Standing on a hill beside the

in Berkshire, home of England’s
kings and queens for nearly nine
hundred years. William the Con-

queror, who came to Britain ‘in
1066, was responsible for turning
Windsor from a Saxon huating-
lodge into a Norman military

deeply rooted in English nistory

Everyone Rejoics In The

Beauty Which

England, Wales, Scotland and
Northern Ireland—four countries
which together make up Britain;
four countries which are them-
selves made up of rolling green
hills, sweeping green plains,
lush green valleys and great
green forests. —

The word ‘‘green’’ is used four
times in one sentence advisedly,
for it is the greenness of Bri-
tain which first strikes the vis-
itor from. overseas—or, for that
matter, the Briton returning home
after years in foreign parts. Oh,
yes, every country has trees
and grass of one kind or ano-
ther, but none can offer Brit-
ain's infinite shades of green,
blending together as they do to
provide a picture of gentle, yet
-breathtaking, beauty. However, n
colour. scheme can be fully des-
eribed in words and it must: be
left to the visitor himself to see
and appreciate the. soft green lov-

But it would be misleading to
think that Britain is a land Na-
ture fashioned only with a gen-
tle hand. For the country has
great mountain ranges which send
their peaks towering high above
the clouds, bleak moorlands
which stretch for mile after mile
wiah little or no shelter for the
traveller, and rocky shores which

have ‘been pounded for countless.

centuries by the stormy waters
of great oceans. '
In Britain you will find Nature
in all her moods.
: First let us take a look at the
largest of Britain’s four countries
_—England. The English are a
sonservative race. They dislike
being jolted out of the quiet rou-
tine of a well-ordered life and,
like their climate, they have a
horror of extremes.

There have been really destruc-
tive upheavals in English history
and for this reason England has
preserved more of its past, more
ancient buildings, more customs,
more colour and pa , more
beauty and interest than exist
in any other country in the world.

In adlition to these advanta-
ges, England has a delightfully
varied countryside, ranging from
the lush water-meadows of the
south and the rocky shores and
plains of the west to the hills,
lakes, mountains and moors of
the north.

Everywhere you will find quaint
old villages, with their thatched
cottages and black-and-white tim-
bered houses nestling aound an-
cient churches.

Is Britain

“To the west of England is
Wales—a land of mountains and
valleys and song. The Welsh peo-
ple have never been subdued, for
they are a mountain people and
have always retained some re-
mote hideaway from which thty
could defy the enemy, whether
he was Roman or English.

In Snowdonia Wales possesses
what is perhaps the. most beau-
tiful mountain range in Britain.
The peaks do not compare in
height with those of the imal-
ayas or the European Alps, yet
they provide climbs which test
the skill of even the world’s most
experienced mountaineers. The
British expedition which conquer-
ed Mount Everest in 1953 did, in
fact, train in Snowdonia.

For the non-climber, Wales of-
fers an endless range of beauti-

‘ful’ walks, a picturesque coast-

line with many excellent, resorts
and a friendly people who wel-
come visitors with a natural
warmth, ©

Taling about friendly people
and warm welcomes, no visitors
has ever met with anything else
in Northern Ireland. Northern
Treland—or Ulster, as it is most
times called—is a land of smiles.
Even the landscape seems io be
smiling, for nowhere else is the
air so clear, the mountains so
blue or the grass so green.

Here is a country to be re-
tumed to again and again, for
there is too. much to see in one
short visit. After all, what other
land of the same size can offer

‘the visitor the lovely Glens of

Antrim, the striking Mountains
of Mourne (which ‘‘sweep down to
the sea’) and the fantastic
Giant's Causeway? Even the
country’s capital, Belfast, a great
seaport and centre of many in-
dustries, has grren fields run-
ning up to its very doorstep and
is overlooked by a range of lov-
ely blue hills.

And now we turn to Scotland.
This is a land of history and ro-
mance, of magnificent scenery
and skies to match, of mountains
and rocks and heather, of swift-
flowing rivers and lovely lochs.
The roads through even its wild-
est and most remote places are
excellent, making it an ideal
country in which to tour. The
deeply indented west coast, with
its many islands presents some
of the most beautiful and roman-
tie scenery in the le wide
world.

Lowlands stands Edinburgh, cap-

ELLEN’S DIARY —

A Summer Day Memories—

Would You Share Them?

What in the way of weather,
from a farmer’s point of view
would come from the heavy fog
which at our rising this. morning
denied us any view of valley or
hill?

“We can’t see even to the mill-
pond!” we said at a south win-
dow. Then remembered that
“only in dreams now’ do we be-
where all down the years Jiames
was wont to, read on its bosom
any changes of weather ahead.

