Friday's Felixstowe Breakfast Briefing

Friday's fun fact

Did you know that a Canadian woman who lost her wedding ring while gardening found it 13 years later growing on a carrot?

Mary Grams always loved gardening, but not as much as she loved her husband. That's why she couldn't bear to risk breaking his heart by telling him she lost her wedding ring in the garden.

Instead, she went out and bought a cheap replacement. More surprising than the fact that her husband never noticed the difference is the fact that 13 years after the incident, the ring resurfaced on a carrot growing in the very same garden.
