The Postcard
A Nels postcard that was published by Ern. Thill of Brussels. The card was posted in Bruges on Monday the 18th. July 1960. It was sent to:
Miss D. Hunt,
39, Rochester Way,
Blackheath,
London SE3,
England.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Monday.
Have been to Bruges for
the afternoon, renewing
happy memories.
The sun is being more
than kind - no coats, hats
or umbrellas!
I shall not want to come
back I'm afraid.
I do hope you have a
holiday soon.
Love R."

Simon Heffer
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, the 18th. July 1960 marked the birth of Simon Heffer.
Simon James Heffer is an English historian, journalist, author and political commentator.
He has published several biographies and a series of books on the social history of Great Britain from the mid-nineteenth century until the end of the Great War. He was appointed professorial research fellow at the University of Buckingham in 2017.
He worked as a columnist for the Daily Mail and since 2015 has had a weekly column in The Sunday Telegraph. As a political commentator, Heffer takes a socially conservative position.
-- Simon Heffer - The Early Years
Heffer was born in Chelmsford, Essex, and was educated there at King Edward VI Grammar School before going to read English at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge.
After he had become a successful journalist and author, his old university awarded him a PhD in History for his 1998 biography of Enoch Powell.
-- Simon Heffer's Career
-- Journalism
Heffer worked for The Daily Telegraph until 1995, and as a columnist for the Daily Mail from 1995 to 2005.
He rejoined the Telegraph in October 2005 as a columnist and associate editor. Martin Newland, the Daily Telegraph's editor at the time, described the newspaper as Heffer's "natural journalistic home".
Simon records that he left the Telegraph in May 2011:
"... to pursue a role in journalism and
broadcasting and to complete a major
literary project."
It was speculated that his departure had been prompted by his constant attacks on David Cameron's government, of which the Telegraph had been generally supportive.
Heffer later rejoined the Daily Mail in order to edit a new online comment section, called RightMinds. He returned to the Daily Telegraph in June 2015, and has a weekly column in the Sunday Telegraph.
-- Historian and Author
Simon Heffer has written biographies of the historian and essayist Thomas Carlyle, the composer Ralph Vaughan Williams, and of the British politician Enoch Powell, which was described by the New Statesman as "a lucid and majestic tribute" to the politician.
In September 2010, Heffer published Strictly English: the Correct Way to Write... and Why it Matters, a guide to English grammar and usage. The book met with some negative reception.
Since 2010 Simon has published several historical works such as A Short History of Power (2010) and a series of three books on the social history of Great Britain from the mid nineteenth century until the end of the First World War: High Minds: the Victorians and the Birth of Modern Britain (2013), The Age of Decadence: Britain 1880 to 1914 and Staring at God: Britain 1914 to 1919 (2019).
-- Simon Heffer's Comments on the Hillsborough Disaster
Heffer said in 2012 that he wrote the first draft of a Spectator editorial in 2004 regarding the death of Kenneth Bigley, which said in part:
"The extreme reaction to Mr Bigley's murder is fed
by the fact that he was a Liverpudlian. Liverpool is a
handsome city with a tribal sense of community.
A combination of economic misfortune – its docks
were, fundamentally, on the wrong side of England
when Britain entered what is now the European
Union – and an excessive predilection for welfarism
have created a peculiar, and deeply unattractive,
psyche among many Liverpudlians.
They see themselves whenever possible as victims,
and resent their victim status; yet at the same time
they wallow in it. ... They cannot accept that they
might have made any contribution to their
misfortunes, but seek rather to blame someone
else for it, thereby deepening their sense of shared
tribal grievance against the rest of society.
The deaths of more than 50 Liverpool football
supporters at Hillsborough in 1989 was undeniably
a greater tragedy than the single death, however
horrible, of Mr Bigley; but that is no excuse for
Liverpool's failure to acknowledge, even to this day,
the part played in the disaster by drunken fans at
the back of the crowd who mindlessly tried to fight
their way into the ground that Saturday afternoon.
The police became a convenient scapegoat, and
The Sun newspaper a whipping-boy for daring,
albeit in a tasteless fashion, to hint at the wider
causes of the incident."
These comments (sometimes incorrectly attributed to the then-editor of the Spectator, Boris Johnson) were widely circulated following the April 2016 verdict by the Hillsborough inquest's second hearing proving unlawful killing of the 96 dead at Hillsborough.
