Bertie enjoying a picnic lunch!
Look at this l'il cutie sailor taking a big bite of cake (well, I hope it is cake!) <3
'Prince Albert the nurse frankly ignored to a degree which amounted virtually to neglect. So completely did she disregard his wants and comforts that he was frequently given his afternoon bottle while driving in a C-sprung Victoria [a doorless four-wheeled open carriage], a process not dissimilar from a rough Channel crossing -- and with corresponding results. It is not surprising that the baby developed chronic stomach trouble, which may well have laid the foundation for the gastric complaint from which he was later to suffer so acutely.'
Excerpt from King George VI, His Life and Reign, by John W. Wheeler-Bennett, 1958.
After poor Bertie went hungry and felt queasy for the first couple of years of his life, seeing photos of him (and his siblings) being able to eat lots of yummy food is just so precious :)

Nothing is ever just Black or White.
Nothing is ever just Black or White.
Do you recognise this plant? I didn’t. Browsing the plant life near to the beach at Snettisham I found something unfamiliar — a large attractive flowering shrub growing in the midst of stinging nettles and thistles with quite leathery leaves. It was blowing a gale, black clouds were heaving overhead and I had no gloves to explore more closely. So I took some photos and made haste to the car…

Ancient Hoard of Roman gold Coins Discovered in UK  
A hoard of Roman gold coins hidden in the decades before the Roman invasion of Britain has been discovered.
Eleven coins have been found so far, scattered near Norwich in Iceni tribe territory. Their queen Boudica would later rebel against Roman rule.
Numismatist Adrian Marsden said the hoard is "really quite exceptional" and more coins might be unearthed.
An inquest at Norfolk Coroner's Court into the two latest finds deemed them treasure.
The first coins were found by two metal detectorists in 2017 and they have been uncovering more ever since.
Mr Marsden, from the Norfolk Historic Environment Service, said: "In the last two or three years, they've said, 'There won't be any more,' and I've said, 'There will be,' and sure enough they pull another one out.
"Hoards get dispersed by tractors and ploughs or planting, so coins get moved about fields and can travel quite some distances."
They were struck at Lugdunum, now Lyon, in France, between the last years of the 1st Century BC and the first years of the 1st Century AD - a generation before the Roman invasion in AD43.
They are hardly worn and each has a tiny peck mark by the emperor Augustus' head, which Mr Marsden believes was done by Iceni craftsmen to check their quality.
"These are really high purity gold, whereas the Iron Age gold coins circulating at that time is quite debased - they knew good Roman gold when they saw it," he said.
Mr Marsden believes an Iceni goldsmith might have intended to use them to create gold torcs, similar to the ones found at Ken Hill at Snettisham between 1948 and 1990.
He said: "To have a hoard where the coins in it are all from or before the Roman invasion - and we have good cause to believe they are going into the ground before the Roman invasion - is really quite exceptional."
The British Museum has acquired the first nine coins and is expected to acquire the latest finds.
