LIECHTENSTEIN is one of the smallest and least visited countries in the world – not helped by having no airport.

Despite this, Liechtenstein has incredible scenic views of the Alps, with vineyards, beautiful villages and a castle that looks like something from a fairytale.

Liechtenstein is one of the smallest and richest countries in Europe[/caption]

Liechtenstein is known as a microstate, and it’s the sixth smallest country in Europe.

It’s only 62 square miles and is home to just 40,000 people.

Despite this, Liechtenstein is one of the richest countries in Europe and is one of the only debt-free countries in the world.

The official currency of Liechtenstein is the Swiss franc, but they do accept euros too.

Yet it’s not exactly a tourist hotspot, and in 2023, Liechtenstein only saw 85,000 visitors.

However, there are reasons to visit including the scenery, and castle which is home to royalty.

The Prince of Liechtenstein, Hans-Adam II, lives in Vaduz Castle, which is perched on a hillside 20 metres above the capital city of Vaduz.

The castle dates back to the 12th century although unlike most castles, it’s not open to the public, due to it being a private home.

It’s very near here that you’ll find The Prince of Liechtenstein Winery where they produce Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

You’ll be pleased to know that you can visit the vineyards as they have public tastings and guided tours.

The vineyards are owned by Prince Hans-Adam II of Liechtenstein and the Princely Family – which includes the Domaine Wilfersdorf in Austria and the Domaine Vaduz in Liechtenstein.

The royal family owning vineyard and winery legacy is something that dates back to 1348.

Another castle in Liechtenstein is Gutenberg which stands on a hilltop.

It was first built in the 12th century and was lived in for years before being abandoned in the 18th centure.

After being left to ruin, it underwent renovation in 1905 and visitors can now take tours inside.

You don’t just have to go on historic tours and sampling wine in Liechtenstein – for anyone wanting to get an incredible view, take the Sareis Chairlift.

This will take you 2,000 metres into the air all the way up to Sareiserjoch where lots of explorers begin their hikes.

You can walk up to the mountain peaks of Augstenberg and Naafkopf, or stop at the Sareis restaurant.

For anyone wanting to visit Liechtenstein, you’ll have to put in a bit of extra effort as it doesn’t have its own airport.

The nearest one is Zurich Airport which you can fly to from the UK in around two hours.

From there, it’s then an hour and a half drive or train journey through Switzerland into Liechtenstein.

This man visited 10 countries, including Liechtenstein, in 24 hours only using public transport.

And one Sun reporter recently discovered he was the only tourist in Europe’s least visited country.

BRITS have flocked to beaches across the nation today to bask in the glorious sunshine.

Highs of 24°C are forecast for parts of the UK on Saturday, but a change in the weather pattern will bring downpours over the weekend and into next week.

The hottest day of the year so far was on April 4 with a high of 23.7°C in Otterbourne, Hampshire.

There is a chance that areas such as East Anglia, Kent and across the Home Counties could reach it on Saturday as this area “will hang on to the heat for the longest amount of time”.

The warmest April temperature on record was 29.4°C in London in 1949.

Fire chiefs have warned against using barbecues during the warm spell because of a heightened wildfire risk due to low rainfall.

An “extreme” wildfire warning was issued in Scotland.

Firefighters remained at the scene of a wildfire on the Isle of Arran, to the north-west of Brodick, as well as one in the Cumbernauld area of North Lanarkshire which broke out on Thursday evening.

Wildfire warnings are also in place for London and Yorkshire.

Firefighters tackled a blaze on Marsden Moor in the South Pennines between West Yorkshire and Greater Manchester.

Fire and rescue services in England and Wales have responded to 380 wildfires so far this year – more than double the number for the same period in 2022, which went on to be a record year.

But heavy rain and cooler temperatures are expected to follow.

The Met Office said that with the change in weather “meteorologically, we’re moving away from the conditions that have led to the wildfires taking place over the last 10 days or so”.

Grahame Madge said: “Conditions will obviously be changing given the unsettled nature, so we’ll be transitioning to the cooler conditions and some rainfall, which will further suppress any risks of wildfire.”

This is “not in any way dreadful weather. It’s just going to be a change from what we’ve experienced”, he added.

“If you can avoid the showers, then it will still be nice.”

There is also a chance of thunderstorms over the weekend across the South West and western Wales.

During Easter week, children on school holidays may be disappointed as an area of low pressure will bring more rain, which could be heavy in parts.

The unsettled weather is expected to last at least 10 days or more, the Met Office said, longer than initially predicted.

