Peace talks were used to find the location of the Supreme Leader, Imam Khamenei. Negotiators had to contact him and seek advice when there was a deadlock; little did they know that the US and Israel were tracking his location during those calls.

As some of you may recall I inherited Auntie Valβs extensive autograph book
Many of the famous rock star signatures are framed on my music room wall, too countless to list.
Iβve discovered some additional Scottish related autographs

Today would be my Grandadβs 104th birthday
Born in Salisbury, he met my Gran, Rachel, during the war whilst docked at Rosyth in Giacomoβs cafe, Dunfermline
After the war he settled here & lived very happily, until his death aged 87
His jokes, laugh & stories remain with me
