in Spain who demanded they fork out a staggering £50million.
Declaring herself a “wounded She Wolf” in an interview with Rolling Stone, she was determined to see the bright side by turning her heartache into art.
And now she took home a Grammy.

HOW did the bubbly receptionist from the iconic showTattoo Fixers become a West End star?
Paisley Billings, 31, appeared in all six seasons of the hit E4 reality show about botched tattoos which ran from 2015 to 2019.
InstagramThe actress revealed why she has ditched TV and fame – for now[/caption]
E4Paisley previously worked as the Tattoo Fixers receptionist[/caption]
E4She enjoyed some romantic nights out on Celebs Go Dating, but she failed to meet her match[/caption]
Since then, she swapped the screen for the stage as she took on the London West End starring in Six and the newPercy Jacksonmusical, The Lightning Thief.
She told the Metro: “I feel like if I’m on a stage, I’m living the dream. I feel like it wasn’t really known that I was always an actor.
“While I was [on Tattoo Fixers] I wasn’t acting at all. I think that’s what may have caused a little bit of confusion. I was a receptionist on TV, but I’ll be honest, I don’t know much about receptioning.”
But Paisley is no stranger to theatre as she appeared as young Nala in The Lion King when she was around 10 years old.
She is also a trained dancer, following extensive lessons in street and contemporary.
Despite now living her dream, Paisley admitted that Tattoo Fixers ending was very “bittersweet”.
She revealed: “I’d been doing it for such a long time and I really missed performing but it was also really, really sad to leave it behind.
“Obviously, Sketch and I being in it from the very beginning, we were pretty much like family by the end of it.
“So that was difficult, saying goodbye to the people, but I think it came at a time where I was ready for something new.”
Paisley also appeared on series one of Celebs Go Dating back in 2017.
The self-confessed “dating virgin” did manage to bag some dates, but fans were left in tears when she was dumped on the show.
After falling for handsome Corey, she couldn’t hold back tears when she was told that he didn’t want to have a second date with her.
Speaking about her dates in the future,Paisley told The Sun online that she definitely didn’t want anyone with a “s*** tattoo”.
Where stars of Celebs Go Dating are now?
Celebs Go Dating premiered in 2016 and has since aired a whopping twelve series of the show and has helped almost 50 famous faces try and find love.
Whilst many didn’t find their forever partner on the programme, many of the show’s biggest names have nonetheless managed to settle down of their own accord.
Charlotte Crosby (series 1 – 2016) – The show’s first big signee was Charlotte who was fresh from quitting Geordie Shore and splitting with on-off love Gaz Beadle. On the show, she enjoyed dates with a stripper named Jeavon and MAFS hunk Brad Skelly –years before he took part in the E4 marriage programme. These days, the reality megastar has found love with businessman Jake Ankers and the pair share daughter Alba Jean together. Having got engaged in Dubai last year, with the proposal filmed for her BBC series Charlotte in Sunderland, the TV couple are now planning a wedding of their dreams as well as hoping for more children.
Ferne McCann (series 2 – 2017) – Ferne was fresh out of the I’m A Celebrity jungle when she joined the Celebrity Dating Agency. Although the TOWIE beauty failed to find lasting love on the programme, she soon became a mother to baby Sunday with her jailed ex, Arthur Collins. These days she is happily with her fiance Lorri Haines and the couple even have their own child together, Finty.
Jorgie Porter (series 2 – 2017) – Like Ferne, Hollyoaks actress Jorgie was snapped up for the show after a stint Down Under. She is now a mum-of-one to baby Forest and has recently given fans a peek into motherhood and her home life with fiance Ollie for the very first time on ITV reality series, Drama Queens.
Charlotte Dawson (series 3 – 2017) – Charlotte was all up for a laugh when she headed to the Agency after making a reputation for herself as a wild party animal. During her time on the programme, she enjoyed a sordid forbidden romance with fellow celeb, The X Factor star Frankie Coccozza which quickly fizzled out. Now the star is a mum to two boys, Noah and Jude, with her rugby ace partner, Matt Sarsfield.
Kerry Katona (series 6 – 2019) – Whilst often known for being unlucky in love, Kerry attempted to find the one with a turn on CGD. With three failed marriages and five children under her belt, Kerry treated the programme as a last-chance saloon. Whilst romance did not blossom, she used the agent’s advice with her next partner, fiance Ryan Mahoney whom she met shortly after the series wrapped. Kerry and Ryan are still happily together to this day and live in her stunning Cheshire abode.
Laura Anderson and Gary Lucy (series 11 – 2022) – Love Island star Laura and Hollyoaks actor Gary ended up dating one another after both signing up for the show’s eleventh series. They went on to have a daughter together, Bonnie, but their romance has been on-off with the pair even being separated during Laura’s pregnancy. Although it looked as though the romance had gotten back on track, things appear to have cooled once again in recent weeks.
Vanessa Feltz (series 12 – 2023) – Vanessa signed up for the show in the wake of her highly-publicised split from her ex, Ben Ofeudo. Vanessa left E4 fans shocked when she was criticised for her rude demeanour on dates and was called out by the show’s agents for her behaviour with the gentleman she was paired up with on the show. Vanessa is still believed to be single almost a year on from the show.
Adam Collard (series 12 – 2023) – The Love Island bad boy caused tension on the show after he hooked up with fashion model and OnlyFans creator Lottie Moss during filming but later confirmed he wanted nothing more with Kate Moss’ little sis. These days, he is loved up with sports broadcaster Laura Woods with the couple regularly putting on the PDA when out in public.
Paisley can be now be seen in theatre show The Lightning Thief where she plays seven different characters.
It runs at The Other Palace in London and has been extended until August.
However, she hasn’t said goodbye to TV completely as she said: “If there’s a world in which there could be a musical comedy, or talk show vibes that would be quite fun.”
She teased: “Maybe a documentary here and there.”
