Is she to be implicated in another road accident two weeks later? The issue is perused in county court of Wagga Waggo 'down under', and witnessed by an unusual spectator.

| Tribute to the 350 miners lost, following an underground explosion at the Hulton Colliery near Bolton Lancashire UK, on the 22nd December 1910, and the many coal miners who lose their lives down the mines in China, today. Lest we forget. | |

| African/Creole
deluge. |
|
In
the Indian Ocean, there are over a thousand tiny isles; one of them was
the island of May until nature stepped in. The island boasted a defunct
volcanic protrusion, known as the peek-a-boo by the island's African and
Creole community. It had one navigable cove skirted by towering palms
and silver-sands. Indeed it was peaceful island. History
is bent a little, to speed up the narrative, reminiscent of our lives
today. Jose is seldom mentioned. Nevertheless, he remains the link character. |

Drama. |

| Any hat whatever the status is the property of the owner. To no other is there a right unless it is traded-in or bequeathed, sold or given away it to another property owner. Nevertheless there are the exceptions. 'The Bond Street Bowler' is one exception that illustrates the journey of a Royal Bowler hat that takes off in a continental forest in 1907 and ends in the North of England UK just before the second world war, as far as the author knows. | |

| Literary Drama. |
|
| Many salt and pepper tales have been sprinkled around the bones of the third child of John and Mary Arden Shakespeare. This one, for a change is played out around the spirit of the third child of John and Mary, in a copse close to Stratford upon Avon. A friend said to me Shakespeare is all mumbo jumbo. So are neighbours if you don't get to know them. Enough said! | |

to fort Al Lhafraq in the Syrian desert there is a Dead City. It was a
thriving Pharisees metropolis many centuries ago.Sandy
heaps of decayed rubble have replaced this once prosperous place. It is
surrounded by a barrier of knife-edged granite rocks three-kilometres
wide, a legacy from the ancient dwellers. Any attempt to enter the city
by other than the secret route inevitably resulted in smashed wheels,
broken axles and broken legs of both horse and rider. Death by the abundant
sand vipers occupying the surrounding ground continues to be the reward
for the foolhardy and the impulsive. |
