Each word must use the letter in the centre of the wheel. 6 Read: For the young who want to by Marge Piercy Talent is what they say you have after the novel is published and favorably reviewed. Beforehand what you have is a tedious delusion, a hobby like knitting. Work is what you have done after the play is produced and the audience claps. Before that friends keep asking when you are planning to go out and get a job. Genius is what they know you had after the third volume of remarkable poems. Earlier they accuse you of withdrawing, ask why you don’t have a baby, call you a bum. The reason people want M.F.A.’s, take workshops with fancy names when all you can really learn is a few techniques, typing instructions and some- body else’s mannerisms is that every artist lacks a license to hang on the wall like your optician, your vet proving you may be a clumsy sadist whose fillings fall into the stew but you’re certified a dentist. The real writer is one who really writes. Talent is an invention like phlogiston after the fact of fire. Work is its own cure. You have to like it better than being loved. 7 Caption competition Come up with a caption for the following image, the funnier the better! 8 Create a picture 9 Colour 10 Name the famous dogs 11 Quiz Answers Finish the saying Charity begins at _____home__________ The course of love never did run ____smooth_________ Cut your nose off to spite your ___face_______ Why have a dog and bark ______yourself?_________ Questions What is the capital city of Argentina?

The greatest event in the memory of this generation, the most stupendous change COWES,in existing conditions that could possibly* be imagined, took place quietly, almost gently, upon the eve of the anniversary of the death of the Queen's father, the Duke of The end of this career, never equaled by any woman 'in the world's history, came in a simply furnished room in Osborne House. This most respected of women, living or dead, lay in a great four-posted bed and made a shrunken atom whose aged face and figure were a cruel mockery of the fair girl who in1837 began to rule over England. Around her were gathered almost every descendant of her line. Well within view of her dying eyes there hung a portrait of the Prince Consort. It was he who designed the room and every part of the castle. In scarcely audible words the white-haired Bishop, of Winchester prayed beside her as he had often prayed with his sovereign, for he was her, chaplain at Windsor. With bowed heads the imperious ruler of the German empire and the man who is now King of Eng- land, the woman who has succeeded to the title of Queen, the Princes and Princesses and those of less than royal designation, listened to the Bishop's prayer.

  • Her Majesty the Queen at 2.40Am on 21St April 1926, a Princess Was Born at 17 Bruton Road in Mayfair, London
    Her Majesty The Queen At 2.40am on 21st April 1926, a princess was born at 17 Bruton Road in Mayfair, London. She was the first child of her proud parents, the Duke and Duchess of York. Shortly afterwards, the baby princess was christened Elizabeth Alexandra Mary in the private chapel at Buckingham Palace. At that time, few people thought that the baby Elizabeth would become Queen. Nobody would have guessed that she would in fact become the longest reigning monarch in British history. But that is exactly what she has done! Marriage In 1947, Princess Elizabeth married Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten in ceremony at Westminster Abbey. The wedding was simple in comparison to modern royal weddings, as the UK was still recovering from the war. In 1948, the couple had their first child, Prince Charles. Two years later, they had a daughter, Princess Anne. Becoming Queen Elizabeth’s father, the Duke of York, became King George VI in 1936, but his reign didn’t last long. In 1952, after a period of ill health, he died at the young age of 57. Princess Elizabeth received the news of her father’s death whilst on royal duties in Kenya. As she was next in line to the throne, the princess had become a Queen. On 2nd June 1953, Elizabeth was officially crowned as Queen at Westminster Abbey. Despite heavy rain, tens of thousands of people turned out to catch a glimpse of the new queen, and they were celebrations across The Commonwealth. A growing family With Elizabeth becoming Queen, the members of her family also received new titles.

  • Read Extracts from Victoria's Diaries
    I HISTORIC ROYAL SPEECHES AND WRITINGS VICTORIA (r. 1837-1901) Queen Victoria maintained a detailed diary, her famous Journal, which is contained in 111 large manuscript volumes. These volumes constitute about a third of the original, as her diaries were edited after her death by her youngest daughter Princess Beatrice, at Queen Victoria's request. The extracts below cover some of the more momentous events of Queen Victoria's reign, from her accession in 1832 to her Diamond Jubilee in 1897. On William IV's death, and her accession aged 18 years: Tuesday, 20 June 1837 at Kensington Palace I was awoke at 6 o'clock by Mamma, who told me that the Archbishop of Canterbury and Lord Conyngham were here, and wished to see me. I got out of bed and went into my sitting-room (only in my dressing-gown), and alone, and saw them. Lord Conyngham (the Lord Chamberlain) then acquainted me that my poor Uncle, the King, was no more, and had expired at 12 minutes past 2 this morning, and consequently that I am Queen. Lord Conyngham knelt down and kissed my hand, at the same time delivering to me the official announcement of the poor King's demise. The Archbishop then told me that the Queen was desirous that he should come and tell me the details of the last moments of my poor, good Uncle; he said that he had directed his mind to religion, and had died in a perfectly happy, quiet state of mind, and was quite prepared for his death.

  • New Kind of Royals: on Third Anniversary, Harry and Meghan Embrace Revolutionized Royal Roles
    5/19/2021 Harry, Meghan Markle celebrate 3rd anniversary as 'celebrity' royals CELEBRITIES New kind of royals: On third anniversary, Harry and Meghan embrace revolutionized royal roles Maria Puente USA TODAY Published 6:00 a.m. ET May 19, 2021 Updated 4:44 p.m. ET May 19, 2021 Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan of Sussex celebrate their third wedding anniversary Wednesday as royals in the process of reinventing themselves, devising new hybrid roles no other senior British royals have ever inhabited. Can they achieve all they desire? "I personally feel Harry and Meghan are going to be just fine; what we don't know is the ramifications for the British royal family," says Nicoletta Gullace, associate professor of history at the University of New Hampshire, who specializes in modern British history. Still, it's a question no one could have imagined asking on May 19, 2018, when Harry married the former Meghan Markle in a joyful ceremony at Windsor Castle that blended American grace with British pageantry. On Wednesday, to mark their anniversary, the couple announced that their Archewell Foundation and one of their charity partners, World Central Kitchen, would build a new community relief center in Mumbai, India, https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2021/05/19/prince-harry-meghan-markle-celebrate-third-anniversary-as-celebrity-royals/5091425001/ 1/6 5/19/2021 Harry, Meghan Markle celebrate 3rd anniversary as 'celebrity' royals now dealing with a devastating second wave of COVID-19. "During future crises, these centers can be quickly activated as emergency response kitchens – or vaccination sites – and through calmer times they can serve as food distribution hubs, schools, clinics or community gathering spaces for families," according to a statement on the Archewell website.
