Snails In Wigs On The Moon Anyone?

Today is one of the more bizarre national days, It's the day to celebrate both National Escargot Day and National Wig Out day. Now we're not suggesting you put wigs on snails, that would be a bit too surreal. However the unusual was what sisters Alice and Kate Clark had in mind when they came up with Wig Out Day in 2006. Their intention was to get all the local residents to attend work wearing various types of wigs. The idea being that at the end of the work day everyone would gather downtown for a huge shindig. This sounds like a good way to celebrate the day, however if you fancy something more conservative you could try eating Escargot. The French dish is made from snails in a very rich sauce and is highly popular throughout France, with the French consuming 40,000 metric tons of snails a year!  Now if you do decide to treat your palate to some Escargot you'll need to wash them down.  Traditionally the French opt for a red wine with their escargot dish. This could be made all the more special with a Red Wine & Pair of Crystal Glasses. Lovely!
On this day in 1543 Polish Astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus died in the year his major work "Six Books Concerning the Revolutions of the Heavenly Orbs" was published. It was to cause controversy amongst religious leaders who condemned his heliocentric view of the universe as heresy. Fortunately his views were later validity and he is now seen as the father of modern astronomy. We love at Personal Touch Gifts love astronomy and feel that thoughts about space can set imaginations alight. If your youngsters feel the same why not get them a space diary to write down all their thoughts?