Now drained and still strange
to us, Nature has carpeted the
area with her grasses, out to the
course which not widely chan-
nels the millstream’s flow. The
cows go-down to graze there
where once in the’ pent waters,
trouts broke water in intriguing
ripples as they reached for tid-
bits of flies in the lazy summer
afternoons and on into the after-
light’s shadows.

The fog was as close as the
gateway, restricting our viibility
to the yards about. Beyond, out
somewhere in a grayness we
feared for them, machines of
Morning. moved, their passing
echoes coming in to us over the
veiled hills.

“This should clear’ James ‘of-
fgered at a shoulder.” Though I
reckon not in time to make it
much of a haying day.”

Yet how smartly it lifted, dis-
solved in the sunshine to give us
to see dewy roses on the old
trellis at breakfast, and again
the green of the farmilands.

The morning took then the
younger farmer off, new mow-
ing-knife sharpened to mow—
could: we believe it! the-nexit-to-
the last hayland of this farm, And
as va day spent itself in sun-

shine and light breeze, all once
more turned to the saving.

And how pleasant this summer
day was, giving us lovely mem-
ories to keep. Would you see
some with us? The dancing pop-
lar leaves at the gateway, so
pretty in their restless elifin mea-
sures; the afternoon sun lazy
on the fields, a smoley blue
shimmering haze over all; the
satin sheen of the tanned should-
ers of the lads. of workers who
shed sweat-shirts in the genial
warmth and busy-ness; the rak-
ing-Jiames with the team; the
fragrant windrows being caught
up by the loader in magic turns

ed cloth, young colorful beets
now and onions ‘to grace the
roast... .and Summer everywhere
about.

Visitors of summer came—they
who come again and again from
the States to the Island finding
in her scenes,’’ the next thing to
“The Ireland they love.

“And whiat keeps you out there
so late, Ellen?” James question-
ed coming into the vacant kit-
chen”’ when twilight put an end to
his day.

“Come and see!’’ we invited
from the front verandah,

“Oh, the new moon!’ he said
seating himself on a chair chose
by. She climbed above the mill
in the valley, smiling, down
through the moon-misty dusk on
that exquisite silence below
which betokened our world going
to its rest.

“Looks good for the haying to-
morrow” Jiames oillfered.

Until tomorrow — — —Diary
Good-night.

.. meals spread on a red-check- |-

ital of Scotland and one of the
most beautiful of European cit-
ies. Edinburgh has been describ-
ed many times as “the Athons
of the north’—a title which it
truly deserves.

Britain’s countryside has four
cloaks: those of spring, summer,
autumn and winter. In spring-
time Britain is thought by many
to be at its loveliest. Everywhere
the trees are bursting into life,
daffodils and primroses appear
in every nook. and cranny, the
fields seem greener than ever
and all around is birdsong.

Spring changes to summer and
summer brings the roses and
lazy days on the niver or just
lying around on sandy beaches.

The lovely old cottages seem to
fall asleep in the sunshine while
cricket is played—as it should
be played—on the village green.
As the summer ripens into au-
tumn the British countryside puts
on its cloak of gold and russet
brown, The leaves fall gently
from the trees, the bells ring
out from the churches and the
people give Thanksgiving for an-
other safely-gathered harvest.
And so to winter. The trees are
bare of leaves and frost tints their
branches and gives them a fairy-
like appearance. But Britain’s
greenery never quite disappears
and the lanes and fields are lined
by evengreens which, even in the
darkest days of winter, give pro-
mise of the spring to come.

Princess Margaret Has
An Appreciation Of Music

DOROTHY LAIRD

This Scottish author and jour-
nalist has written six books on
the Royal Family, among them
three volumes of ‘‘The Golden
Book of Prince Charles and Prin-
cess Anne’.

Dorothy Laird writes as fol-
lows: Princess Margaret would
be the ‘last person to claim to
be “highbrow” and the first to
Jaugh at any grandiose claims
that she is a ‘leader of artistic
trends’. ;

But the fact remains that her
lively and discriminating .ntelli-
gence, her appreciation of the
arts, whether in the worlds of
pallet or couture, do give a lead
to. other young people. ‘

Her own artistic gifts are
known only. to. her gircie of
friends. “‘A very gifted and na-
tural musician’ is the descrip-
tion given to me by, one who has
known her for many years. It is
known that she plays the piano
extremely well, that she. sings
with real enjoyment and she is
gaid to have a very pretty gift
of mimicry.

