F07 Up BOYLEN Anne Boylen was executed on May 19 1536. Second wife of Henry XIII. She pretty much started the Church of England, was mother of Elizabeth I and had more intrigue in the court in 3+ years as queen than would fit in 3 years of a TV drama.

Pity its at L07 it would have filled the line at C1

H1 down ASPARAGUS
I bought fresh asparagus at the farmer's market.
It's the first local asparagus of the season.
I'll give it a try tomorrow.

Sorry No Quiz, (it's just about the same outbound stops as it was last time I went to Cairns.)

Not sure which way we will be coming back so I will try to do a quiz then.

OK, I will fill the gap you created in the J row with (J02-J10) Lindbergh

At 7:52 A.M., 20 May 1927 Charles Lindbergh urged his small plane off of the runway at Roosevelt Field in Long Island, New York. Thirty-three and one half-hours and 3,610 miles (5,810 km) later he landed in Paris, the first to fly the Atlantic alone. Lindbergh wanted to prove that a non stop flight was not only possible but would someday be a common way for people to travel.

They grow here in Pittsburgh and had started to bloom by May 1. Usually they don't start till the second week of May.
