Sipping a cup of Planters Afternoon black, without milk, takes on a completely different flavour after a scone liberally doused in clotted cream. ( cream acts like adding milk to the tea, Mr Silva explains. Similarly, try a tea you might usually drink with milk when eating a sandwich with lots of cheese or butter in it.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) A federal judge on Tuesday blocked Alabama’s near total abortion ban from taking effect next month, saying the law, part wave of new abortion restrictions by conservative states, is clearly unconstitutional.

Officers who were captured were often given parole and they tended to stay in nearby towns.Captured soldiers often brought their families with them, who would stay temporarily in Yaxley.Once inside Norman Cross, the incarcerated soldiers were allowed to make and sell craft objects. They would carve items such as toys and models from wood or stone, which they could take to regular markets, where business was done between prisoners and the local population.Over 500 artefacts from the prison can now be found in Peterborough Museum.
