John Henry Anderson was born in The Mearns, Aberdeenshire on 14th July  1814.

Anderson’s father was a tenant farmer at Craigmyle. His parents died when he was ten years old and he became an apprentice blacksmith.

He met with a group of touring players when he was 17 years old and joined them with ambitions to become an actor. Whilst with them he saw magical tricks being performed in the street and soon took an interest in magic and set about establishing his own type of magic which he first performed in Aberdeen. He was the first magician to perform tricks and magic in any theatre in the British Isles.

the first nickname of John Henry Anderson which was The Great Caledonian Conjuror. However this was soon changed in 1840 to The Great Wizard of the North. He claimed that the title was given to him by the original Wizard of the North, Sir Walter Scott. John Henry Anderson is also sometimes referred to as the Wonderful Wizard of the North and as Professor Anderson, the Wizard of the North.

John Henry Anderson performed his magic acts in theatres, showgrounds, fairgrounds throughout the world, including America, Canada, Germany, Sweden, Australia and Russia. He gave a command performance to Russian Czar Nicholas. He later moved to London and opened the News Strand Theatre.

John Henry Anderson is credited as the first magician to pull a white rabbit from a black top hat.  His other tricks included,  The Inexhaustible Bottle Trick where a bottle would produce any drink asked for by a member of the audience and  The Gun Trick where he appeared to catch a bullet fired from a musket, which was always kept as the finale of his act in order that ‘ladies might withdraw, to avoid witnessing it

John Henry Anderson married Hannah Longherst from Aberdeen in 1842. She was an assistant with his shows. A year later they had a son who they named John Henry Junior. He became an illusionist. They would later have two daughters who also  became magicians.

Anderson had a mistress called Miss Prentice. In 1845 they had a child called Philip Prentice Anderson. Sadly his mistress died during the birth and Anderson supported the child. He took another mistress who was a member of his touring troupe, she gave birth to another son.

In 1845 John Henry Anderson had built the large Glasgow City Theatre. Sadly it was burnt down five months later. In 1849 he was summoned by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert to perform at Balmoral Castle, though some sources state this to have been at their London residence.

John Henry Anderson died on 3 February 1874 in Darlington. He is buried in the St Nicolas Kirkyard in Aberdeen, next to his mother.

John Henry Anderson was considered to be the greatest magician in Scotland, often compared to Harry Houdini. As seen in pic 3, Houdini himself  visited Anderson’s grave in 1914. The site was badly neglected and Houdini undertook its restoration and upkeep.

Albert House c.1886. The only house in this row of identical terrace houses that boasts a name. The street trees out the front are Punk Trees or Broad Leaf Paperbarks (Melaleuca quinquenervia), which are seen all over the Inner West, and some, like these, grow to be very old. Darlington.

The winter air was sharp and clear, crisp with a touch of frost that painted the garden in a delicate shimmer. Florence pulled her coat a bit closer around her shoulders, glancing toward Albert, who sat beside her on the old stone bench that overlooked their snow-dusted landscape. He had insisted, almost pleaded, for her to remain indoors, worried about the chill lingering in her frail state. But Florence, with her subtle gentle stubbornness, had persuaded him otherwise; she knew that once she shared her news, he’d likely forbid her from stepping outside until she was either fully recovered from this illness or until their child was born—whichever came first.

Albert was recounting the details of his newest project with animated pride, his gaze shining as he spoke of the goods being prepared for the Duke von Baden. Florence listened, nodding and smiling at all the right places, but today, it was only half genuine. Her heart beat anxiously beneath her composure, and she felt herself sinking into a sea of uncertainties with each breath she took. She was often reminded of the early days of their courtship, the way Albert had once pursued her, words soft and full of warmth, trailing her through that summer garden with a gentleman’s grace. And though he remained a devoted husband, years of marriage had placed a quiet distance between them. She, too, was absorbed with the rhythm of managing the household and their children, while he poured himself into his art to provide for them, each absorbed in their responsibilities, growing in parallel yet at times apart.

As she stole a sideways glance at him, her thoughts spiraled: What if he didn’t receive this well? What if this child, whom she already felt a rush of love for, was welcomed with less excitement than their others? What if they didn’t have enough for the renovation? What if… Her worrying train of thought faltered, interrupted by the gentle, concerned voice beside her.

