I left Pakistan early on the morning of the 19th, for my first flight into Europe, my first trip abroad, landing in Europe on April 19, 1987. It was an incredible April to June trip.
I promised I would return, and I did, visiting France, and Spain, at other times in the past few years.
But, I had not previously made it to Holland, even though I had passed through Schipol, Amsterdam, during my trip to Barcelona, Spain, (ironically with a Dutch born then GF).
By the grace of God, I took a flight that left USA on the evening of the 18th, when it was EXACTLY the same time in Pakistan EXACTLY 25 Years after my first international flight, to again travel to Europe on the same exact date as my first trip.
April 19, 1987. April 19, 2012. Exactly 25 years later, I am back to commemorate that awesome chapter in my life.
God is kind and has blessed me with an incredible journey, every step of the way, Please keep me in your prayers. May we all meet and celebrate such anniversaries another 25 years from now. Amen.

This is a Magic Lantern slide dating from the late 1880s showing the Coronation Chair in St. Edward the Confessor’s Chapel, Westminster Abbey. By the side of the chair are the seven-foot-long, two handed sword and the leather covered shield of King Edward III. The Coronation chair was made around 1300 to accommodate the “Stone of Scone” or the “Stone of Destiny”. The stone is a rectangular piece of red sandstone weighing 4cwt, it was the stone on which the Kings of Scotland had been crowned at Scone Palace near Perth. In 1296 King Edward I removed the stone to Westminster Abbey where it was placed under the seat of the chair. All British Monarchs beginning with King Edward II have since been crowned sitting in the Coronation Chair. The chair led a fairly uneventful “existence”, various bits fell off, were appropriated or damaged over the centuries. It doesn’t seem to be in good condition judging by the photograph. In June 1914 a militant Suffragette placed a bomb packed with nuts and bolts behind the chair, it was early evening and there were not many visitors. The bomb exploded tearing off one of the arms and damaging the back of the chair and surrounding panelling in the chapel, it was clearly meant to maim and kill. No persons were arrested except for two Danish ladies who were in the Abbey at the time of the explosion and who could not speak English, they were quickly released. At 6am on Christmas day 1950 the Westminster Abbey night watchman discovered that the “Stone of Scone” was missing from its place in the Coronation Chair. The stone had been stolen by four Scottish students with Scottish Nationalist sympathies a couple of whom had dragged the stone to the Poet’s Corner entrance and a waiting car, damaging the stone in the process. Despite a Police search and the closing of the border between England and Scotland, the first time in 400 years, there was no trace of the stone or the culprits until it was deposited at Arbroath Abbey on 11th April 1951. The stone was quickly returned to Westminster Abbey and reinstalled in the chair. The authorities discovered the identities of the four students but it was decided to take no action about what was called an act of “Vulgar Vandalism”. This is the bit where I come in, On Thursday 5th September 1974 I was on night duty and on foot patrol not far from the Abbey when a call came over the radio that the Westminster Abbey alarm had gone off, to be honest the alarm was always going off and was always a false alarm, mice or wind or whatever but on this occasion, it was the real thing. The officers first on the scene entered the Abbey and found David Carmichael-Stewart, a 24-year-old labourer who claimed to be three quarters Scottish, halfway to the exit in Poet’s Corner with the “Stone of Scone” and a homemade trolley which had collapsed under the weight of the 4cwt stone. I spent a few hours securing my part of the perimeter of the Abbey whilst it was searched for accomplices, but he was on his own. I always remember that after this the Abbey alarm still went off at regular intervals and I was always amazed that the car which usually got there first was the City of London area car, they had BMWs at the time and the Met didn’t. Carmichael-Stewart appeared at Bow Street Magistrates Court on Tuesday 22nd October and pleaded guilty to Criminal Damage for which he was given a three-year conditional discharge and ordered to pay £150.00 compensation and £75.00 costs. He also apologised to the court for his actions. In 1996 the “Stone of Scone” was returned to Scotland by John Major’s Government in response to continuing Scottish pressure for some sort of devolution which eventually came after Labour was elected in 1997. The stone is exhibited in Edinburgh Castle and will return to Westminster Abbey at the next Monarch’s Coronation. The Sword and Shield can now be seen in the brand-new Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Galleries at Westminster Abbey.

Just a little history about the people we were with when Nektarios and I met.
Virginia East (Annapolis County) - it is approximately 2 miles west of Grand Lake near the western shore of Nova Scotia. This settlement was probably named for that state in the USA where any of its early settlers - German troops - fought during the American Revolutionary War. These disbanded troops settled there soon after 1784. The population in 1956 was 60.
The Post Office at Virginia East was established - 1 March 1913 and closed - 15 October 1936 owing to the provision of rural mail delivery service via Clementsport RR No. 1.
Distance to nearest offices - Princedale 2 3/4 miles
Distributing point - Clementsvale
Mail route - Clementsvale and Virginia East
James L. Robar was the Postmaster at East Virginia from - 1 March 1913 to 15 October 1936.

BARHEE DATE
Large, round Barhee Dates were brought to California from Basra, Iraq in 1913.
When picked in their yellow stage, they are referred to as KHALAL Dates and they taste semi-sweet and are as crisp as apples.
They are usually picked and packaged on the stem in 30-pound boxes and then they are shipped by air on the same day as harvested, to assure freshness.
Barhee Dates are harvested only in August and September. When Barhee dates are picked in their brown stage, they are softer and sweeter.
======================================================
The US Date industry began in the 1890s with the first importation of named variety offshoots from North Africa and the Middle East.
From 1890 to 1929, the U.S. Department of Agriculture imported 1,076 lots of date offshoots containing about 20,000 individuals of standard date varieties.
Other introductions were made by private growers. Medjool was one of the last varieties to be introduced, in 1927. Imported offshoots were grown primarily in Arizona and California.
Commercial production commenced in 1912 with the first harvesting and marketing of Deglet Noor fruits. California emerged as the major producing state owing to more favorable climatic conditions.
At present, there are only 16 imported commercial varieties in the USA, originating from four (4) countries: Algeria, Egypt, Iraq and Morocco.
Most prominent commercial varieties in the USA are,
Barhee / Barhi,
Deglet Noor,
Halawy,
Khadrawy,
Medjool,
Thoory
and
Zahidi.
By 1955, the US had selected and reproduced 40 American varieties from the imported varieties and since that time a few more American varieties have been added.
On a small scale, nine (9) American varieties currently are grown commercially, the three (3) most important are;
Empress, derived from Thoory
Honey, derived from Thoory
Blond Beauty, derived from Deglet Noor.
Date Palm germplasm is preserved in four collections, two in California and two in Arizona; together they include nearly all of the current imported commercial varieties, but are inadequate for the American commercial varieties.
Date production in 2003 amounted to 16,662 metric ton on a total of 2,145 hectare.
Deglet Noor is the most important commercial date variety, representing about 70-75% of production;
Medjool is second with 20-25%;
All other commercial varieties account for only a few percent of total production.
From a broad base of a total of about 200 imported and American varieties, the United States date industry is now narrowly focused on 2 primary and 23 secondary commercial varieties.
======================================================
Florida's high humidity is not conducive at all in producing Dates with high flesh-to-seed ratio. As a result, the Dates are large with big seed but very little flesh.
And that is why California's arid Coachella Valley at the fringes of the Mojave Desert had become one of the best places in the world to grow superior quality Dates including the Medjool, the most well known and the most desired.
Date trees, primarily the Medjool cultivar, are being used increasingly now in Florida not as a source of edible Dates but as majestic landscape plants.
