It's hard to put your finger on but the aura is almost magical.. A clever blend of natural materials and charming design has this home and property exuding country warmth with a sophisticated edge.

The daughter of James II, Mary and her husband William of Orange became co-rulers of England after the 'Glorious Revolution'.
Mary was born on 30 April 1662, the eldest daughter of James, Duke of York and his first wife Anne Hyde. James converted to Catholicism at the end of the 1660s, but Mary and her sister Anne were raised as Protestants. In November 1677, Mary married her Dutch cousin William, Prince of Orange and went to the Netherlands to live with him.

How you go from 1659 to 1700 in this thread mystifies me - must be moderator perogative

 

No,Anti. Do you not know about how the clock works? Going to the time 16:60 would have been ridiculous!!!

 

In numerical order, state the number and a factoid or a bit of trivia Thus with those guidelines 1659 becomes 1660 or am I being pedantic - no don't answer that so moving on

During World War II, all that the outside world knew of Los Alamos and its top-secret laboratory was the mailing address PO Box 1663, Santa Fe, New Mexico. That box number, still part of our address, symbolizes our historic role in the nation's service.

 

The Great Plague (1665–66) was the last major epidemic of the bubonic plague to occur in the Kingdom of England (part of modern-day United Kingdom). It happened within the centuries-long time period of the Second Pandemic, an extended period of intermittent bubonic plague epidemics which began in Europe in 1347, the first year of the "Black Death", an outbreak which included other forms such as pneumonic plague, and lasted until 1750.[1]
The Great Plague killed an estimated 100,000 people, about 15% of London's population Plague is caused by the Yersinia pestis bacterium, which is usually transmitted through the bite of an infected rat flea.

Hey Woopert - Been lashing down for a couple of days but this morning has dawned cool and sunny - off to the pool to do some laps and a bit of hydrotherapy - board meeting today followed by dinner with my dad on the anniversary of my mums birthday on the day she would have turned 100 - broad beans flowering so soon to bear pods that will disappear down my gullet quicker than they appear - luv 'em ATB

 

1666- the great fire of London.

The fire started in Pudding Lane, swept along Profiterole Close and finished at CoffeeandMints Boulevard.

 

In September 1667, a powerful hurricane struck colonial Virginia. The storm was first recorded off the Lesser Antilles on 1 September. On 6 September, the storm moved through the Outer Banks of North Carolina and proceeded to make landfall just to the northeast of Jamestown, Virginia. The hurricane lasted 24 hours, bringing with it, violent winds, heavy rains, and a 3.7 m (12 ft) storm surge. Approximately 10,000 houses were destroyed.

 

On this day in 1669, Mount Etna, on the island of Sicily in modern-day Italy, begins rumbling. Multiple eruptions over the next few weeks killed more than 20,000 people and left thousands more homeless. Most of the victims could have saved themselves by fleeing, but stayed, in a vain attempt to save their city.
