THE most popular seaside destinations for a holiday this summer have been revealed - and Cornwall didn't take the top spot. Instead, the less popular Sandgate in Kent took the top spot, followed by beaches in Lincolnshire and Durham. The survey, conducted by Airbnb, revealed the top trending seaside destinations across the UK for this summer. The top spot was given to the destination with the highest year-on-year growth when booking for the summer season. Sandgate, a small village in Folkestone, is often overlooked in favour of the other popular Kent spots such as Whitstable, Ramsgate and Margate. The pebble beach has even recently opened a number of colourful beach huts, while families can opt for fish and chips from the nearby cafes. Leader of Sandgate Parish Council, Tim Prater, said: "Our award winning beach has held the Seaside Award for eight years running and we've got both long established and new places to eat and drink. Close behind Sandgate were …
Max Scherzer to Giants? Cy Young winner prefers West Coast destination ahead of trade deadline
The race for the NL West crown could very well come down to the race for a Cy Young winner on a floundering team. A Tuesday report from MLB.com's Mark Feinsand revealed that should Washington Nationals ace Max Scherzer waive his no-trade clause, the 37-year-old “strongly prefers the West Coast” as far as possible destinations are concerned. Feinsand went on to note three teams of interest that could absolutely use Scherzer: the Giants, Dodgers and Padres. It remains to be seen if Max Scherzer will be traded, but a source said the pitcher “strongly prefers the West Coast” to waive his no-trade clause. Given the state of the NL West, he could be the difference-maker in that race if he landed with the Dodgers, Giants or Padres. — Mark Feinsand (@Feinsand) July 27, 2021 San Francisco currently leads the NL West division in this three-horse race, with Los Angeles behind by two games, and San Diego even further behind (5.5 games as of Tuesday morning). As for why a …

International cruise holidays can restart for Brits in England from August
Cruise holidays abroad will be back on the cards for those in England, Grant Shapps has confirmed. The Secretary of State for Transport shared a new travel update on Twitter, in which he announced that people living in the US and EU countries will be able to visit England with no need for quarantine , provided they are double jabbed. The new rules will come into force on August 2. As part of the announcement, he added: "We're also able to confirm the restart of international cruises and flexible testing programmes to help key workers and drive our economic recovery.

How to make fast, easy skewers on the grill
By Melissa Clark , The New York Times It’s one of the most elemental cooking techniques: impaling food on a skewer or a stick and cooking it over an open fire. With iterations found throughout the world — the kebabs of the Middle East, the anticuchos of South America, the yakitori of Japan and the suya of Nigeria, to name a few — grilling food on skewers is a widespread practice that’s as richly diverse as it is satisfying. As any distracted s’mores maker who has incinerated a marshmallow knows, it can also be one of the trickiest activities to do well. With grilling season in full swing, now is the perfect time to run through some of its finer points. Choose the Right Skewers Any thin rod with a sharp end — whether it’s the swords of Turkish soldiers cooking their suppers on the battlefield (an oft-told tale, reflecting how the “shish” in “shish kebab” means “sword” or “skewer”), or tree branches foraged at campsites and destined for hot dogs — can be used as a …
