            <description><![CDATA[Coming across a large row of peculiarly sparse meat shelves while wandering around the supermarket one afternoon it became apparent after close inspection of the shelf talking price tickets, proffering succulent sausages, hearty burgers and exotic kebabs, that barbeque season had arrived. What is it about the Great British summer that sees grown men turn into Supermarket Sweep clones, racing down the meat aisles to fill their trolly while the sun smirks from above? And not forgetting the obligatory family trip down to the local DIY store with grand designs on a wonderfully decked garden haven for the highly anticipated...]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ As music lovers all over the country head to open fields, leaving their inhibitions at home and transcending into the hedonistic world of beats and beer, you know the great British music festival season is underway. One of the best things about summer is the plethora of music festivals that pop up around the country providing a platform (or five) to see all your favourite bands... and a fair few new ones, all in one place. While we keep our fingers crossed for a weekend of sunshine, the iconic Glastonbury mud slide images and an influx of welly boots...]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Over one hundred and fifty of the world&rsquo;s elite golfers prepared to tee off and vie for The Open Championship at Royal St George for the most prestigious event of the golfing calendar eager to land the coveted Claret Jug, with emotional first time major victor Darren Clarke taking home the spoils with an impressive display of golfing prowess. The distinct shape of the trophy now forms the instantly recognisable Open Championship brand identity, yet this iconic outline may never have come to fruition if it were not for a masterful young Tom Morris winning his third successive Open...]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Passport? Check. Tickets? Check. Sun cream? Check. Glasses, prescription sunglasses, contact lenses, sunglasses, cases, lens cloth, contact lens solutions? Check, check, check...for those of us with less than perfect eyesight, there is a bit more to consider when packing our suitcase for a sunshine break. Whether our preference is glasses or contact lenses - or both, we have to consider a list of necessities to pack in order for our poor eyesight not to lead to a poor holiday. Contact lens wearers will sympathise with the first obstacle for our eyes during our trip to the sun – flying....]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ As the Old England Club waves goodbye to another epic Wimbledon fortnight, the wait to see a Brit reach the final of what is regarded by most players as the most prestigious Grand Slam event continues.&nbsp; We saw Dovak Djokovic lift his first Wimbledon title to end defending Champion Rafael Nadal&rsquo;s 20-game winning streak and earn top spot in the world rankings. This was a more comfortable performance from Djokovic than his quarter final match against Nadal at the London ATP World Tour Finals last November. During that match, he was hampered in the opening set by a persistent...]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[As we draw the line under another unforgettable Rugby 6 Nations tournament, it was England that took home the trophy and the spoils. The England players will be particularly thankful for the confidence boost in this Rugby World Cup year in the lead up to New Zealand as they look to reclaim their World Cup title of 2003. Ireland scrum-half Thomas O'Leary will have been disappointed to have been sidelined for their final game that put the break on an England grand slam after sustaining an eye injury. But the untimely incident that caused O'Leary's eye to bleed and affect...]]></description>

This year, under the chosen key theme of ‘Sight’, the hotly anticipated celebrity challenge sees popular celebrities take part in the Red Nose Desert Trek, raising the profile of charitable work that aims to eliminate avoidable blindness in developing countries.

            <description><![CDATA[It seems the whole world has a little bit of Irish in their heart as we prepare for one of the most anticipated and celebrated saints day of the year in a sea of green, white and gold.

            <description><![CDATA[According to the World Health Organisation about 314 million people throughout the world are visually impaired; 45 million of them are blind, yet 80% of cases are avoidable. Glaucoma is the world’s second leading cause of blindness and “World Glaucoma Week 2011: Don’t Lose Sight of Your Family” is hoping to raise awareness of this silent eye condition. Glaucoma damages the optic nerve of your eye and usually happens when the fluid pressure in the eye rises. It often goes undetected as there are virtually no symptoms or warning signs which means you probably won't notice anything wrong until your...]]></description>
