thedailymirror--2020-05-26--Brits 'will soon be able to invite family and friends to meet in their garden'

Brits will finally be allowed to invite friends and family members for gatherings in their gardens next month , after weeks of being apart .
Measures being weighed up by ministers are said to include allowing small groups to meet outdoors as the UK slowly comes out of lockdown .

However people from no more than two households will be able to meet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ invite members of a different household a week later , The Sun reports .
The UK has been in lockdown since March 23 , meaning families and friends have gone weeks without seeing each other .
For the latest on the coronavirus pandemic , click here At yesterday 's daily briefing , Boris Johnson gave the green light for small social gatherings outside from the end of June .
According to The Daily Telegraph , the Prime Minister also brought up the idea of introducing wider 'social bubbles ' during a cabinet meeting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ press conference .
The scheme - which could see up to 10 people come together outside - has already proved popular in New Zealand , though the Pacific Ocean island nation has only recorded 21 Covid-19 deaths , compared to Britain 's 37,000 .
Health Secretary Matt Hancock told today 's daily briefing : “ There is a yearning to see others from another household , and we are looking at how to make this happen in a safe way.

Brits 'will soon be allowed to invite family and friends to meet in their garden'
Brits will finally be allowed to invite friends and family members for gatherings in their gardens from next month, according to new reports.
Measures being weighed up by ministers are said to include allowing small groups to meet outdoors - including for picnics in parks - as the UK slowly comes out of lockdown.
It could happen as early as next month, according to reports - while similar guidelines will become active from this week in Scotland.
If it goes ahead, children could finally be reunited with their grandparents, as long as they do not go indoors together.

However, members of one household can only select people from one other to meet with until restrictions are further eased, The Sun reports.
The UK has been in lockdown since March 23, meaning families and friends have gone weeks without seeing each other.
But the rules mean tough decisions for households, who may have to pick which family or friends to socialise with.
How you have helped raise £600m to support good causes through the coronavirus crisis National Lottery players have raised £600m which will support good causes through the coronavirus.

You can't meet a household one weekend and then reunite with another the next.
People must maintain social distancing at all times and remain outdoors.
The Times reports there had been hopes households could join in a 'bubble' that would allow physical contact but this has been ruled out amid fears it could restart the epidemic.
At yesterday's daily briefing, Boris Johnson gave the green light for small social gatherings outside from the end of June.
According to The Daily Telegraph, the Prime Minister also brought up the idea of introducing wider 'social bubbles' during a cabinet meeting on Monday afternoon, hours before the press conference.
The scheme - which could see up to 10 people come together outside - has already proved popular in New Zealand, though the Pacific Ocean island nation has only recorded 21 Covid-19 deaths, compared to Britain's 37,000.
The 50-page road map had mentioned the possibility of bubbles being created, with households nominated another to meet with.

thedailymirror--2020-05-27--Our sex life is phenomenal despite 45year age gap - and I proposed in strip club