“My love?” Albert asked, eyes soft and searching her face. “Are you feeling unwell? I knew we should have stayed inside.”

Florence shook her head, managing a small smile. “No, no, dear, it’s not that,” she reassured him softly. Her hand sought his, fingers tightening around his familiar warmth. She took a deep breath, steadying herself. “I… I have something to tell you.”

Albert leaned closer, his entire attention fixed on her. She closed her eyes briefly, savoring the moment, then exhaled the words she had held close to her heart. “Albert, I’m expecting our fifth child.”

His eyes widened, filling with the kind of joy she hadn’t seen in them for what felt like years. Before she could finish her sentence, he was beaming, his hands enveloping hers as he showered her with a flurry of delighted kisses, tender yet filled with energy and care. Her heart melted as she laughed, mirroring his happiness, the relief so overwhelming it brought a rush of tears to her eyes.

“Are you certain this is good news?” she asked.

“I can hardly imagine anything better than this, my love!” He took her hands in his, giving her such a genuine look of joy that it left her breathless. She blinked, trying to still her happy tears, feeling lighter than she had in days.

“But, and the house?” she murmured, worry creeping into her voice again. “We’re running out of space. The girls… they’re growing up so fast. And Daisy will soon join them, leaving little room left for Rowan…”

Albert’s gaze softened, and he reached up to brush a stray tear from her cheek. “We’ll find a way. We always do.” He smiled, warm and reassuring. “Florence, my dear, I never want to be a source of worry for you. I know this won’t be easy, and it’s time we think about proper help for the household. But that’s something I’ll take care of.”

Florence shook her head, placing a hand over his. “Not alone, Albert. It’s a concern for both of us.”

He nodded, and they sat in the quiet of the garden, the pale winter sun casting a gentle light over them. “I love you,” he whispered, the warmth of his words a promise that seemed to chase away the cold around them.

“And I love you,” she replied, her voice barely above a breath.

[zachariiahs]

“Mhm, she’s in France for the week, spending time with her equally idiotic father. Shame his wine tastes so good.” He commented casually. It was currently the school holidays, meaning they had a week or two off. Zach was grateful for this, it meant he didn’t have to worry about the full moon and it’s problems during school time. That was always a struggle. But she made a fair point; Zachariah was popular for his partying ways and antics with girls, but he was no bully. Francesca was popular for being unpopular; everyone feared her. But her last words made him quirk a brow, glancing over at the girl. Whatever did that mean? “Oh yeah? Fancy taking her head bitch crown or something, Darlington?” Zachariah knew the clothing brand the moment she mentioned the name for the simple reason that he had pulled said clothing brand off the bodies of many girls many times. But he withheld that comment on the basis that she seemed proud of her mother’s accomplishments, and rightly so. “Maybe… I dunno.” Those were the expectations of people from this sort of lifestyle. To attend the greatest and oldest university in the world and expect nothing less. “I don’t really know… what I want to do.” Join his father’s business, take over one day, that was the expectation Robert had for his son should he learn to behave himself. But is that what Zach really wanted? He was still figuring that out.

His eyes glanced upwards towards his hair as she observed the change, a rather soft smile appearing on his lips. “I think that’s the first nice thing you’ve said to me since we’ve met.” He joked, pulling at one of the slightly damp curls. “It’s always been this way.” Chaotic just like he was. But soon the conversation turned a little more serious and Adelaide had once again noticed things that were nothing but true. Zach went quiet for a moment, pulling at his t-shirt for a moment. “Uhm… I know. It’s rather… bare. W-we have photos, just… in albums” he explained. In his room he had photos of himself with his mother, his grandpa, Albert and his other close friends. Conveniently, they walked past a small office. This made him come to a stand still, “This, here, I study here. It used to be my mum’s. Those are all her books.” Inside was a simple desk, chair and laptop for Zach to do his school work, but what laid behind were shelves with books upon books. Some sketchbooks too. “Here.” Beckoning her inside, he picked up one of the sketchbooks and flicked it open, “She liked to draw.” The drawings were beautiful, delicate and detailed. The room itself felt different to the house. It had warmth to it.