Johnson apologised at the time of the publication, saying:
"That was a lie that unfortunately and
very, very regrettably got picked up in
a leader in the Spectator in 2004, which
I was then editing."
Kenneth John Bigley (22nd. April 1942 – 7th. October 2004) was a British civil engineer who was kidnapped by Islamic extremists in the al-Mansour district of Baghdad, Iraq, on the 16th. September 2004, along with his colleagues, U.S. citizens Jack Hensley and Eugene Armstrong.
Following the murders of Hensley and Armstrong by beheading over the course of three days, Bigley was killed in the same manner two weeks later. Videos of the killings were posted on websites and blogs.
-- Simon Heffer's Politics
Heffer was politically left-wing in his teenage years, but had abandoned his views by the time he went to university, although he states that he still has a lingering respect and affection for several past figures of the left, such as Michael Foot and Tony Benn.
Heffer is a social conservative, though in a recent interview he described himself as a Gladstonian Liberal. He supported the retention of Section 28, opposed the equalisation of the age of consent and the liberalisation of laws on abortion and divorce. He opposed the removal of hereditary peers from the House of Lords in 1999.
Heffer believes that Christianity should have a strong role in shaping both the moral foundation of society and public policy, but he is personally an atheist.
In 2008, Heffer called for the United Nations to be strengthened:
"If the UN ceases to be regarded by the larger
powers as an institution to secure the peace of
the world and justice therein, then that holds
out all sorts of potential dangers."
On the 27th. May 2009, Heffer threatened to stand as an independent against Sir Alan Haselhurst, his local Conservative MP, unless Haselhurst paid back the £12,000 he claimed for work on his garden, as revealed in the Parliamentary expenses scandal.
A month later, Haselhurst announced that he would pay the £12,000 back, while insisting it had been claimed within the rules.
In 2010, Heffer criticised the then Prime Minister, David Cameron, and modernising elements within the Conservative Party.
Heffer has written sympathetically about and backed the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) and Nigel Farage. He supported the UK's withdrawal from the EU in the Brexit referendum. From 2016 to 2019, he was part of the political advisory board of Leave Means Leave.
-- Simon Heffer's Personal Life
Simon Heffer married his wife Diana in 1987. He has two children and lives in Great Leighs, near Chelmsford. He is a director of the London Chorus (London Choral Society) and was previously director of the Elgar Foundation.
In the wee hours of August 15th, 2006, the grandstand in Polson Park caught fire. I happened to be out on my bicycle that night with the intention of doing some astrophotography. I ended up at the blaze. I shot 30 photos. I uploaded five. This one was published on the front page of the Vernon Morning Star Newspaper 2 days later.
The effects of the fire are still visible in the park, nearly a full year later.

“Vinegar” Bible
Published by John Baskett of London, 1717
The handsomely tooled leather bound King James Bible was presented to Christ Church in 1958 by Mrs. James Orr Denby and descended through her family. A record of family births, marriages and deaths from 1725 – 1838 was kept in this Bible, one couple; William G. and Elizabeth L. Cochran were married in 1825 by Bishop White. The Vinegar Bible derives its nickname from the typographical error made in the upper left page heading in the Gospel of St. Luke, chapter 20 where the word “vineyard” is mistakenly spelled as “vinegar.” Baskett’s edition contained other typographical errors; the book is commonly referred to as the “Baskett-ful of errors.” Detailed engravings add to the beauty of this Bible. It is a first edition; several later editions were issued.
This is Christ Church’s earliest King James Bible. In 1604 King James called for the issuance of a new Bible translated from the original Hebrew and Greek which would serve as a standard for the Anglican Church. Forty-seven scholars worked on this translation; the whole was published in 1611 and numerous subsequent editions were issued.
Little is known about the life of Francesco Perilla except that he was Italian, born in 1874, and that he spent several years in Athens. Around 1930 he published there books based mainly on his paintings of various places in Greece (Mystras, the Cyclades, Chios, the Peloponnese, Pelion, Mount Athos, Athens, Attica, etc.). All his works are illustrated with images in numerous techniques, photographs, sketches, pastels, etc. Thanks to the spontaneity of his amateur snapshots, the innovative aesthetics and modernist notions of beauty, Perilla’s depictions of historical monuments are consistent with the artistic trends of the time.