When 27-year-old Rachael Chenault shared her first kiss with her boss John Penzera , 72 , they `` felt fireworks '' .
And despite their 45-year age gap , the couple 's romance has grown to true love , and they are now engaged after photographer Rachael got down on one knee with a very `` indecent proposal '' .
She says they have a `` phenomenal sex life '' , and that their family and friends have accepted their relationship despite John being older than her grandmother .
To pop the question , Rachael took John to a nightclub @ @ @ @ @ @ @ before joining the three naked performers on stage and asking him to marry her .
Recalling her `` indecent proposal , '' Rachael , of Belle Vernon , Pennsylvania , USA , who met John three years ago when he employed her as a guard at the security firm he runs , said : “ It ’ s quite a vulgar story .
“ It was not a traditional proposal by any stretch of the imagination .
“ We were with a bunch of friends at a strip club and I had ordered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with me .
I ’ m terrible at keeping secrets and was worried about ruining the surprise , so it was a bit spontaneous .
“ I arranged for him to have an exotic dance with three beautiful dancers .
He was sitting on the stage in front of a room full of people when , fully clothed , I joined the three naked dancers and proposed to him there and then .
“ I told him to get this out of his system because he would never have a naked woman dance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It ’ s definitely not the traditional way to do it .
He had no choice and said yes straight away !
” Instantly attracted to John , despite him being 26 years older than her 46-year-old mother , and almost 20 years older than her 55-year-old dad , Rachael , who has a son , Levi , five , from a previous relationship , says they are soulmates .
She insisted : “ To us , age is just a number .
He ’ s my soulmate and the love of my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of being with anyone else even after he has gone .
I know nobody could compare to him .
It does put a dread on things if you think too far ahead , but I try not to .
I have him now and I ’ m thankful for him .
“ We have an incredibly close relationship .
It ’ s scarily close , we can both read even a slight change in mood in the other .
“ And we have a phenomenal sex life , too .
Age has nothing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spontaneous and can ’ t keep our hands off each other .
“ We rarely make it to the bedroom .
Sometimes it will just happen outside , in the parking lots or in woods . ''
When John interviewed Rachael for a job in December 2017 , the magnetism between them was immediate - although she did fear that getting involved with him might endanger her position .
“ I was like , ‘ I want him ’ .
It was his mannerisms , the way he carried himself .
It was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ us , ” she recalled .
“ I think we both knew how we felt straight away , but he was going through a divorce at the time , so I didn ’ t want to rush things , or be the one to make the first move .
“ My son ’ s father is 58 years old , so age gaps have never been a problem for me , but I definitely had no clue that John was as old as he is .
“ I thought he was in his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he does not look or act his age . ''
And John was clearly unfazed by the fact his admirer was younger than his own son .
“ He made the first move and kissed me , '' said Rachael .
`` It was a month after I was hired .
He had been teaching me how to input a code into a digital box and as I went to walk out he grabbed me and pulled me in for a kiss .
It felt like fireworks .
`` It was amazing and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because of what he was going through at the time , I didn ’ t think it would happen .
“ It was like my dreams had come true .
It was like that movie moment when the guy grabs the girl and leans her over for a kiss .
“ But I did then freak out because I was worried about getting fired.
” Overcoming her fears , a week later the pair went on their first date to a local bar , where they realised how much they had in common @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in music .
We both like classic rock .
He was into motorcycles and I absolutely love them .
And we both have the same fashion style , '' she said .
“ We just kept talking and haven ’ t stopped since.
” A month later , the pair officially became boyfriend and girlfriend , but kept the relationship quiet for two years until John 's divorce was finalised .