Westminster School was, to put it simply, above all. A fine establishment full of teenagers who would one day become very, very important people for this country. Inside each classroom stood the children of politicians and diplomats, billionaire businessman, royalty and peerage, a sort of society most could only dream of being part of. And how ideal it all seemed, a school that was raising seemingly perfect children who would one day become dutiful, moral and hardworking adults, no?… No. This was the playground for those whose pockets laid thick with cash and hedonism was their favourite past time. Where the daughters of grammy winning rockstars partied with the sons of Bank owners, snorted drugs laced in their school lanyards, and every meal seemed accompanied with 300 year old wine. But no, no! Westminster school was where you sent your child if you wanted them to have 4 A* A-Levels and a direct route to the University of Oxford. At least… that’s what the prospectus said.

An excellent example of one of their model students was Zachariah Carrington-Smythe. Top of all his classes, captain of the school’s first rugby team, son of Richard Carrington, owner of HNC Industries, and as such, the future heir. Sounded fantastic, didn’t he?… Absolutely not. He was, to put it simply, the worst. A seemingly innocent face hid a true heathen of a teenager; he spent his time indulging in the world of alcohol and drugs, partying and most importantly, women: ninety-nine to be exact. Some one after the other, some at the same time, but every girl at this school knew just how much of a heartbreaker Zachariah was. And yet, every single time, they fell for it.

Ironically, for such a snobby and rich boy, his best friend was Albert Rodriguez — a scholarship student from practically the opposite ends of life. Al and Zachariah had been best friends since aged twelve, having gotten up to all sorts over the years, even though Al had a gentler heart. Where one went, the other followed. Sat in the Upper Sixth’s common room, the pair we’re going over something from their Chemistry class; how innocent, for once. Yet their conversations were anything but.

“Any luck in finding your next one?” Albert asked quietly, to which Zachariah shook his head, flicking the pages of his coursework with the tip of his finger, “… No… it appears the rise in feminism or whatever is ruining my little reputation. How boring.” He snickered, finding the page he needed. As they spoke, the main door opened, two female students walking inside, and Zach glanced over for a moment, but had to double take; the girl on the left… he had never seen her before. And she was beautiful. His face perked up a little, placing his calculator aside, Al noticing the look on his best friend’s face. Leaning back, Zach pressed two fingers against his friends chest to catch his attention.

“… I believe I stand corrected, Bertie. There she is: lucky one hundred.”

Destination Dining: 10 of the most private places to eat in the world

With the gradual re-opening of restaurants, many of which are operating at limited capacity or only offering take-away services, eating-out as we knew it might have changed forever. Private dining spaces are becoming increasingly sought after, to enjoy the culinary delights of dishes you haven’t had to cook at home, whilst keeping at a distance from other diners. These special spots take private dining to new levels of luxury, from on-board brunching to sandbar snacking, here are some of the most exclusive eating experiences in the world.

Toes-in-the-sand dining…

Petit St. Vincent, Saint Vincent & the Grenadines – Caribbean

Exclusivity is in ample supply at our private island resorts, where you’ll feel a world away from everything and everyone else. The privately owned island of Petit St. Vincent in the Grenadines allows guests to dine anywhere on the 115-acre paradise of palapas dotted along private beaches, and secluded cottages scattered over hillsides, cliffs and coast – simply use the Robinson Crusoe-style flagpole communication system to order anything, from a fresh fruit platter to Caribbean jerk chicken, straight to your hammock.

Huvafen Fushi Maldives, North Malé Atoll – Maldives

Meanwhile in the Maldives, Huvafen Fushi offers diners the best of both worlds (above and below sea level) with a selection of unique private dining experiences – including a sandbank lunch of sushi, Maldivian tuna, and tropical fruit, an in-villa grill prepared by your own private chef, native reef fish wrapped in banana leaf with Indian spices served aboard a traditional Dhoni boat, a star-lit dinner only a toes’ dip away from an infinity pool, and an underwater breakfast in the submerged spa. If this wasn’t enough to choose from, sip on the island’s collection of rare vintages eight metres below the surface, in the Maldives’ first underground wine cellar.

Cape Fahn, Koh Samui – Thailand

Serving up the best Thai specialities, the private island of Cape Fahn just off the Northern tip of Koh Samui satisfies your every desire. Made up of 22 one and two-bedroom villas, each with their own large plunge pool and private sun deck, there is more than enough space to enjoy an in-villa meal, or a lantern-lit dinner on the beach.

