It's good advice about keeping your gutters clean but you can't always do the work yourself.    I have four gutters at various heights and have been able to clean three of them in the past but one is above a large glass sunlounge and I can't do that one
In fact Mrs H and I were sitting in the sunlounge when she saw a large clump of grass growing up out of the overhead gutter.    I didn't sat anything but the next time she went out shopping I got a ladder out and walked on the coping stones and pulled the turf out
I didn't mention it again until she said that "you've been on the roof again" and made me promise not to do it again, which I did promise
Anyway it did me a favour because I think Gwynant  recommended Toby Hughes a local person  who cleans gutters and I used him. I'll use him again and it's lot safer for me and at least I won't get ear if I use Toby

I think the question setters need geography lessons ... the question about snakes gives Milford Haven as a North Wales village ... the question about North Wales sea defence has Neath Port Talbot as one of the answer options !!!

I did not do very well !

Climate change: Sabrina Lee quits buying new clothes

With her job as a TV weather presenter, it would be easy for Sabrina Lee to justify buying new clothes for work on a regular basis.

Instead she has set herself a challenge - to quit buying new clothes for the whole of 2024.

"There's pressure for me to look good because of my role and I know there's a lot of eyes on me," said Sabrina.

"But I'm a meteorologist, I studied the weather and climate at university and I also talk to the public about it... so I've realised that the fashion industry has a negative impact on the environment."

The fashion sector is responsible for somewhere between 2% and 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions, according to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

Controversial plan to demolish bungalow and build nine 'overbearing? homes approved
Concerns about drainage and traffic problems were also raised

Conwy?s planning committee backed controversial plans to demolish a bungalow and build nine new homes in its place in the village of Llansanffraid near Glan Conwy. Applicant Mr W Williams applied to Conwy?s planning department, seeking permission to demolish Glynton at Top Llan Road and build on the land.

The application was granted at this week?s planning committee meeting at Bodlondeb after the matter was deferred at a previous meeting, due to the details being amended late on by the developer. The new homes will be two storeys and varying between two, three, and four bedrooms.

How to clear clogged gutters and why it can cost you if you don't

Property expert Thomas Goodman says it will avoid expensive repairs to your home or problems in your garden

Scooping out a winter?s worth of leaf mould from your gutters is one of those mucky but essential spring tasks. They will often become clogged with leaves, twigs and debris and can quickly fall into disrepair.

You might not notice that your gutters are blocked until problems arise, so a spring clean can help prevent costly repairs. Neglecting them can then lead to structural damage, water staining and other expensive issues.
