The eye-catching motor is now on the market at a dramatically reduced price and described on the car sale website as having ‘stood the test of time’, according to The Mirror . Katie has been banned from driving in the past .

A visit to Andy Griffith’s “Mayberry,” a town that never was
This report was originally broadcast September 19, 2021. That tall, amiable sheriff and his little boy, Opie, heading to a fishing hole on the outskirts of Mayberry, North Carolina, at the start of "The Andy Griffith Show," were actually strolling along a lake in Beverly Hills, California. Ron Howard, the actor who played Opie, is now one of Hollywood's top directors. Most of the other stars – Andy Griffith; Don Knotts, who played his deputy, Barney Fife; and the actors who played Aunt Bee and Floyd the Barber – they've all passed on. After all, it's been 54 years since Andy left the show. So, it may come as something of a surprise to learn that Mayberry is doing just fine, even though its actual name is Mount Airy, and its only genuine link to "The Andy Griffith Show" is that Griffith was born and grew up here. "Andy Griffith, God bless him, if he had not been born in this particular little town, we wouldn't be standing here having that conversation," said Randy Collins, … [Read more...] about A visit to Andy Griffith’s “Mayberry,” a town that never was

The Cambridge children’s new school – ‘respectable yet not one of the posh ones’
It’s off to prep school for Prince George this September but happily without a tuck box, teddy bear and tearful goodbye. If whispers are to be believed, the third in line to the throne, who turned nine this July, will become a day pupil at Lambrook School in Berkshire, along with his sister, Princess Charlotte, seven, and brother, Prince Louis, four. The school, in a white stucco house surrounded by parkland, is just a short drive from Adelaide Cottage, the Cambridges’ new residence near Windsor Castle – and according to current parents, offers a modern, cosy and nurturing take on the quintessential prep school experience. “There’s no comparing it to the hot house our daughter attended in London – there’s acres of space and no pushiness,” says one. “The lessons are fun and there’s a tight, all-inclusive community. I defy any child not to love it.” The Cambridge children, however, might not be feeling quite so enthusiastic about the move. Thomas’s Battersea , where the older … [Read more...] about The Cambridge children’s new school – ‘respectable yet not one of the posh ones’