It is looking to be rainier than last month, when historically low rainfall saw England have its sixth driest March since records began in 1836.

The Royal Life Saving Society UK (RLSS UK) has urged the public to be safe around water if taking a dip while the warm weather lasts.

Research from the charity found that when temperatures reach 21°C to 22.9°C, 2.5 times as many drownings occur each day, in comparison to cooler days.

CORONATION Street newcomer Jonathan Howard made a huge impression when he made his debut last night.

The actor is playing the never before seen but frequently mentioned Carl Webster, the younger brother of Kevin and Debbie.

And he wasted no time in making his mark by having an impromptu run in with his sister in law Abi Webster – and flirting shamelessly.

At first Abi punched him, but Carl won her over with some flirting and while he offered her an afternoon of carnal pleasure, she declined and returned home to her cancer-stricken husband Kevin.

The pair were both left shocked when later that day they met officially – but both quickly covered up and pretended it was their first meeting.

It was clear that Abi had been very tempted by Carl, and even with his brother’s cancer, Carl made no secret of his desires for Abi.

The Sun exclusively revealed that Carl and Abi are set to have a passionate affair but it’s not the first saucy storyline actor Jonathan has been in.

Having worked in Hollywood for the last decade, he’s starred in a string of shows – frequently without many clothes.

And he even shared a passionate snog with a popstar A-lister in one role.

In the drama series Kingdom, Jonathan played Nick Jonas’ love interest – and they had a snog.

He also bravely bared all in a SyFy drama Dominion in a raunchy group shower scene.

Jonathan played a soldier fighting against an army of angels in the supernatural thriller – and after one battle he hopped in the shower with his male and female colleagues.

Stripping off with co-stars Christopher Egan and Kim Engelbrecht, the scenes make Corrie look like a chaste drama.

On Carl’s antics with the ladies Jonathan, who is married to Hollywood star Elodie Yung, said: “He’s maybe a little bit selfish, especially between his trousers sometimes!”

THE Scottish Grand National is here with 23 runners all seeking the top prize at Ayr.

YOU could be spending extra on your energy bill by keeping your air fryer in the wrong place, an expert has warned.

Although spring has sprung, energy bills are still a huge worry for millions of households in Britain.

Keeping your air fryer in the wrong place could add £91 a year to your bills[/caption]

Meanwhile, this month the energy price cap rose by £111 to £1,849 a year.

Many households will be looking for ways to cut their costs, including swapping their oven for an air fryer.

The gadget has become a staple for many families as it uses less energy to cook and heat food than a traditional oven.

But the exact location of your air fryer could impact your bill.

Meanwhile, it’s important to make sure your air fryer does not become damaged as this could make it more expensive to run.

Isabella Forgione, small appliance expert at AO, said: “When you’re using your air fryer, it’s a good idea to use it on your kitchen countertops or beneath your hob’s extractor fan if possible.

“A little smoke is quite common when cooking your food so make sure you pop your extractor fan on to catch this.

“You should also avoid using your air fryer near to your sink as electrical appliances and water is never a good combo.”

This is because air fryers can reach a top temperature of 220 degrees and they emit a lot of heat.

As a result they need to be kept away from non heat-resistant materials to stop them from burning.

A 1.8 kWh air fryer costs about 49p to run per hour, according to energy comparison website USwitch.

It takes around 45 minutes to an hour to cook a whole chicken in an air fryer.

Therefore it costs up to 49p to cook the chicken.

But if your air fryer is not used correctly, it can add an extra half an hour to your cooking time.

In this case, it would cost around 74p to cook the chicken – adding an extra 25p to your costs.

Although it does not sound like a lot, an extra half hour of cooking each day adds up to £91.25 over the course of a year.

There are several factors that influence how much energy an air fryer uses.

One is how often you clean out your air fryer basket and drawer.

Think about air circulation and arrange the food so the hot air can move through it efficiently, which will speed up the cooking process.

If you do not use your air fryer efficiently then it could add even more money to your bills.

Isabella Forgione said: “To reduce your air fryer costs you can try a few things. First, ditch preheating your appliances.

“Since air fryers heat up quickly, this is unnecessary and a waste of energy.

“Make sure you’re cleaning your air fryer after each use – without doing so you may run the risk of damaging the appliances or faulty use.”

How much does an air fryer cost to run?

The cost to run your air fryer will depend on your energy tariff, how large and how efficient your appliance is.