Milaidhoo Island, Baa Atoll – Maldives

With three tempting restaurants to choose from, including on-deck dining at the signature Batheli Restaurant set off the shore in three Dhoni boats on stilts over the lagoon, you’ll be spoilt for choice at Milaidhoo Island. From just-caught seafood delivered straight to your over-water villa, to a private picnic beneath a billowing canopy especially set up on a sandbank, every moment on Milaidhoo Island is one to savour.

Dessert in the desert…

Dar Ahlam, Ouarzazate – Morocco

On the fringes of the Moroccan desert, shaded by the palms, lies Dar Ahlam. A traditional Kasbah set in a haven of manicured lawns and fragrant almond blossom, it is easy to understand the Arabic meaning behind the hotel’s name, ‘House of Dreams’. With no menu or dedicated restaurant space, meals are crafted from local ingredients sourced from the souk or grown in the hotel’s garden, while guests are invited to dine in the dozens of private spaces dotted in and around the hotel at any time they wish. Sample the spectacular ‘1,001 Night’ dinner, take in the greenery at an alfresco lunch in the garden, or venture outside the hotel on camelback or an Arabian stallion with a picnic to the Sidi Fla volcanic basalt gorges, or beneath a private tent on the shores of the Ouarzazate lake.

An off-piste picnic…

Kristiania Lech, Arlberg – Austria

An exquisitely decorated Alpine retreat with the feel of a private residence rather than a hotel, Kristiania Lech is just a short walk from the centre of the upmarket ski resort of Lech. With a host of special services including a ski valet, bath butler, reading butler and a leisure time consultant, Kristiania takes service to another level. Go off-piste with a picnic in the snow on the mountainside, draped in blankets and warmed by a hot cocoa or an après-ski Austrian Schnapps paired with Crêpes Suzette.

On-board banquets…

Cap Rocat, Mallorca – Spain

An adults-only 19th-century fortress turned boutique hotel, Cap Rocat stretches along the coastline for two kilometres, overlooking the Bay of Palma. For a taste of the Mediterranean, step aboard the hotel’s yacht which takes guests on day trips along the southern side and western coast of Mallorca, sailing through the Illes Malgrats, a protected marine reserve. Sample the island’s freshly-caught seafood and sip on the finest Cava as you watch the sunset from the private boat’s deck.

D-Resort Šibenik – Croatia

In keeping with its glamorous marina setting, D-Resort Šibenik offers guests a selection of nautical experiences on board the hotel’s own boat, available for day trips and exclusive hire. Spend the day discovering the Kornati Archipelago, known as the natural pearl of the Adriatic, with a chance to stopover at Prvić Island and spot sea turtles and dolphins in the National Park. For a truly special way to end the day, enjoy a glass of sparkling wine on a sunset cruise and see Šibenik from an entirely different perspective.

Country house hampers…

Cromlix, Stirling – Scotland

In a lovely setting surrounded by 34 acres of woodland and gardens in the rolling hills of the Perthshire countryside, Cromlix is home to a Chez Roux restaurant run by the famed Albert Roux OBE. Spend time wandering the grounds before settling down beside the loch, for a lakeside picnic of freshly prepared seasonal ingredients washed down with a bottle of the chef’s own label champagne.

Rockliffe Hall, Darlington – UK

A magnificent 18th-century country house close to the North York Moors, the service at Rockliffe Hall is more reminiscent of a private club than a hotel. Explore the hotel’s Lewis Caroll inspired outdoor area, known as Mischmasch, and its curious cabins, adventure and nature trails, before choosing a secluded spot in the hotel grounds for an outdoor afternoon tea party.

