Gun Laws in The United Kingdom
It would not even occur to me to have a gun or to think that my neighbours would do ether.
I THINK there were 25 gun deaths in the whole of the UK in 2015 .

Gun Laws in The United Kingdom
I can see a perfectly good reason for someone in the wilds of Montana or Dakota, etc having access to a rifle, for there are some creatures that can endanger life there, such as wolves; and I can see a case for those who hunt for food to have ...

Thanks for the reminder of the British view of guns. Although I've lived in the US for more than half of my life, I still don't understand the compulsion Americans have for owning guns.

Art Contest with Collectible Coins
There are older ones that come to about $300, but the newer ones are not quite so high. I would look to the source, the Alaska Mint. Still, they are high. Mintage in any given year varies, and is set by demand. Only once, I believe, has the ...

I think it's a wonderful initiative. I see the coins are rather expensive (close to $100). How many coins do they mint in any given year?

My memory of Skiddaw Dodd is that while it is not the stereotypically pointed summit. it is certainly narrower than the much longer and broader Skiddaw, of whose massif it is a small part. I suggest that it is relatively sharper than Skiddaw. ...

TY for that information. Much appreciated as always.
That is interesting because Dodd isn't what I would have thought of as pointed. It is more of a rounded fell on the way up to Skiddaw Summit .

I am surprised at how few some of these were made. I once read some two ounce silver medallions had less than twenty made.
I would think a country would not enter into such a minting since it could easily design a real coin, but in your part of ...

What a lovely article and excellent idea. I like how the coin has to pertain to Alaska ; that makes it more meaningful.
The year by year account of what has been used is very interesting. I was unaware that Puffins were pertinent to Alaska ...

Hello Mari I hope you are well.
I used to come here with my dear parents so to be bringing my grandson is a very evocative and special thing to do. The four generations have visited Skiddaw Dodd.
I love walking and feel very privileged to ...