Based on the April 2025 price cap this is how much air fryers of different sizes cost to run:

Small air fryer (1 basket)

• 0.8 kWh – 20p
• 1.3 kWh – 34p
• 1.4 kWh – 38p
• 1.6 kWh – 43p

Large air fryer (2 baskets)

• 1.8 kWh – 49p
• 2.0 kWh – 54p
• 2.5 kWh – 68p
• 2.8 kWh – 76p

As a general rule of thumb, a newer air fryer is usually more efficient and cheaper to run than an older one.

The power of an air fryer is measured in kilowatt hours (kWh).

This is used to calculate how much energy it uses and can measure the cost of using it.

The more powerful your appliance, the faster it will cook your food.

Is an air fryer cheaper to use than an oven?

A compact 2kWh air fryer costs 54p an hour to run, according to Uswitch.

If you used it for 200 hours a year then it would cost you £108 to run.

A large air fryer of 2.8kWh costs 76p an hour to run – which adds up to £152 a year.

Meanwhile, an electric oven uses up to 5kWh an hour of energy.

It would cost up to £1.35 an hour to run.

If you used it for 200 hours a year then you would spend £270.

In both cases you would save by using an air fryer.

If you use your oven often and for long periods of time then you may be able to save money with an air fryer.

The amount you save and how long it takes you to make back the cost of buying one depends on the model you choose.

A compact air fryer will set you back less than £50.

If you switch most if not all of your meals from an oven to an air fryer then you would make back the cost in six months to a year.

A compact air fryer is perfect for quick meals for one or two people.

Meanwhile, a larger model could serve between three and four people.

They can also save you time.

For example, a chicken breast takes as little as 15 minutes to cook in an air fryer, while it would take more than 30 minutes in an oven.

FOR Nicola Whitehill, life was once filled with nights out, sun-kissed holidays with friends and ambitions to make a name for herself in the legal profession.

But her hopes were turned on their head after a devastating diagnosis at the age of 24.

Nicola Whitehill

Nicola Whitehill received a devastating diagnosis aged 24 which turned her life upside down[/caption]

Nicola Whitehill

Told she was living with systemic sclerosis scleroderma, doctors gave her a bleak prognosis – she could have as little as 15 months to live.

But now, at 51, Nicola has beaten the odds and has lived with the rare autoimmune disease for more than half her life. 

Although she says its catastrophic impact means she “exists rather than lives”.

“Before my diagnosis, I’d never even heard of scleroderma,” says Nicola, from Southport, Merseyside. “It all happened so quickly. 

“I hadn’t been feeling too well for maybe a week or two, and was generally run-down.

“But I thought it was because I’d been burning the candle at both ends. 

“I was working and studying at the same time, I was out a lot and I’d just been on a girls’ holiday to Malia, and on the plane home, all my joints were completely swollen.”

After a trip to the GP, where blood tests for arthritis came back negative, she was referred for further investigations.

“I knew something was wrong,” says Nicola. “I normally had so much energy, and suddenly I was exhausted. 

“These tests confirmed I had scleroderma, and I was also diagnosed with Raynaud’s, a condition that makes the blood vessels, mainly in your fingers and toes, narrow.

“When I realised how serious scleroderma was, particularly diffuse systemic sclerosis, the type of the condition I had, I was stunned.”

Scleroderma is a rare, chronic disease of the immune system, blood vessels and connective tissue. 

It affects an estimated 19,000 people in the UK, and is four times more common in women than men.

As an autoimmune condition, the immune system becomes overactive and attacks healthy tissue within the body.

My mouth and face have totally changed. I now have a dot-to-dot puzzle on my face with a cat’s arse mouth

Nicola Whitehill

For most people, scleroderma causes problems with the skin, including itching and tightness that makes it harder to move the joints, as well as calcinosis, hard lumps under the skin.

People with the condition can also develop digital ulcers, painful sores on their fingers and toes, which must be treated swiftly to prevent infection.

With diffuse systemic sclerosis, the type of scleroderma that Nicola has, internal organs like the heart, oesophagus, kidneys, lungs and digestive system, can be affected too.

The impact of Nicola’s condition has been life-changing. 

“It feels like my body has been wrapped in barbed wire then dipped in concrete,” she says.

“My muscles and joints are just so stiff and painful.”

‘MERMAID ROUTINE’

While she qualified as a barrister in 2004, more than six years after her diagnosis, the severity of her symptoms and the side effects of continuous chemotherapy used to suppress her condition soon forced her to step back from the career she loved, aged just 31.

Now, Nicola says she’s all but housebound, only able to go outdoors with the help of a mobility scooter.