The present edition is illustrated with wood engravings and reproductions of watercolours. In his introduction the author dedicates the book to G. Horemis, L. Kalvocoressis and N. Paspatis. From the bibliography cited, it is evident that Perilla consulted the most important books by travellers and scholars of Greece, from the sixteenth to the twentieth century. (P. Belon, A. Thevet, N. de Nicolay, J. Thevenot, O. Dapper, J. Pitton de Tournefort, M.G.F.A. Choiseul-Gouffier, R. Chandler, F.R. de Chateaubriand, V. Hugo, P.L. Lacroix, H.F. Tozer, G. Deschamps, H. Pernot, C. Diehl and others).
Throughout the book, Perilla presents an overview of the most important historical moments of the island, as well as its legends, traditions, tragic events and natural beauties. His itinerary, as recorded in the text, took him to most of the villages and sights on Chios (Chora, Cambos, Pyrgi, Sklavia, Mesta, Amades, Anavatos, Cardamyla, Nea Moni.)
Written by Ioli Vingopoulou
Hakkında bildiğimiz tek şey doğum yılı (1874) olan İtalyan asıllı Francesco Perilla, birkaç yıllık bir süre için Atina'da yaşadı ve 1930'lu yıllarda Yunanistan'ın çeşitli yörelerini gösteren ve kendi tablolarına dayanan desenler içeren kitaplar yayınladı. Görülen yöreler Mistras, Siklad adaları, Sakız, Peloponez, Pilion, Aynaroz, Atina, Attika v.b. Yapıtlarının tümü çeşitli görsel sanat teknikleri ile yapılmıştır (fotoğraf, eskiz, pastel boya). Amatörce çektiği fotoğrafların doğallığı, yeni estetik görüşleri, güzellik karşısındaki modern kavrayışı ile, yazar, tarihi olguları çağının sanatlara karşı güttüğü çağdaş eğilimle ele alıyor.
Gravür ve renkli suluboya baskılarla bezenmiş olan bu kitabı yazar, giriş bölümünde görüldüğü gibi, Y. Horemis, L. Kalvokoresis ve N. Paspatis'e ithaf eder. Sunduğu kaynakçadan 16. y.y.'dan 20. y.y. başlarına kadar yayınlanmış olan başlıca gezi kitaplarının yazarları ve araştırmacılarından bilgi toplamış ve yararlanmış olduğunu tespit ediyoruz. Bunlar arasında P. Belon, A. Thevet, N. de Nicolay, J. Thevenot, Ol. Dapper, J. Pitton de Tournefort, M.G.F.A. Choiseul-Gouffier, R. Chandler, Fr.R. de Chateaubriand, V. Hugo, P.L. Lacroix, H.F. Tozer, G. Deschamps, H. Pernot, Ch. Diehl ve başkaları bulunuyor.
Kitap Sakız (Hios) adası tarihinin önemli noktalarını sergileyen, adadaki efsaneleri, gelenekleri, elim olayları, doğal güzellikleri anlatan, ve de Perilla'nın buradaki birçok köyü ve başka yerleri gezerken yaptığı, Hora, Kambos, Pirgi, Sklavia, Mesta, Amades, Anavatos, Kardamila, Yeni Manastır'ı içeren güzergâhı kaydeden bölümlerden oluşuyor.

Il mitico leader dei Creedence Clearwater Revival a City Sound.
La sua prima esperienza musicale degna di nota è del 1959, quando fonda The Blue Velvets, che poi diventeranno i Creedance Clearwater Revival. Così John Fogerty e soci, dall'America con furore diventano protagonisti della scena musicale e di quell'evento fenomeno o momento storico che tutti conoscono chiamato Woodstock, dove si esibirono lo stesso giorno di Santana, The Who, Janis Joplin e molti altri. Subito dopo il festival, John scrisse il successo dei CCR Who'll Stop the Rain, durante un acquazzone, ma soprattutto, dopo il festival, comincia la carriera di John Fogerty come solista.
Il resto è storia. Una storia che lo vede in giro per il mondo, nella Songwrites' Hall of Fame, al fianco di Eagles o Bruce Springsteen.

English Electric Lightning F1/P1B, XG337.
Following the successful demonstration of supersonic flight by the two P1 research aircraft WG760 and WG763, English Electric was contracted to develop the P1B fighter aircraft. It was known as the Lightning and was capable of supersonic interceptions of enemy aircraft; it remained in front line service for nearly three decades.
