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

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.

ELLEN’S DIARY

A Summer Day Memories; Would You Share Them?

What in the way of weather, loom a flarmer’ls point of view would come loom the heavy fog which at our rising this morning deniedusanyviewotvallcyor hill?

“We can’t see even to the mill- poud!" we said at a. south win- dow. Then remembered that “only in dreams now” do we be- where all down the years James 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- nelsthe millstream’s flow. The cows go-down to grace there where once in the‘pent waters, trouts broke water in intriguing ripples as“ they reached tor tid- bits of flies in the lazy summer alternoons and on into the after- light’s shadows.

The tag was as close as the gateway, restricting our viibility to the yards about. Beyond, out somewhere in a grayness we feared tor them, machines of Morningmoved, 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 tossedewyrosesontheold trellis at breaklast, and again the green of the larmlands.

The morning took then the younger tarmer all, new mow- ing-«knife sharpened to mow—— could we believe it! the-nextto- the last hayland of this farm. And as t? 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 elfiu mea- sures; the alternoon sun lazy on the fields, a smoley blue Shimmering haZe over all; the satin sheen of the tanned should- ers of the lads cl workers who shed sweat-shirts in the genial warmth and busy-near; the rak- ing-James with the team: the fragrant windrows being caught up by the loader in magic turns

“And what 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 mean!” he said seating himself on a 'chair close 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.

idence. Thus the castle is more deeply rooted in English history then any other building in the country. And it proudly looks its royalpart: huge, dignified, per-

ltal of Scotland and one of the most beautiful of European cit— ies. Edinburgh has been describ ed many times as “the Athous of the norflh”—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, daifodils and primroses appear in every nook» and cranny, the fields seem mener than ever and all around is birdnsong.

Spring changes to summer and summer brings the roses and lazy days on the river 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 an- tumn the British countryside puts on its cloak of gold and russet brown. The leaves tall gently from the trees, the bells ring out from the churches and the people give Thanksgiving for an- other saiely-gathered harvest. And so to Winter. The trees are bane of leaves and trust 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 evergreens which, even in the darkest days of winter, give pro- of the spring to come.

Princess Margaret Has .An Appreciation Of Music

DOROTHY LAJERD

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

Dorothy writes as fol- lows: Princess Margaret Would he the last person to claim to be “highbrow” and the first to laugh at any grandiose claims that she is a “leader of artistic trends”. ,

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

Her own artistic gifts are known only to her circle ol friends. “A very gifted and na- tural musician" is the descrip4 tion given to me by one who has known her tor many years. It is known that she plays the piano extremely well, that she\ sings with real enjoyment and she _is said to have a very pretty grit ct 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 in her collection—is keen. When she was photographed at the piano by Cecil Beaten She said: “What’s it to be-Bach or Nellie Lutcher?" and played Debussy.

In today’s music, she enjoys

such brilliant individualists as

Danny Mayo and Victor Borge. Among those in whom the Prin- cess has shown interest are “Satchmo” Armstrong, the great trumpeter and Count Basie, the jazz musician, (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 irom the other, side of the Atlantic.