Then they broke the news to John ’ s 28-year-old son and 23-year-old daughter , who were simply pleased to see their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an issue , I did not think it was weird at all .
When I do see his children , we get along well , '' Rachael added .
Being attracted to older men is nothing new for Rachael , who dated a man of 34 when she was just 17 , while she started seeing Levi 's dad when she was in her early 20s .
She said : “ Older men are more mature .
Men at the age of 27 are still boys and I ’ ve never found them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t have it together .
I ’ ve always been an old soul .
I have myself together and know what I want from life , so I find it easier to connect to older guys .
`` It drives me crazy when people say , 'Do you have daddy issues ? '
No I do n't , nor have I ever and I certainly would n't look at my fiancé as a father figure for myself .
“ At first , my family were not happy about me dating older men , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ told them I wasn ’ t going to date guys my own age as there was no attraction , so they accepted it .
“ When they met John , they were surprised because he doesn ’ t look his age .
They were worried because he was much older than any other guy I ’ d dated , but once they got to know him , they really liked him and now we do things together as a family.
” And , a week after her `` indecent proposal , '' Vietnam @ @ @ @ @ @ @ officer and a gentleman when - having already bought a ring with the same intention - he got down on one knee at Rachael 's favourite childhood haunt , Roundhill Park in Elizabeth , Pennsylvania , and asked for her hand .
“ It was a ring I ’ d been looking at online and I ’ d showed him how pretty it was , even before we were dating and he had remembered , '' she said .
`` It was a complete surprise and was the best thing .
“ We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , too , hopefully on top of the hill .
We ’ re not sure when it will happen now though , because of Covid-19 , so we ’ re enjoying the engagement . ''
At the moment , Rachael is living in an apartment with her son , while John does up a home in Latrobe , Pennsylvania , for them to move into as a family .
“ My son is close to John and really looks up to him , '' she said .
`` Levi has Attention Deficit Disorder @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and John is great with him , really patient .
He ’ s a really good role model.
” Although the couple have been accepted by friends and family , they do get the odd comment from strangers , who assume Rachael is out with her father and that John is her son ’ s grandfather .
“ We don ’ t even listen to it , we just shrug it off , ” Rachael said .
`` Anyway , more often than not people tell us how good we look together.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ hindered things in the bedroom either .
Rachael laughed : `` I think he was quite old fashioned until he met me , but I ’ ve taught him a lot .
“ I ’ m learning from him every day in other ways , he ’ s learning from me and we ’ ll never stop .
“ We do have our differences .
He is stuck in his ways and I know he ’ s not going to change now .
“ We do have disagreements about some things – mostly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them to me and I won ’ t know what he ’ s talking about . ''
Rachael 's only fear about their age gap is that she will lose John too soon .
She said : “ I know he ’ s not going to live forever , which is something I worry about every day .
“ But all that aside , it ’ s so nice to be with someone older because they have their head together .
He ’ s mature and has opened my eyes to new experiences @ @ @ @ @ @ @ boring with us .
He is considerate and tells me every day that he loves me.
” Meanwhile , John , who as well as serving in the US army worked as a prison officer , before running his security firm , is devoted to Rachael .
He said : “ I was attracted by her demeanour , the way she carried herself .
She was a fast learner and so easy to talk to .
“ I was a bit concerned because of the age difference , but it didn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t look at it as being a major difference .
We continue like any other couple .
“ People tell us we make a good-looking couple .
I look 20 to 30 years younger , so people rarely question it .
My kids had no concerns about it , either .
“ Rachael 's my life , she ’ s beautiful , intelligent , sexy and I love her .
She ’ s so smart and really helps me out , and I hope I do the same for her .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but she came into my life and it ’ s just got better and better .
I can ’ t wait to marry her .

