Dwr Cymru is warning a hosepipe ban could be introduced as early as this weekend for around 33,000 properties in parts of west Wales. The company says record demand, driven by weeks of hot and dry conditions, has put increasing pressure on local water networks. Customers are being urged to use less water. How would a hosepipe ban affect you? The UK could be heading for a bumper butterfly season because of the warm weather. Wildlife charity Butterfly Conservation says it’s expecting large numbers of the beautiful “painted lady” butterfly to arrive from Africa and Asia and is urging members of the public to look out for them. Sounds spectacular! So today we’re asking when has nature blown you away? What have you spotted in Wales and elsewhere? And finally, it’s the last day of term for many schools and with it comes the dilemma of what gift to give your child’s teacher. Do you buy one, do you not? What do you get if you do, and how much should you spend? Do the teachers really want presents? Why do we give end of term gifts to teachers? Call or WhatsApp 03700 100 110 or Text 8 10 12. Be part of the nation's conversation.
