95 views14th July is Bastille Day, commemorating the storming of the Bastille in 1789, an action which started the French Revolution. The Bastille symbolised the absolute and arbitrary power of Louis XVI's Ancien Régime and by capturing it, the people were signalling that the king's power was no longer absolute and, henceforth, they would have a say in how the country would be run.
The day was declared the French national day, or la fête nationale, on 6th July 1880 and, nowadays, 14th July is a mix of pomp, ceremony and fun. All sorts of events take place across the country, including a military parade along the Champs Elysées and a spectacular firework display at the Trocadéro, which thousands flock to watch from the Champs de Mar and from various vantage points across the city. As they want to impress their friends on Facebook, two pandas have taken a 'selfie' in front of the Eiffel Tower, the night sky behind them lit up with a myriad of amazing technicoloured pyrotechnics!

On Mother's Day with love91 viewsThis year, Mei Xiang, the Smithsonian National Zoo's female panda, will have a double cause for celebration on Mother's Day as Bao Bao, aged 2, will have Bei Bei, her six months old baby brother to help her spoil their Mom. I was lucky enough to be in Washington a few weeks ago and was enchanted by the antics of all four pandas. Anyone who thinks panda are boring should take a trip to DC! Mar 01, 2016

Don't Worry About a Thing87 viewsTragically, my darling brother, Iain D.A. Young BSc FFA, who designed this website for me, died on 1st November 2015. Iain lived in Jamaica for several years, as did I, which is why I thought the words of 'Three Little Birds', one of Bob Marley's best loved songs were an appropriate title for this picture where he's looking so happy and healthy. Don't worry about a thing, Iain, 'cause every little thing's gonna be all right. Nov 15, 2015
