who was just 14 at the time and who he later married when she was 19 and he was 32, her parents paying for a honeymoon in Italy that lasted two years. And when the happy couple returned, they settled in London, and Samuel started painting more conventional scenes which he could sell, like watercolours of Devon and Wales, as well as doing some tutoring. He was working hard.

He had to, not only to pay for their home in Marylebone, but also because when he had got back from his honeymoon, he discovered that his brother William had pawned all of his early paintings, and Palmer had to pay to get them back.

In 1861, the Palmer family moved out of London to a small cottage in Reigate, and we'll hear more about what he did here, including his most famous picture of a view you know today, in next week's show.

Would love it if you followed us on social and followed us on your favourite podcast app as well. The name is always the same. Just search for The Planet Reigate Podcast. OK, to this week's Planet Reigate Star Awards and to Woodhatch this week, Stephen says, to the lady who bought my daughter's lunch this morning at the co-op, I would just like to thank you for saving me from a meltdown because...

I forgot to leave her lunch money out. I'm a strong believer in karma and hope something good comes your way. So again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. So if you are that lady who gave the young girl some money for her lunch, thank you. And you are this week's worthy recipient of a Planet Rygate sprinkle of stardusts.

Now next week is our special birthday edition. Yeah, would you believe it? One year since the Planet Reigate podcast started. So we're not going to make a big deal of it, but we will give it a mention. And if you would like a mention yourself, if you've been enjoying the episodes over the past 12 months, then get in touch with me.

Hello at theplanetreigatepodcast.com and we'll give you a mention as well. This is Peter Stewart, Planet Reigate podcast and the Good Time Guide part two. And of course, Monday sees the start of a new school term. OK, well, there may be inset days and so on, but essentially this coming week, the kids go back to school and we kind of say goodbye, don't we, to summer and... Hello to autumn.

However, there are a few other things to tell you about. Not just the start of school, although this one fits in. It is the kidsclubsfamily.com and their Rygate Breakfast Club. Toast and spreads, bagels, crumpets, brioche, croissant, to name just a few. Do you like that? Croissant. A selection of cereals, yoghurt and fresh fruit. They're open from 7am at St Mark's Church Hall in Alma Road.

Holmesdale and Priory children there. And open from 7am, £11. Info.breakfast at thebreakfastclubs.com if you want some more information on that. Mondays from 6.30 at Buckland Park, Beginner's Kundalini Yoga Course. Now, I wasn't aware of Kundalini, but apparently what happens is they break down the breath work, the actions, the meditation process and relaxation.

And the scientific technology of Kundalini works on all of the body's systems to return balance to the body, mind and soul. It's a type of yoga very different from the rest. Kundalini works into the nervous system, deliberately switching between stress and relaxation. And the practice awakens sleepy energy in the spine, known as Kundalini.

Obviously, whenever we have Pilates or yoga or dance, obviously you need to check with a health professional before you take part in any of these, just to check regularly. that it is right for you, your body, your way of life, and so on. Yogashala on Insta is what you need to check out there. Wednesday the 4th, East Surrey Walkers Group have a walk at Outwood in Surrey.

Yeah, we claim that as part of the Planet Reigate area. Meet at the National Trust car park on Outwood Common. Mostly level walk through fields and woodland to the Bransland Wood and Bagg. Well-behaved dogs on short leads at all times. It's a circular walk, the ones we like. Start time at 10. Estimated finish, well, don't dawdle. 12.45 is when you'll be finishing.

If you want some more information on that, Vivian is the person to get in contact with on 07505 494 706.
