A Royal Cadillac: Custom 75 Series Cadillac Fleetwood limousine

On that occasion, word got out, and a bunch of rowdy Newfoundlanders surrounded the aircraft at 3:20 am, and woke the Queen up by singing, “For she’s a jolly good fellow,” in the most Newfoundlandiest thing to ever happen in Newfoundland. The Queen made a short and gracious speech. One imagines the Duke recommending having them all flogged. But perhaps that’s a bit unfair. The late Prince Philip is often portrayed as a haughty, unyielding sort of fellow, quick with an unfiltered quip, but he had his human side too. The schedule set for the Royal couple in 1959 was an exhausting parade of stuffy official dinners and being paraded around endlessly, but on they went. Mustn’t complain.

Salisbury couple bid farewell to Palmers Papers newsagent s

For the past 20 years, 364 days a year, Peter and Helen Palmer have been running their newsagent’s. But after two decades selling copies of newspapers, including the Journal, it’s time for them to read a bit about themselves. The pair first bought the shop in Bulford Road, Durrington, in December 2000. Though thinking about it makes them a bit sad, April 10 will be their last day at the shop as they have officially sold the business to a local family to enjoy their retirement. “It’s been good, rewarding, we’ve enjoyed it,” said Peter, 56. “We loved serving the community, especially during the pandemic.”

Nose In Books, Feet In Socks: On Dr Seuss

71z7ROUPgQL Growing up in the misty mountain valleys of South India, I relished every moment spent with my nose in books and my feet in socks.  Nestled in the range of Nilgiri hills, in a place too small to merit a dot on the map, is a place I was lucky enough to call home when I was growing up. The rainy climes and lack of digital entertainment options meant that we read as many books as we could, and used our imagination to come up with innovative games and entertainment options. Enid Blyton lifted all of us children into clouds above The Magic Faraway Tree or whisked us away on the Wishing Chair. Tinkle comics & Champak took us for a spin (I am trying to remember some of the characters without the aid of the Internet – a cheap thrill in the current times – Kalia the crow, Chamataka the fox, Doob-Doob the crocodile, Tantri the Mantri, Suppandi, Naseeruddin Hodja, Vikram & Betaal and of course, that vague huntsman who should be the mascot for gun control laws, Shikari Shambu)
