OK, one day late but I don’t think that’s going to bother too many people. One item which I remember being big news took place in 1973: London Stock Exchange Admits Women

So this week’s prompts are:

Daffodils

Royalty

The last prompt was, er, prompted, by this news item. I was intrigued at the description of the public ( Read more... )

It’s been a bit of a strange week, but I really will start doing these myself soon...

On March 17th 2001, the Eden Project opened. Other news, not so positive, so we'll leave that as our sole historical prompt.
