Kiwi fruit from Kent?

Fruit traditionally found in warmer foreign countries is being grown in the UK.

Kiwi fruit are being grown near Canterbury and melons in Lichfield. Wine-making grapes have been planted as far north as Yorkshire and Britain even has its first tea plantation in Cornwall.

The rising temperatures in the UK mean our climate is becoming warm enough to grow a wider variety of crops.

Kind Cowell

Simon Cowell has shown his softer side.

The judge known for his mean remarks to wannabe pop stars has paid for 12-year-old Megan Kershaw, who is being treated for a rare liver cancer, to take her dream trip to Disney World in Florida. As well as the flights and hotel he’s paid for Megan to swim with dolphins too.

Picture perfect

Girlguiding UK has launched a campaign

to show how magazines make celebrities look perfect.

They want magazines, who make models and celebrities look perfect by airbrushing them, to label the photos to say what they’ve done.

Altering images on a computer can change a person’s body shape, condition of their skin and hair and make them look almost perfect. Girlguiding say more than 1,100 girls asked said that they worry most about their appearance. Guides are signing a petition to get magazines to label altered images.
