The helicopter baby

Remember a post of mine from several months ago where I wrote about a train baby? Well, here's a similar story...the Royal Navy rescue helicopter baby:

I love reading about the birth of a baby; it makes a pleasant change from the endless supply of bad news.

As a side note, I briefly misread the article as "Isle of Sicily" rather than "Isles of Scilly". Sicily is an island and a major region of Italy, whereas the Isles of Scilly are an archipelago off the coast of Cornwall (Cornwall is a county in South West England). Before I read the title again, I wondered why there was a Royal Navy rescue helicopter in Italy delivering babies!

Pasties

Have you ever heard of or eaten a pasty before? It's a type of wrap dish in that it consists of meat and vegetables folded up inside a pastry. Here's a picture:

The pasty is on the right, below the baked potato and next to the baked beans. Pasties are associated with the English county of Cornwall, located in the south-west of the country; it is assumed that they originated in that county, but from what I understand the exact origins are not clear.
