The financial slump caused by the coronavirus pandemic has pushed a lot of people on the brink of homelessness, including a British embroiderer who has worked on two royal wedding gowns.
Chloe Savage, who helped create the iconic wedding dresses of Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle, has revealed that she is struggling to make both ends meet amid the pandemic. The artist, who works from her home in Warmley Village on the outskirts of Bristol, England, shared with People magazine that her financial status has gotten so bad that her teenage daughter is having to skip meals to save some money.

It was never a good idea to swear near Melby Scott - just ask members of the Naenae Bowling Club. For decades Melby was a tireless fundraiser for Wellington Free Ambulance. One of his favoured methods was a swear jar and after a particularly sweary weekend in 2011, he raised $264.70 from his mates in the Naenae club.

The event at the division headquarters in Maltfield Road, Oxford, raised £107 towards the cost of equipping an ambulance with a tail-lift for the elderly and disabled. Christmas can be very confusing, especially when it is your first, as ten-month-old Russell Green, in Picture 3, found out. To see someone in red clothing with a huge white beard was challenging enough, but then Father Christmas turned out to be a woman and she climbed into his cot! Just imagine what young Russell must have thought at a Christmas party for members of the Balliol playgroup in Oxford in 1969.