Fresh Entry

Okay okay okay, so I had a blog post ready to publish, I just was finishing it and then guess what happened? If you said, I lost it all. Ding Ding Ding you are correct and get 15 fictitious points. Right, I’m just going to do away with that blog post and start again. I haven’t posted in a while, due to being very busy with travel, shows and not feeling very well. So the last couple of weeks that I talked about in the entry that I have just lost. Most of that will be done away with. I will talk about the last few days, as I didn’t get chance to touch on any of that, in the other entry. As you have probably realised, if you have read my previous blogs, or just follow me generally on my various modes of social media. My weekdays when I’m not wrestling (sometimes I’ll be wrestling all week) aren’t the most exciting. A lot of it contains gym work, training, the odd cinema trip and catching up with friends. (sometimes the television show, as it’s now been added to Netflix even though I own the entire boxset on both DVD & VHS & my actual real life friends) The 2 weeks prior to the one just gone, as you may remember I had an extremely busy schedule. I’m not going to go into a huge amount of detail (As I had all ready done, and have now lost all that) but I travelled all around the United Kingdom. Going to Glasgow, Dublin, Cork, London, Scarborough, Darlington, Liverpool, Sheffield etc etc. Some of the highlights, in no particular order. Myself & Wolfgang had a match in Liverpool for TNT where I am their current Champion, where the crowd after watching 7 matches before ours, I thought may not be as invested in our match. Mainly due to the fact I had been advertised in two different matches prior to it settling on me and Wolfie, so I thought it may have taken the Heat out of the contest. However the TNT audience certainly proved me wrong, as they were awesome through out the match, providing the match with a big fight atmosphere. Crazy to think this is the first time I’ve wrestled Wolfgang outside of a WWE ring. Look forward to future matches with Wolfgang. It was good being involved in both Hustle Wrestling & Paradox Debut shows, that were both very successful and enjoyable to be on. Look forward to future shows with both promotions. Continued having fun side by side with El Ligero, where we are still holding the Southside Tag Team Championships as a duo named the “Joseph Conners Experience With Ligs”. We also have our first T-Shirt which is close to being sold out, which you can find at www.josephconners.bigcartel.com :) On that weekend I also faced off in a first time singles match against Big Grizz. Someone who that same fortnight, I’d seen have a great match with Wolfgang at ICW. Very much enjoyed having a scrap with Grizz and was probably my favourite match of the weekend, in terms of my own performance, even fighting through my illness. Grizz is clearly going to continue to be a staple of any Heavyweight division around the UK and is one to keep your eyes on. It was also a pleasure catching up with Hardcore Holly over that weekend. A man who has been an instrumental mentor since meeting him around 4 years ago. I’ve faced off against him numerous times, and learnt why he is known as one of the toughest men whoever laced up a pare of boots. However this time, I got to watch him hand out the ass kickings to our opponents as I got to tag alongside him. As I say Bob Holly, is someone I’m happy to call a friend & a mentor, and appreciate his support, kind words & help since meeting him. Always great to see him advertised on UK shows to catch up. Well looking back at those paragraphs I did a decent job of recovering some of the stuff I lost in the entry I lost. So moving onto the weekend just gone. I was at BWR’s biggest show to date on Friday, where they sold out the ‘Memorial Hall’ in Cleethorpes with a star studded line up, built on British talent. I currently hold their Championship and was scheduled to face off against current WWE UK Champion Pete Dunne, for the second time this year. I think me and Pete had an exciting worthy main Event, with back and forth physical action through out. It only frustrates me that there was no winner that evening, as T-Bone decided to interrupt and cause the match to be thrown out, for what reason I don’t know. Though I look forward to beating it out of him, in the near future. Hats off to BWR and their team for another successful event, keep your eyes out for them. as they continue to push forward and deliver great shows to their audience. On the Saturday, I would travel to Bolton. Thanks to Ryan, who drove the team of myself Gabriel Kidd & Brady Phillips. We had the opportunity to wrestle at the beautiful Bolton Albert Halls.  I’d face off with Brady Phillips which I believe is only the third time we have met. If anyone has seen my twitter posts regarding Phillips, you will know that I (along with others) view him as a future star. He’s physical, athletic, looks great, and is just waiting to crack through the next glass ceiling. Not a cash of “If” with him, truly is a case of “when” This match, was mainly built on feel and reading the audience, which is one of my favourite things to do. Was really enjoyable event and match, and look forward to wrestling Phillips more and more in the future. Was a fun show to be around good friends and have a laugh and a nice way to cap off the wrestling weekend. This week, I am back in the ring tonight, to work on my wrestling cardio, which is something I haven’t been able to do recently, due to feeling under the weather and being away. I am looking forward to it, and not at the same time, but like any workout will be happy for doing it after it’s done. I’ve also made a decision and hired a nutritionist, who I spoke to face to face for the first time today. That’s something I’m excited about, and to see where that takes me. So constantly trying to make decisions that will positively effect me, moving forward. This weekend, along side shows in the UK, I travel to France to wrestle which is going to be a lot of fun. So I have plenty going on this weekend, and will have plenty to talk about in my next entry. Anyhow, until next time...  Thanks for reading guys.

