THERE is something splendid about standing on top of the rugged, lichened, 89-acre kingdom of Mullagrach; tasting the salt on my lips from the sea spray, watching the cormorants swirl, listening to the skylarks sing and knowing there's nothing but water between me and the North Pole.

EVERYTHING about Operation Arnon, the audacious rescue of four Israeli hostages - Noa Argamani, 26, Almog Meir Jan, 22, Andrey Kozlov, 27, and Shlomi Ziv, 41 - from two heavily guarded buildings in AlNuseirat, Gaza, seemed to be mission impossible. For starters, the raid - by undercover operatives of Yamam, the secretive anti-terrorism unit of the Israeli police, and Shin Bet, the Israeli equivalent of MI5 - took place in broad daylight, not under cover of darkness.

THE summer season is still limbering up here in sunny Majorca. But the incoming flights are already jam-packed, the hotels busy, the beaches filling up and, after weeks of appalling behaviour in some of the island's most notorious party zones, the locals are pushing back ? hard.

MOST political leaders have a peculiarity that sets them apart from the rest of us. Canada's Justin Trudeau is renowned for his colourful socks, Bertie Ahern once donned a canary-yellow suit, while Gordon Brown reportedly ate four KitKats a day. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

EVEN on a slightly nippy Monday night in May, Carrer de Santa Agnes — AKA the West End — in San Antonio, Ibiza, is throbbing to the beat of smashed glass, screaming hen parties, football songs and aggressive bar touts. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

THERE were plenty of lumps and bumps in Max Cotton's year of total food self-sufficiency - potato blight, rat infestations, hunger and a raging obsession with weather reports. But it is 'Lemon-gate' that still jangles the most. Because, one moment, the last lemon of the three-lemon harvest produced by Max's single, small, waxy-leafed lemon tree was safely stashed in the family fridge. And the next, it was gone.

WHEN Jeremy Clarkson decided to buy a pub, he knew nothing about running one. 'Still don't!' he says, waving a bottle of his own Hawkstone lager around as he addresses the crowds at the official opening of The Farmer's Dog, his brand new pub serving all-British produce - right down to expensive home-grown black peppercorns and Cornish tea. (But the UK prime minister won't be there. Keir Starmer, apparently, is barred.) [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

SHERIDAN SMITH is one of our biggest, best and most versatile actresses. She has awards coming out of her ears.
