Badge of the week: I acquired this unique piece for my Primrose League collection at an auction, and it has since become a treasured part of it.
The badge is a Dame’s brooch, dating from around the 1920s, produced by W.O. Lewis (Badges) Ltd of Birmingham. These brooches were worn by women who were members of the Primrose League, offering a way for them to engage in political activities during a time when their participation was severely limited due to widespread exclusion from direct political involvement.
The Primrose League, established in the late 19th century in the United Kingdom, was renowned for its motto ‘Imperium et Libertas,’ translating as ‘Empire and Liberty.’ It played a distinctive role in British politics and was named after the primrose, believed to be the favorite flower of Benjamin Disraeli, a notable politician and statesman.

Business and pleasure – after more than six weeks of non-stop special assignments every day, I was rewarded with the opportunity to drop my keyboard and see ‘The Seventh Seal’ live.
It’s me and Woody Allen, with beliefs in ‘The Seventh Seal,’ likely one of the best movies ever. This masterpiece by Ingmar Bergman was featured in a new, rearranged production at our local theatre. As an avid fan, I was there to savor all my favorite lines:
“KNIGHT: I want knowledge, not faith, not suppositions, but knowledge. I want God to stretch out His hand towards me, reveal Himself and speak to me.
KNIGHT: I want to ask him about God. He, if anyone, must know.
KARIN: Now I can see that it's you. Somewhere in your eyes, somewhere in your face, but hidden and frightened, is that boy who went away so many years ago.
And when the Lamb broke the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about the space of half an hour. And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. And another …”