If You Have a Leaking Tap Adelaide Contact Adelaide 24 Hour Plumbing

If you have Leaking Tap, you’re probably here reading this post. This is not a great problem to have. It is a better problem than having your house on fire or something, but still, not great.Leaking Tap Adelaide, a problem?

This is a BIG problem if you have a Leaking Tap. This leads to other problems as well. If you have this problem, you might have water leaking into the foundation which is very expensive to fix.

Does Leaking Tap Adelaide affect anyone other than you?

Well, yeah. If you live in an apartment, then it affects your neighbours and other people that reside in the same building as you. A leaking Tap can affect your house value and cause you problems with your lawn. If you have one, it can even affect your back yard. There’s more to it than that though.

Leaking Tap Adelaide Yard or Garden problems?

You probably do have these problems if you are reading this. A leaking tap can be a huge problem and cause yards and gardens to be flooded with water. Yards with huge amounts of water in them can be caused by a Leaking Tap. It will then be a mud hole and all the grass will be gone. You will have to plant new grass once all the water drains out, which could take a long time!

Leaking Tap Adelaide Health risks?

Sure there are. If the problem is really bad, like you left the faucet leaking and the whole backyard is flooded, you have a health risk. Many insects, especially flies and mosquitoes like to breed in a damp environment. This includes standing water. Standing water is a danger no matter how you look at it. Standing water breeds insects, like it was just mentioned, and you may sink into mud.

World War 2 Bombing in London Largest Loss of Life for the Fire Brigade

This is the account of the Bombing of the Old Palace School in St. Leonard’s Street, Bow during WW2 and the sad loss of 32 Firemen and 2 Fire Women who were tragically killed during this raid.This is still today, the largest loss of Fire Brigade personnel, at one incident, in the History of the service.

Tragically for me, one of those that lost their life that night was my Great Aunt, Winifred Alexandra Peters (nee Wootton).

Prior to this bombing raid on the early hours of 20th April 1941, London was in the middle of its biggest bombing campaign of the entire war from the German Luftwaffe, known as the Blitz. For eight months, from 7th September 1940 to May 11th 1941 London suffered almost continual nightly bombing, over a period of almost 37 weeks, the British capital was attacked 71 times.

During the war many schools were left empty due to children being evacuated to the country. The Old Palace LCC School in St. Leonards Street, Poplar, was one of these, and was commandeered during the war, for use as a Sub Fire Station, for firefighters of the Auxiliary Fire Service. On the night of Sunday April 20th 1941, Fire Service crews were standing by in anticipation of a heavy raid on the Capital. At precisely 1.53am, a land mine, dropped from a Luftwaffe bomber and landed directly on the school. The land mine landed on the roof of the school and dropped down a stairwell and into the watch room where two women were killed outright. The men waiting outside were caught by the blast, which also demolished two thirds of the school building, and they were buried by falling masonry. Rescue services, already hard-pressed, arrived too late for any lives to be saved.

Thirty-two firemen and two firewomen died at The Old Palace School, the largest number of Fire Brigade lives lost in a single incident, in peacetime or war.

Those that sadly lost their lives are as follows:

This story remained unpublished because of emergency Defense Regulations.

The full details were finally uncovered six decades later by the Firemen Remembered charity which unveiled a memorial in April, 1997, at Lansbury Lawrence Primary School, on the site of the old school destroyed 56 years before.

“In memory of the 13 London firemen and women and 21 Beckenham firemen killed on the night of 19th April 1941 when a bomb destroyed the old school being used as a sub-fire station.”

Two weeks after my Great Aunt sadly lost her life here, my own mother was born and she was named after her Aunt, Winifred Alexandra Wootton.