The first P1B Lightning flew on 4 April 1957, the day the Government published a White Paper forecasting the end of manned aircraft and their replacement with missiles. As a result, several British military aircraft projects were cancelled, but the Lightning survived.
It was designed so that its armaments, radar and radio aids were integrated into the aircraft's flight and engine systems. The equipment; long range radar to find enemy aircraft by day and night and in all weathers, radio and navigational aids for operations under the worst conditions, and a dual armament of guided missiles and 30mm Aden cannon, were all as important as the aircraft's manoeuvrability and supersonic speed.
Three P1B prototypes were ordered, they were followed almost immediately with an order for 20 fully equipped pre-production aircraft of which XG337 was the last. Each was used to develop particular facets of supersonic fighter interception. Hence the clearance of the production version for use by the RAF was quickly achieved and aircraft were able to go into immediate front line service as defence against Soviet bombers and fighters threatening the NATO alliance.

The Postcard
A postally unused Ed. d'Art Guy carte postale that was published by André Leconte of 38, Rue Ste.-Croix-de-la-Bretonnerie, Paris.
The image is a glossy real photograph, and the card, which has a divided back, was printed in France.
Tour Saint-Jacques
The Tour Saint-Jacques is a monument located in the 4th. arrondissement of Paris at the intersection of Rue de Rivoli with Rue Nicolas Flamel.
This 52-metre (171 ft) Flamboyant Gothic tower is all that remains of the former 16th.-century Church of Saint-Jacques-de-la-Boucherie ("Saint James of the Butchers"), which was demolished in 1797, during the French Revolution, leaving only the tower.
The Way of St. James
The tower's rich decoration reflects the wealth of its patrons, the wholesale butchers of the nearby Les Halles market. The masons in charge were Jean de Felin, Julien Ménart and Jean de Revier. It was built in 1509 to 1523, during the reign of King Francis I.
With a dedication to Saint James the Greater, the ancient church and its landmark tower welcomed pilgrims setting out on the road that led to Tours and headed for the Way of St. James, which led to the major pilgrimage destination of Santiago de Compostela.
A relic of the saint was preserved in the church. The tower was listed in 1998 as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO as one of the sites and structures marking the Chemins de Compostelle, the pilgrimage routes in France that led like tributaries of a great stream headed towards Santiago in the northwest of Spain.
Tour Saint-Jacques in the Nineteenth century
The church, with the exception of the tower, was demolished in 1793. Preservation of the tower was a condition of the contract by which the church was bought for the value of its building materials. In 1824 it was used as a shot tower to make small shot.
The tower was re-purchased by the City of Paris in 1836 and declared a Monument Historique in 1862. A statue of Saint Jacques was installed on the top of the tower during the 19th. century. A meteorological laboratory is also installed at the top of the tower.
During the Second Empire, the architect Théodore Ballu restored the tower, placing it on a pedestal and designing a small city park around it. This coincided with the construction of the Rue de Rivoli and the Avenue Victoria nearby, requiring huge quantities of earth to be removed to ensure the Rue de Rivoli had a smooth flat path.
The pedestal allowed the tower to retain its original elevation. Nowadays, the change in ground level can best be appreciated in Rue St.-Bon, just northeast of the tower, where a staircase leads up to the original street level at Rue de la Verrerie.
A statue of Blaise Pascal is located at the base of the tower, commemorating his experiments on atmospheric pressure, though it is debated whether they were performed here or at the church of Saint-Jacques-du-Haut-Pas.
The tower inspired Alexandre Dumas to write the play La Tour Saint-Jacques-de-la-Boucherie in 1856.
Nicolas Flamel, a patron of the church, was buried under its floor.
Modern Restoration of the Tower
The tower was surrounded by scaffolding and obscured by sheeting for some years as surveyors investigated the condition of the stone. Recent findings show that most of the stone and its ornamentation originates from the late-medieval era of the tower's construction, and was not added by the 19th.-century restorers.
Unfortunately, the survey also revealed serious cracking which needed to be addressed. The top three quarters of sheeting were taken down in March 2008, revealing a renovated upper section of the tower. From October 2008 to February 2009, the scaffolds and sheeting were completely removed, and the surrounding park's landscaping was restored. Finally, on the 18th. April 2009, the park was re-opened to the public.
