It was about this time that I fell desperately in love with my class teacher who played the guitar and sang Don McLean's Vincent. He left after his first year to pursue a career as a musician. I was heartbroken and started to write songs.My first “big” break came when I was 10. Our class teacher, an Irish lady called Ronnie Sullivan, helped me and a couple of classmates, Robin Cook (he was big on Elvis and played a mean guitar) and Alistair Cook (no relation, and more of a classical guitarist) to form a Peter, Paul and Mary style trio called The New Forest Rovers, which quickly became the star act of the school Friday afternoon performance assembly. This being well before the days when “appropriate behaviour” was expected of school teachers, Ronnie got us a slot at a pub where the local Irish band The Little People played on a Sunday night. We played a repertoire of murder ballads and folk songs. It was here that I discovered that crisps and coke (at this stage the brown fizzy type) were freely available to performing artists.call my Religious Education.

A peek into a Blyton larder

A cluster of marigolds peeks from a teapot sitting pretty on a red-and-white checked tablecloth. Outside, a weathered picket fence flanks the soft sands by a sparkling ocean. Children with a cane basket head to picnic in the cove below. And, all of a sudden, sitting by a seaside café in Galle, I’m reminded of a childhood ghost — Smuggler Ben — and how one Blytonian summer I joined him to sail the Cornwall coast in his leaky boat, feasting on lettuce and ham sandwiches.

News that noted filmmaker Sam Mendes’ company is bringing to the big screen  The Faraway Tree  series puts the spotlight back on British children’s writer Enid Blyton. As much as she ruled the imagination of generations with pixies and fairies, adventures and mysteries and boarding school tales, Blyton had to make way for books that depicted the depressing reality of our times — from war and abuse to alien invasions -READ MORE -http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-metroplus/a-peek-into-a-blyton-larder/article8055651.ece

Dorset cliff-fall sees fossil hunters race to find remains of ancient creatures

Fossil hunters race to a Dorset beach after a Christmas cliff-fall revealed the remains of hundreds of ancient creatures

Dozens of fossil hunters have raced to a Dorset beach after a cliff fall over Christmas revealed the remains of hundreds of ancient creatures.

Parts of the Jurassic cliffs in the village of Charmouth washed into the sea last week, paving the way for bones, which are millions of years old, to come to the surface.

And as word has spread about the discovery of the remains, fossil hunters have turned up in the West Dorset village to try and find their own souvenirs.

They have been scouring the shoreline hoping to find old remains washed up by the sea.

However, most of the fossils are just a few centimetres long, although some found have measured a couple of feet in size.

Tony Gill, who runs Charmout Fossil Shop, told the Western Morning News: ‘I looked across the beach and realised it looked -READ MORE -http://www.westfieldtimes.com/uk/dorset-cliff-fall-sees-fossil-hunters-race-to-seek-out-stays-of-historic-creatures/57436/

Opposition to hunting i

Opposition to hunting is espoused by people or groups who object to the practice of hunting, often seeking anti-hunting legislation and sometimes taking on acts of civil disobedience, such as hunt sabotage. Anti-hunting laws, such as the English Hunting Act 2004, are generally distinguishable fromconservation legislation like the American Marine Mammal Protection Act by whether they seek to reduce or prevent hunting for perceived cruelty-related reasons or to regulate hunting for conservation, although the boundaries of distinction are sometimes blurred in specific laws, for example whenendangered animals are hunted.

The term anti-hunting is used to describe opponents of hunting; while it does not appear to be pejorative, it is widely used as such by pro-hunting people. Supporters of hunting contend that opposition is based on emotional reactions to the individual kill which may be eaten by the hunters, and that opponents ignore that modern hunting activities are regulated by scientifically guided legislation resulting thus in improved and increased habitat and growth in the number of individuals of each species that is legally hunted.

Geographic differences[edit]

It is difficult to compare strength of anti-hunting sentiment in different countries, for example because the word hunting carries different meanings in the UK and United States. Nonetheless, it is more possible to compare the strength of the anti-hunting movement in different countries, with some having stronger organization, such as in the UK, and some being nearly without it, such as New Zealand. However, as can be seen in the results table, opinions can vary widely on different surveys even within the same country, and as in all market research, consideration must be given to the wording of the questions, which can influence results.^{[1]READ MORE ON  WIKI LINK-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opposition_to_hunting}