Enjoys Work of Individualists:
Her appreciation of music, in-
cluding the works of Bach and
Mozart—she has many long-play-
ing records of their works ia her
collection—is keen. When she was
photographed at the piano by
Cecil Beaton she said: ‘‘What’s
it to be—Bach or Nellie Lutcher?”’
and played Debussy.

In today’s music, she eajoys

such brilliant individualists as’

Danny Baye and Victor Borge.
Among those in whom the Prin-
cess has shown. interest are
“Satchmo” Armstrong, the great
trumpeter and Count Basie, the
jazz musiician, (she heard his con-
cert twice in the same’ evening).

Princess Margaret, having the
triple advantages of a quick ear,
retentive memory and friends
who know what she would like,
is generally away ahead of the
public in her knowledge and en-
joyment of new musical num-
bers, especially from the other
side of the Atlantic.

Her appreciation. of timing and
control of movement’ in limited
space shows itself in very dif-
ferent settings.

It is not perhaps irrelevant
recall that Bisil Spence the
architect of the rebuliding of Cov-
entry Cathedral in a new and
strikingly modern style, told me
how impressed he had been by
her instant appreciation of the
requirements of a cathedral in
terms of space for ritual move-
ment in religious ceremonies—
something which he said he had
found in few others to whom he
had shown his great project.

Preference For Ballet: At the
military ceremony of Trooping
the Colour, the Princess is ob-
viously engrossed in the meticu-
lous progression of the complica-
ted parade, every detail of which
is as familiar to her as it is to
her sister Queen Elizabeth II.

In the tribal dances which the
Princess saw in Africa and in
the calypsos of the West Indies,
the Princess obviously - derived
enormous pleasure from the mass
use of movement and colour. It
is not ‘surprising to learn that
she “is not addicted to concerts
or to opera” preferring the more
imaginative flow of movement of
the ballet and theatre.

Princess Margaret has a na-
tural desire to see the world’s
greatest artists. As the guest of
Dame Margot Fonteyn, she saw
the great Russian, Ulanova,
dance ‘‘Romeo and Juliet’? at
Covent Garden where she has
seen many ballets. As president
of the Sadler’s Wells Foundation
she has seen at a gala perfor-
mance Margot Fonteyn dance,

‘ty wevues. Several little known

“Swan Lake’’. :

Frequent Theatre Visitor: The
theatre is possibly the art of all
others in which she is most keen-
ly interested. She is the “play
taster” of the Royal Family and
if she enjoys a visit to the thea-
tre it is often closely foilowed
by a visit from the Queen or
other members of the Royal
Family.

Princess Margaret often goes

all the outstanding productions
staged while she is in London.
Her tastes are. young and iresh.
She is particularly fond of swift
moving musical plays and of wit-

but talented young people have
been greatly thelped by her pa-
tronage of their shows. Artists
enjoy Princess Margaret's praise
which, though generous, is also

When she goes to the theatre
she likes to sit in the stalls
without fuss and—if possible —
without publicity.

Some four years ago Princess
Mangaret assisted some of her
friends in the production of a
play ‘The Frog” by Edgar Wal-
lace, which was put on im aid of
the Invalid Children’s Aid Soc-
iety for which it made a consid-
erable sum of money. Princess
Margaret worked hard, showed
joyed herself, but has never re-
peated the experience as he. pre-
real-aptitude and obviously en-
sence attracted so much public-
ity. Nevertheless, her interest in
“behind the scenes’, whether in
the theatre, in the film or tele-
vision studio, or in the couturier’s
workroom, is obviously very real.

A very pleasant ‘quality of
Princess Margaret is that she \al-
ways wants other people to. en-
joy themselves as much as she
does—which is one reason why
she is such a favorite with her
nephew and niece, Prince Char-
les and Princess Anne. She once
remarked to Norman Wisdom,
the comedian, that she was look-
ing forward to taking them to
their first pantomime and indeed
when the Royal children first vis-
ited a real theatre—to see a
charity performance by Mme:
Vacani’s pupils—it was Princess
Margaret who took them.

Another form of art must. not
be forgotten—the art of dress.
Princess Margaret has a rare
understanding of line, trend and
basic fashion which has much in-
fluenced the dress sense of her
generation.

So far Princess Mangaret has
preferred to laugh rather than
to weep in her enjoyment of the
arts—and that is not so usual a
tendency in the young as might
be imagined. It is often left to
the middle aged and elderly’ to
appreciate how scarce is the gen-
ius for laughter.

What is important is that Prin-
cess Margaret wholeheartedly en-
joys the song, the play or the
dress which appeals to her-—-en-
joys it and appreciates to the full