A month later, the pair officially became boyfriend and girlfriend, but kept the relationship quiet for two years until John's divorce was finalised.
Then they broke the news to John’s 28-year-old son and 23-year-old daughter, who were simply pleased to see their dad happy.
"It was never an issue, I did not think it was weird at all. When I do see his children, we get along well," Rachael added.
Being attracted to older men is nothing new for Rachael, who dated a man of 34 when she was just 17, while she started seeing Levi's dad when she was in her early 20s.
She said: “Older men are more mature. Men at the age of 27 are still boys and I’ve never found them appealing.
“They just don’t have it together. I’ve always been an old soul. I have myself together and know what I want from life, so I find it easier to connect to older guys.
"It drives me crazy when people say, 'Do you have daddy issues?' No I don't, nor have I ever and I certainly wouldn't look at my fiancé as a father figure for myself.

“At first, my family were not happy about me dating older men, but when I was 18, I told them I wasn’t going to date guys my own age as there was no attraction, so they accepted it.
“When they met John, they were surprised because he doesn’t look his age. They were worried because he was much older than any other guy I’d dated, but once they got to know him, they really liked him and now we do things together as a family.”
And, a week after her "indecent proposal," Vietnam war veteran John showed he was an officer and a gentleman when - having already bought a ring with the same intention - he got down on one knee at Rachael's favourite childhood haunt, Roundhill Park in Elizabeth, Pennsylvania, and asked for her hand.
“It was a ring I’d been looking at online and I’d showed him how pretty it was, even before we were dating and he had remembered," she said.
"It was a complete surprise and was the best thing.
“We want to get married at Roundhill Park, too, hopefully on top of the hill. We’re not sure when it will happen now though, because of Covid-19, so we’re enjoying the engagement."
At the moment, Rachael is living in an apartment with her son, while John does up a home in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, for them to move into as a family.
“My son is close to John and really looks up to him," she said. "Levi has Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD) and is mildly autistic, and John is great with him, really patient. He’s a really good role model.”
Although the couple have been accepted by friends and family, they do get the odd comment from strangers, who assume Rachael is out with her father and that John is her son’s grandfather.
“We don’t even listen to it, we just shrug it off,” Rachael said. "Anyway, more often than not people tell us how good we look together.”

And the age gap has not hindered things in the bedroom either.
Rachael laughed: "I think he was quite old fashioned until he met me, but I’ve taught him a lot.
“I’m learning from him every day in other ways, he’s learning from me and we’ll never stop.
“We do have our differences. He is stuck in his ways and I know he’s not going to change now.
“We do have disagreements about some things – mostly old movies! He will be explaining them to me and I won’t know what he’s talking about."
Rachael's only fear about their age gap is that she will lose John too soon.
She said: “I know he’s not going to live forever, which is something I worry about every day.
“But all that aside, it’s so nice to be with someone older because they have their head together. He’s mature and has opened my eyes to new experiences.
“It’s never got boring with us. He is considerate and tells me every day that he loves me.”
Meanwhile, John, who as well as serving in the US army worked as a prison officer, before running his security firm, is devoted to Rachael.
He said: “I was attracted by her demeanour, the way she carried herself. She was a fast learner and so easy to talk to.
“I was a bit concerned because of the age difference, but it didn’t bother her at all. We don’t look at it as being a major difference. We continue like any other couple.
“People tell us we make a good-looking couple. I look 20 to 30 years younger, so people rarely question it. My kids had no concerns about it, either.
“Rachael's my life, she’s beautiful, intelligent, sexy and I love her. She’s so smart and really helps me out, and I hope I do the same for her.
“I wasn’t looking for love, but she came into my life and it’s just got better and better. I can’t wait to marry her.”

A vet has issued a warning to owners who throw sticks for their dogs to chase after sharing a grisly discovery .

WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT. A vet has advised dog owners to throw balls or rubber toys for dogs to chase rather than sticks after revealing a border collie who required surgery was not a rare case
A vet has issued a warning to owners who throw sticks for their dogs to chase after sharing a grisly discovery.
The family of border collie Dash noticed he seemed 'upset' and was refusing to eat when they returned home from a trip to the park.
Unsure what was wrong with him, they took Dash to the Animal Referral Hospital (ARH) in Sydney, where the emergency team determined he was experiencing pain in his mouth and the back of his neck.
Dash was sedated and the team said they discovered a 'penetrating wound' on his tongue and could feel a hard object they believed to be a stick in his throat.
He was then put into the care of specialist surgeon Dr David Simpson, who removed the stick which had become lodged, as reported by News.com.au.
Incredibly, the stick remained largely in one piece - although small parts did splinter off, which also had to be removed.
Dr Simpson said: "Typically the enthusiasm of the average 'stick-chaser' is their downfall.
"The dog runs to retrieve the stick with great energy and if the stick lands end-on just as the dog catches up with it, the forward momentum of the dog will force the stick through the back of the dog’s throat or under the tongue.
"Dash was lucky the stick stopped just inside the chest and it didn’t puncture the heart or lungs. Dash was also lucky we were able to find the stick and removed it and the many small bark fragments that split off it."
Thankfully Dash had since made a full recovery, but Dr Simpson said not all dogs are so lucky and he has seen several cases with 'less happy endings'.
He said the border collie was not a unique case or the worse he has seen, adding: "Dog owners love to play fetch with their dogs and while it is a great bonding activity, it’s far safer to play with balls or rubber toys than with sticks."
