Does anyone know of a good treatment or cure for car sickness which is suffered not only by my daughter (10), but now also my dog! Long journeys are, at present, out of the question. Jill - Saffron Waldon

For your daughter I would recommend that you sit her in the front seat with as much fresh air as you can bear, and not to let her read or play computer games etc. The motion-sickness wrist bands worked well for my son. KL - Derby |

Try getting her to listen to a CD of a good book on which she will have to concentrate, or you can even buy special anti-sickness CDs. JT - Salisbury
Our dog stopped being sick when we travelled him in a crate with an old sheet over it so he couldn't see out. BB - Aylesbury
Your vet should be able to prescribe something but there are also many herbal remedies available - your local pet shop should help or try on-line SP - Lincoln

My husband and I want to take a 'ranch' holiday in the USA next year, but we want to try western riding first before we commit. Has anyone got first-hand experience of a western-riding instructor here in the UK? Annie - Gloucs |

We are visiting the Cotswolds in the Fall from USA. Please can you recommend the MUST SEE places as we only have two days to see as much as possible. Martine - Michigan |

If you want to see a 'quintessentially' English village you must visit the Slaughters - that is Lower Slaughter and Upper Slaughter. Not as grizzly as the name implies, these two tiny villages should be on any day trippers list. There is a small shop at Lower Slaughter (which was once The Mill), which sells lovely little gifts, ice creams etc and always has brilliant music playing in the background! To be honest, there's not much at Upper Slaughter but you can walk quite easily from one to another across some fields on a fairly easy (ie level) path. Take your camera and don't forget to visit the Church too. Debbie - Chatham, Kent |

My three 'must sees' would be: Tetbury (see Prince Charles' new shop), Bourton on the Water, Stow on the Wold. If you're driving, which I presume you are, why not just see what you come across when you turn off a main road and meander through the villages/hamlets - they are, in the main, all delightful, many of them boasting a Church, village green and pub - even if there are only a handful of houses!