And her once-vibrant social life now revolves around medical appointments.

“Every day starts the same way,” she says. “I spend hours on what I call my ‘Mermaid routine’. 

“That’s at least three hours where I bathe in liquid paraffin and warm water to get my circulation and joints moving and covering my body in emollient.

“Even that is exhausting, and there are days where it’s all I’m able to do.

“It’s a whole rigmarole, but without it I can barely function. 

“For years I’ve said I’m like the real-life Tin Man, the character from the Wizard of Oz.

“It’s like trying to start an old car as it takes me so long to get moving.”

It’s been soul-destroying. That’s the thing with this illness, it feels almost as if it’s out to make you look ugly

Nicola Whitehill

Among the agonising symptoms Nicola endures are painful ulcers on her hands and feet. 

She can often have as many as eight fingers bandaged at one time, with gangrene – where a loss of blood supply causes body tissue to die – recurring on one finger.

“Gangrene is very painful and takes so long to heal,” she says. 

“If it doesn’t get better, you’re looking at amputation. I’ve been lucky enough to avoid that so far, but it’s still a struggle.

“My hands are in constant pain, not only with the ulcers and intermittent gangrene, but they’re curled and shrunken which means even really simple things like holding a knife and fork or brushing my hair are almost impossible, and really time-consuming.”

She was also diagnosed with Raynaud’s, which affects narrows blood vessels, and she started to lose her teeth[/caption]

Nicola Whitehill

One issue that has come as a huge blow for Nicola in recent years is the loss of most of her top teeth, something that’s not just impacted her ability to speak and eat, but her confidence.

“They started going in 2015 as my gums began to shrink,” she says. 

“It’s been soul-destroying. That’s the thing with this illness, it feels almost as if it’s out to make you look ugly.

“My mouth and face have totally changed. I now have a dot-to-dot puzzle on my face with a cat’s arse mouth.

“It’s a horrible thing to deal with and I had to wait quite some time before I could get a plate fitted. 

“It was a massive knock to my confidence, and now I wear it most of the time because it helps support the shape of my face and the structure of my jaw.”

But that’s not all. “Because my skin is so sensitive I can’t wear the things I used to love like jeans, nice tops and even nice shoes,” says Nicola. 

“I’m constantly in slippers, thick socks or Uggs because my feet are always cold due to the Raynaud’s. 

“I’ve also lost the padding on the soles of my feet and have calcinosis in my toes.”

INTERNAL TOLL

As well as symptoms which are outwardly visible, Nicola suffers muscular and skeletal pain, which means she’s lucky if she gets a single block of four hours’ sleep a night and is always fatigued.

“The disease hits you internally too,” she says.

“It’s affected my gastrointestinal system which means I have terrible acid reflux. 

“I’ve got to be so careful with my diet, and almost have to force myself to eat because if I can’t do that, the next step will involve being fitted with a gastric peg, something I really don’t want to do. 

“My experience shows just how true the expression ‘health is wealth’ really is.”

However, despite the devastating impact of her condition – one which has left her unable to have children – Nicola does her best to look on the bright side, and push for a brighter future for other people with rare diseases.

She campaigns for much-needed medical research into rare illnesses alongside organisations including Genetic Alliance UK, which advocates on behalf of the 3.5million people living with rare diseases in the UK.

“In many ways I’ve been lucky,” says Nicola, who raises awareness about her condition on social media with the hashtag #SclerodermaFreeWorld. 

“I’m still here after all these years, and not everyone makes it this far. 

“I know of people with my condition who’ve had limbs amputated, who carry oxygen tanks because of the effect it’s had on their lungs or have passed away as a result.

“I do all I can to keep myself well, even if that means it sometimes feels like I exist rather than really live.

“I’ve made great friends through my advocacy work, because while we may be small in numbers in terms of each individual illness, rare diseases affect millions of people in the UK.

“We face huge challenges because not enough is known about what we’re going through – or how to make things better.

“After years as a bit of a social butterfly, medical appointments are now about as exciting as it gets, and I have to set aside lots of time on either side of those to make sure I’m fit to go to them and can recover properly afterwards.

“Other than that, I keep myself busy with my two rescue dogs, Ted and Poppy, who I try my very best to take out every day. 

“I head out on my mobility scooter, with the two of them running alongside me down at the seafront, and it’s the best part of my day.

“There’s nothing better than feeling the wind in my hair down by the coast and chatting to people when I’m out and about.

“It makes me remember that life’s going on out there in the world – and that I’m still part of it.”
