Sentimental find
Decades later after her late husband lost his ring, Ann Kendrick finally found the piece of jewellery while clearing the garden. The 90-year-old Cornwall resident said the piece of metal "popped out of the ground" as she pulled some grass. "It didn't look at all like a wedding ring - it looked like a dirty piece of bent metal," she said. "I looked at it and thought 'no, it couldn't be'." Her late husband, who died 22 years ago, was working in the same garden back in 1987 when he lost the ring. Happy about her discovery, Mrs Kendrick will get the ring repaired and wear it as a necklace in remembrance of her late husband.

"I cannot forecast you the action of Russia. It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, but perhaps there is a key. That key is Russian national interest." I felt this quote would not be out of place in describing the ongoing situation in Ukraine where Russia, once again (83 years later) has kept everyone guessing!"
