Did You Know?

English adventurer, writer, spy and courtier Walter Raleigh was beheaded on this day in 1618 for allegedly conspiring against King James I of England. Raleigh introduced potatoes and tobacco to the nation but twice fell foul of King James, the second time for ransacking a Spanish settlement on his voyage to find El Dorado and was topped at the Palace of Westminster.

Even such is time, that takes in trust

Our youth, our joys, our all we have,

And pays us but with age and dust.

Joke of the day:

My neighbour has a new Spanish teacher at school, his name is Mr Armada.

"Like the Spanish Armada?" I asked.

"Yeah," he said and I shook my head in disbelief.

"Well," I sighed. "At least he isn't called Mr Inquisition. Nobody would have expected that."
