Sorry if these were posted already. I just like these pics a lot. I haven't seen Prince Charles riding a horse in a long time. He looks very good. It looks like he was going at a nice gallop for awhile.
The caption says he went riding at Sandringham on 29 December.

2007 will go down in the history books as one of the most difficult that agriculture in this country has ever faced.
It is true that, at last, milk prices are climbing and certainly many arable farmers have had a good year, but floods followed by foot-and-mouth, then the arrival of bluetongue and huge rises in feed prices have presented many farmers with unprecedented challenges.

Should the NHS provide complementary therapy?

On May 23, Prince Charles addressed the World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva. Officials at Clarence House said the Prince was gratified that the WHO had invited him to promote the cause of complementary therapies, a subject close to his heart for more than two decades.

Where was Camilla? Or had she decided to spend Boxing Day onwards with her own family & 3-month old Lola? No wonder Prince Charles was so grumpy with the press - no wife or sons to keep him company. He should h ave stuck to his usual Boxing Day to New Years practice of the last 10 years i.e. spent it with Camilla.

I Thought this was only one of the signs up for consideration, but the Sun probably knows better!

^ Tetbury does seem like the kind of place that is touchy about things. I'm sure they will sort out the mess, though. In the end, Tetbury's council people must remember how much The Prince has done for the area since he bought Highgrove near three decades ago. I am sure they were already a fine area without him, but it can't be denied that he has brought so much more prestige and cachet, and the reputation of Highgrove has put the area on the world stage as far as organic gardening and produce are concerned. Say Highgrove to someone who really knows about organic agriculture and gardening, and it's a safe bet they know exactly what you are talking about.

articles about "King Charles III or King George VII" which I am not very willing to share them because the articles are hopeless.

Thank you iceflower and milla Ca.
I don't eat meat and when I smelt and then saw a Mutton dish being served up a short time ago, I was sooo glad that I am a vegetarian! But to each his own!

But there is a definite difference between mutton and lamb - while I love lamb, I turned vegetarian, too, for that course when I was offered a mutton dish in Scotland as part of a dinner. But I really enjoy a good haggis (this is a classical starter dish at the dinners on media trips organised for journalists to get a "glimpse of Scotland" or visits to Malt destilleries). I'm close to know the "Ode to a haggis" by heart by now.

The worst thing that I had in Scotland was the lamb kidneys one morning at Culloden House Hotel which close to Inverness, because they had not been watered, so featured a certain "haut gout"... Brrr.... But the rest of the food there was lovely.

That's interesting as we have such initiatives here in Bavaria as well. In one case about 30 gastronomers have formed a group which employs a shepheard to walk with his sheep the hills in a natural preservation area. In autumn, some sheep are butchered and the meat goes to the restaurants as part of their local speciality programme. I could sample several dishes and really, the taste of the meat was better than most lamb I had had before. So for gourmets meat like this surely is interesting and the prices the producers need will be payed if the quality is good.
