New stamps mark 75th anniversary of Peanuts comic strip
Good grief – Royal Mail has released images of new stamps to mark the 75th anniversary of the popular comic strip Peanuts. The eight stamps include specially adapted artworks from classic comic strips that feature the main characters, with some special British touches. Snoopy is seen perched on a red postbox with Woodstock, while Lucy and Linus enjoy a day at the seaside, building a sandcastle. One stamp shows Snoopy and Woodstock as Buckingham Palace guards (Royal Mail/PA) Another stamp shows Snoopy and Woodstock on guard duty outside Buckingham Palace. In another, Schroeder plays Pomp and Circumstance No 1 by Edward Elgar on the piano as Lucy, Snoopy and Charlie Brown celebrate nearby. Charlie Brown and Franklin are captured playing football, and another stamp shows Charlie Brown and Snoopy in the rain. For the 50 years Charles Schulz wrote Peanuts, the comic was read by millions around the world, and at one time was published in 2,600 newspapers globally. Lucy and Linus are shown with their sandcastle on another stamp (Royal Mail/PA) David Gold, Royal Mail's director of external affairs and policy, said: 'For generations, Peanuts has brought laughter, comfort, and quiet wisdom. 'This stamp collection is a heartfelt tribute to Charles M Schulz's enduring legacy and the timeless charm of his comic strip.' The stamps, and a range of collectible products, are available to pre-order from Thursday and go on general sale from July 24. Sign in to access your portfolio

Good Grief! A Peanuts Tamagotchi with Snoopy and Woodstock is coming soon.
To help commemorate the 75th anniversary of Charles M. Schulz's Peanuts comic strip, Bandai will soon be releasing a new Tamagotchi Nano featuring characters like Snoopy, Woodstock, and Harriet you can take care of and interact with — presumably without the risk of them dying if you're negligent. The Peanuts Tamagotchi includes a red silicone case shaped like Snoopy's doghouse and will feature additional characters from the comic like Charlie Brown, Lucy, and the piano-playing Schroeder. 1/3

Best Things to Do in Sonoma for Culinary Experiences and Outdoor Immersion
Despite the rolling vineyards that blanket most of its landscapes, there is much more to Sonoma County than wine. It's here where all the senses are seduced by fields, ocean, and air that feel richer thanks to the luscious Northern California climate. It's easy to enjoy getting lost on the scenic byways or spending days immersed in tastings and long lunches. But with so many ways to spend your visit, the county's new Signature Experiences program invites travelers into deeper firsthand explorations. Why just taste wine when you could learn expert pairing concepts to create your own flavor journeys? Why only sample prepared local ingredients when you could forage for seasonal delights along the Sonoma Coast's culinary wonderland? Between curated, in-depth experiences and everyday temptations, the county always has more to discover. Make sure to step outside of the tasting room at Paradise Ridge to soak in the views. Paradise Ridge Santa Rosa/Shwetha Kotek Getting there and around Drive north from San Francisco or Oakland airports to reach Sonoma County's southern gateways of Petaluma and the city of Sonoma in just over an hour. Highway 101 will lead to Santa Rosa, the county's biggest city (pop. 175,000), and home to Charles Schulz Sonoma County Airport. Continue north to reach foodie enclave Healdsburg, with Coppola Winery's fine vintages and cinematic treasures in nearby Geyserville. Westward from Santa Rosa takes you to artsy Sebastopol, and to Guerneville on the Russian River, the region's longtime LGBTQ-friendly holiday hideaway. Drive about 25 minutes further west where forests give way to Pacific scenery along the Sonoma Coast, from quiet Sea Ranch at the north, to Jenner's coastal park trails, down to Bodega Bay's inns and restaurants. Where to eat Sonoma County is a food-lover's paradise and a capital of fresh, local-seasonal dining. Expect to find especially tempting options in Healdsburg at high-end spots like Valette and Michelin-starred Single-Thread Farm. (Book your reservations well in advance.) More approachable is Spinster Sisters in Santa Rosa with a romantic outdoor dining area and menu broken into ocean, garden, and pasture—and, thankfully, cheese. Guerneville continues to see notable restaurants opening, most recently Road Trip, serving well-made American dishes with Thai touches; and the Lodge at Dawn Ranch, whose menu changes with the season but leads with Italian and Mexican influences. Along the coast, award-winning Terrapin Creek blends California and Japanese flavors on its short, creative menu. You'll taste seafood pulled right from the bay at casual eatery Fishetarian (get the chowder), and at recently opened Rocker Oysterfeller, with sweeping views from Lucas Wharf. Dungess crab, fried calamari, beer-battered shrimp, rock cod, and ice-cold beer are always on the menu at Rocker Oysterfeller's. Erik Castro/Rocker Oysterfeller Road Trip's signature dish is their fried chicken sandwich. Kelly Puleio/ Road Trip Restaurants across Sonoma celebrate farmers' best ingredients, but The Barlow in Sebastopol is a complex where you can try the greatest variety in one place, including excellent fare at Osito Tacos, Salt & Sea Poke, WM Cofield Cheesemakers, and excellent Fern Bar—a bar-focused restaurant devoted to Sonoma's flavors. The Barlow recently launched a happy-hour crawl with stops at six spots for dining and drinking. Build in spare time to browse its great indie shops. Things to do in Sonoma Along with the rollout of its Signature Experiences excursions, immersive tastings, and adventures, Sonoma County's Tasting Pass is handy for sampling dozens of wineries, distilleries, craft breweries, and cideries. Both large and small wineries encourage reservations, and the county also lists ones that welcome tasting-room walk-ins.
