Who can believe it: one of my favourite US singers performing in my little town! Not only that it's one of Suzanne Vega's few UK dates. Maybe stop for a pie and a pint first, in Reading landmark Sweeney and Todd's. Yes, a pie shop next to a barbers LOL. It's been there since before my teens. What's not to like?
On something of a (coin related) roll here...
To celebrate the United Kingdom Honours system, the Royal Mint have issued this beautiful £5 coin. This loneliness is notable for probably being the only UK circulating coin to carry a reproduction of the monarch's signature. Above this, a depiction of some of the medals that may be awarded for various outstanding activities and actions.
Even German owned discount store Aldi has got in on the act! Who could resist patriotic looking cans of beer?!? Well not me that's for sure LOL.
