Gussie Moran
On 20 June American tennis player Gertrude 'Gussie' Moran caused a sensation at Wimbledon when she wore a short skirt that revealed her frilly panties. Very daring in 1949! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbNg1v9cuqk

Tudor Watches
19 June is National Watch Day. The first watch was made in Germany c. 1504. In Elizabethan England, they were popular with the nobility. In 1571, Queen Elizabeth I was given a wristwatch as a gift. (At the time, it was called an arm watch). This is my history of clocks.