Time passed—slowly but steadily. Primrose Jane Darlington, named after Albert’s late mother, became a lively and mischievous figure, a constant source of joy and chaos in the Darlington household. She was deeply attached to both Georgina and her father, her playful nature always keeping them on their toes. Violet Grace, on the other hand—named in honor of Florence’s late mother—was more reserved and gentle, clinging to her mother with a quiet affection. In Violet’s eyes, Florence saw a reflection of her own mother’s tenderness, a reminder of the gentleness that had once guided her through childhood.

Florence’s health, though fragile at first, improved with each passing day. Despite the warnings to rest, she refused to distance herself from the upbringing of her daughters, especially Violet. There was a bond between them that went beyond simple motherly affection—Florence found solace in nurturing her daughter, as if in caring for Violet, she was also tending to the memory of her own mother, and herself.

Meanwhile, Albert’s art began to bring in steady financial returns. His name, once buried in the shadows of anonymity, was slowly gaining recognition, and the household debt was halfway cleared. The weight that had once hung so heavily over their lives was beginning to lift. The Darlingtons, who had faced so many hardships in the past months, now found themselves on a path of recovery and hope.

The household, once filled with tension and uncertainty, began to breathe easier. For the first time in what felt like an eternity, the family experienced the warmth of security. It was not yet complete, nor perfect, but it was enough—a welcome reprieve after the trials they had endured. The promise of better days, reinforced by the growing stability of Albert’s career and Florence’s improving health, brought much-needed light into their lives.

The Impact of Coronavirus on Ghanaian Clubs

[caption id="attachment_769049" align="alignnone" width="1080"] Hearts versus Kotoko match[/caption] The coronavirus pandemic has plunged a lot of Ghanaian clubs into financial crisis due to the suspension of football activities in the country. The lack of football means these clubs are unable to make money from the gate proceeds that they usually rely on for the running of the operations. The 2019/20 Ghana Premier League season was suspended in March due to the outbreak of the deadly disease in the country. So for, Ghana has recorded over 2,000 cases of Covid-19, with 18 death and 229 recoveries as of May 2, 2020. Like many sectors of the economy worldwide, the pandemic has affected jobs and livelihoods, With Ghanaian clubs not spared from the economic hardships. This has led to clubs lobbying the Ghana Football Association and the government to come to the aid of the clubs. Some club administrators are already demanding a share of GFA’s stimulus package yet to come from FIFA whilst there has been a petition to government to consider bailing out football clubs through the Covid-19 relief fund. The GFA is set to receive $500,000 from FIFA as a relief package due to the coronavirus pandemic which according to the FA Spokesperson, Henry Asante Twum, the monies will be used for operational purposes. "The Ghana Football Association is yet to receive the $500,000 from FIFA. The money will be used to cover operational costs at the Football Association and I can state categorically that the money FIFA is bringing is not for clubs, he told Accra-based radio station Asempa FM. "But if the Association in it's power decides to use some the money to support clubs then fine but ordinarily, the money is meant for the Football Association," he added. Some football administrators and club owners have opened up on the adverse effects of the Covid-19. Fred Pappoe- Accra Great Olympics “The Covid-19 has affected all sectors of the economy and not only football. In our social life it has even destabilized us. The truth is that it will be difficult to pay salaries in full”.   Albert Commey- Techiman Eleven Wonders We are not considering pay cuts at Eleven Wonders and we are doing everything possible to pay salaries of players. Our traditional ways of making monies has halted that is our gate proceeds and even some sponsors are writing to clubs to suspend their sponsorships. If the Covid-19 pandemic drags on it will really affect clubs   Nana Kwasi Darlington- Bechem United The GFA president Kurt Okraku and his Executive Council must demonstrate to we the clubs that they really think about us by extending financial support in this difficult times. I will advise them to use part of the FIFA stimulus package to support clubs in the country.   Charles Kwadwo Ntim- Techiman Eleven Wonders Where the clubs are lying now is at the emergency ward. The GFA must find money for the clubs. If they are expecting money from FIFA to be given to the clubs then they should give out what they will receive first from FIFA or loan some money from government from the Covid-19 stimulus fund. The future of the 2019/20 football season will be announced this week after the GFA’s consultation with the various stakeholders.   By Herbert Boakye Yiadom/ follow on twitter @herbertgh source: https://ghanasoccernet.com/
