Since some of you are looking to have a King, I would like to invite you to join Canada. You can join by state and become a new province.

You will get:

A real king - King Charles III

He lives far away in England

He comes to Canada only once every two years (mosly for a parade).

Green Highlander salmon fly I tied many years ago.

The camellia planted last year is very happy.

If you like pheasant orreally any poultry, thisis really good. Cream of mushroom soup (with extra mushroom and a dash of sherry) baked. Served with riced cauliflower.

Page from a fourteenth-century medieval manuscript containing a varied selection of Christian writings. In the middle of the page is an illumination showing a man grabbing the cowl of a monk, with his other arm prepared to strike him with a fist. The text of the page is hemmed by a variety of marginalia. From top left-hand side and clockwise: A creature with a pair of deer-like legs and a long neck that ends in a human head with a cowl; a creature with a pair of cat-like legs with multi-coloured wings on its haunches, with a long dangling neck that ends in the head of a bearded old man with what appears to be a woman's headgear; at the bottom of the page is a scene where an ape carrying a club is blowing a horn while a hunting dog is rushing towards a family of an ape mother and her two children as they are trying to climb a tree; the las creature consists of two heads on either end of a pink stalk with ivy leaves on it, one head is dog-like and the other looks like an unshaven human man.
