Hadlow Tower, Hadlow, Kent, United Kingdom,

Also known as ‘May’s Folly’, it formed part of Hadlow Castle, an extravagant country house built for Walter May from 1785.

The 52m high octagonal tower was added in 1838 by the architect George Ledwell Taylor and extended a further 12m with a lantern in 1840.

Restauration: Thomas Ford & Partners for The VIVAT Trust

The Tower at Hadlow Castle near Tonbridge, Kent was badly damaged by The Great Storm of 1987, and very nearly collapsed into ruins.

After Tonbridge & Malling Borough Council intervened in 2011, the Tower was restored to it's former glory, with funding from English Heritage and the National Lottery. Work was completed in 2013.

Hadlow Tower now has exhibition space on the ground floor, and the upper floors are rented out as holiday accommodation.

Here is the moment that Marcus Simon Sarjeant fired six blank shots at The Queen during the Trooping The Colour Parade in 1981.

Her Majesty was unharmed and remained calm, as did her horse Burmese.

The man was quickly brought to the ground by a Scots Guard... assisted by a member of the public. At that moment nobody knew that he was not firing live ammunition... The guardsman should have run him through with his sword!

29th July 1966 - On the night before the 1966 World Cup Final, Alf Ramsey, the England manager, took his entire squad to the Odeon cinema in Hendon, to see, Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines.

29th July 1987 - British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher and President of France, François Mitterrand, signed an agreement to build the Channel Tunnel.

I do not often make political comment, BUT... although I believe the Channel Tunnel was one of Thatcher's greatest achievements... I can not stop myself thinking that this happened very soon after most of the UK's coalmines were closed down and infilled with concrete to stop them from re-opening. So there was an abundance of cheap labour available for the Chunnel project!

Cockington Forge, Torquay over the centuries.

The building on the left was constructed in the 14th century. Despite its age it is remarkably durable, having survived the test of time with only a few brick and cement fillings to bolster it up.

The Ouija Board named itself. According to its inventors, “Ouija” was the game’s response to the question of what it wanted to be called. They also claim that when they asked it what Ouija means, it ‘replied’: “Good luck.”

The new UK Police Memorial at The National Memorial Arboretum will be dedicated at midday on 28th July 2021, in a ceremony attended by His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales.

Since the creation of the Bow Street Runners, the world’s first recognised public police force in 1749, nearly 5,000 men and women have given their lives while serving and protecting communities in the UK.

The UK Police Memorial honours the courage and sacrifice made by these people in the line of duty. There is also a digital memorial where you can read about each of the individuals who are remembered.

Our Police forces are coming under increasing scrutiny for their actions... understandably so, in some cases. But too many make the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.

If only the crops were growing as high as this in the UK and Europe right now! After the January storms, in southern England there has been little rainfall since. In fact, some places have not had ANY rainfall for over six weeks!

My farm in Dorset has fared better than many. The early grain crops did well. Although the yield was not excellent... the quality was good. The late sown crops are struggling. GM Farmer Frank has taken the decision to harvest some of the late crops this week... as no significant rainfall is forecast in the next ten days. This is likely to be our worst harvest ever!
