Na današnji se dan prije točno 170 godina pojavila prva ljepljiva poštanska marka na svijetu. Vrijednosti jednog penija, na sebi je nosila profil kraljice Viktorije te je iz temelja promijenila poštanski sustav.

Nakon nekoliko godina obnove vlakovi su ponovno krenuli linijom East London, nekoć dijelu mreže podzemne željeznice a od danas dijelu Ovegrounda. U punom će pogonu linija biti krajem svibnja.

Sedam stoljeća gotovo svi su kraljevi i kraljice – s izuzetkom njih troje – svoju krunu primali sjedeći na ovoj stolici u Westminsterskoj opatiji. Više od 1,6 milijuna kuna bit će sada uloženo u njezinu obnovu.

Wishing Trees
Wondering the woods, as I am wont to do of a Sunday afternoon, I today discovered the felled remains of a wishing tree, that is, a tree with hundreds of coins embedded in its bark.
Found on woodland trails up and down the UK, the curious custom is the result of superstitious passer-bys who hammer the coins into the trunks with rocks, in the belief that it will bring them good fortune.
In many examples coins are present from centuries ago when it was believed that divine spirits lived within the trees who could be appeased by such offerings. In one wishing tree a florin dating from around the 14th century was found, whilst Queen Victoria wrote of a visit to a wishing tree in Scotland in 1877.
