And finally...The DARK History of "La Peregrina" Pearl....

 

[CortezPearls]

And for today...even if Jennifer Heebner has covered this in the #ThisisPearl digital magazine for last month (February 2021) it seems there is still a trend on "Men Wearing Pearls", this time an article from Business & Arts.

Talking of men wearing pearls...

When Josh Humbert was over here we met up at Stonehenge for me to collect some Kamoka pearls.

What a great photo of you and Josh, Wendy! BTW, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WENDY!! And I'm so excited to receive your book as soon as it is released here in the US!

Cool! Stonehenge and men in pearls!

What a great photo of you and Josh, Wendy! BTW, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WENDY!! !

Back in the day when the hair was reddish...
It must have looked deeply suspect that I handed over a wad of cash in exchange for a small package. With hindsight it's a lucky escape from being arrested!

That is so funny!

 

[BWeaves]

Too funny!

 

[CortezPearls]

Happy Birthday Wendy
And the story is way too funny! And the pic is great! Stonehenge is one of those places I need to visit on my future visit to the Ilses

It's been horribly improved now. My daughter and I abandoned an attempt a couple of years ago. I can still remember when tickets were sold by a man in a little shed and you could walk around the stones.
Now it is all heritage and a deliberate tourist attraction with exhibitions and stuff. The only magical way to see it now is to drive along the A303 and there it suddenly is, nestled in the landscape and as amazing as ever

Happy (belated?) birthday, Wendy!

I'm getting old. I was at Stonehenge before there were any tickets at all. Didn't help build it, though

Could be a new 007 title: The Stonehenge Transaction.

 

[CortezPearls]

LOL! You crack me up KarinK and Marianne

I started envisioning Josh and Wendy conducting a pearl transaction whilst being observed by the "ticket master" (who will become our villain, he wants to use the power of sustainable black pearls pearls for a sacred druidic ceremony to bring back a lost civilization to conquer our world) and KarinK offering help to James Bond, since she knows the "secret tunnels" underneath. Marianne would be a Druidess, who would betray her people for the greater good of Humanity, joining with forces with the "Apearlers" (Josh, Wendy, KarinK and 007), to stop this devilish plot!

I need less coffee!

After spending two hours trying to sort an fx with our bank, can I have some of what has made you so happy, Douglas?

 

[BWeaves]

OMG, there were no tickets when I saw it either, back in 1980. Just drove up and walked around it.

 

[CortezPearls]

LOL Wendy! I just have 2 cups of coffee in the morning and green tea all day long (cups and cups!). BTW my brand new Book arrived today!

Will write a review soon...but I'm already liking it
