Former home of British artist Arthur Croft Mitchell on sale for first time in more than a century
'When my uncle [Terence] died, the portrait of my grandmother in the moth costume she wore to the Chelsea Arts Ball the night she met my grandfather was still hanging on the wall, along with the many portraits that followed as she became his muse. Letters and photographs of artists' trips to France and accounts of living through the blitz still filled drawers and cupboards. The toys my uncle and father left behind them when evacuated to America during the Second World War were still in the drawers where my grandmother had packed them away.

Britain's rarest car once loved by budget drivers is revealed – with just 2 left in circulation
DRIVEN TO DEATH Britain's rarest car once loved by budget drivers is revealed – with just 2 left in circulation Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A ONCE-popular French hatchback, long loved by budget drivers, has been driven to near extinction — with just two left on Britain's roads. The Renault 6 TL, a 1970s favourite known for its blend of practicality and modest luxury, is believed to be one of the rarest cars in the UK today. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Car experts at the time praised its economy and character, calling it more distinctive than many of its competitors Credit: Alamy 3 The model was based on the Renault 4 platform but aimed slightly higher up the market Credit: Alamy First spotted on British roads in late 1969, the Renault 6 TL was especially popular among drivers looking for comfort and reliability without breaking the bank. Manufactured in France and later in Spain, the TL model launched in 1974 as a more refined version, boasting extras like front disc brakes, heated rear windows, reclining seats, childproof locks, and winding windows. The model was based on the Renault 4 platform but aimed slightly higher up the market, appealing to motorists who wanted something trendier without the price tag of the larger Renault 16. Its 1.1-litre engine delivered a smooth drive, and the generous boot space made it ideal for family holidays or country getaways. In its heyday, the Renault 6 TL offered what many considered 'affordable luxury.' Priced at just over £1,000 in the mid-1970s, it was costlier than rivals like the Citroën Dyane but offered better performance and features. Car experts at the time praised its economy and character, calling it more distinctive than many of its competitors. Production of the Renault 6 ended in France in 1980 and finally ceased in Spain in 1986 after over 1.7 million units were built. But like many workhorse vehicles of the past, it slowly vanished from British roads as newer models took over and older ones succumbed to rust and wear. Today, only two roadworthy Renault 6 TLs are left in the UK – one of which belongs to Terence Byrne. Based in County Down, Terence bought his 1974 TL in memory of his late wife, Jennifer, who adored the model. He named the car JEN 74, and it now serves as a tribute to her, turning heads at classic car shows. The vehicle had once replaced his Ford Escort Mk1 back in the 1980s, proving to be just as capable across fields and stone tracks as it was on the road. Decades later, after reconnecting with the Renault Classic Car Club, Terence was finally able to find another – travelling all the way to Wimborne, Dorset, to bring JEN 74 home. Classic car enthusiasts say the Renault 6 represents a forgotten chapter in motoring history – a time when cars were simple, practical and built to last. While it might lack the sleek styling of modern hatchbacks, it more than makes up for it in charm and character.

From fighting crime to cooking: Ex-policeman opens prawn mee stall with freshly fried pork lard
The Prawn Story at is a month-old hawker stall established by 40-year-old Terence Aw. He is an ex-police officer who served in the force for 10 years before deciding to pursue his passion for F&B. However, this isn't Terence's first hawker stint. 9 years ago, he launched his first venture, Aw's Signature Minced Pork Noodle, selling bak chor mee. Although the Tanglin Halt Market outlet closed last year, he still operates two others at Clementi and Woodlands, which he has since entrusted to his staff. Throughout his 9 years in the industry, Terence has made many friends and learned a great deal from each of them. This was when he developed the interest to tackle different local specialities. One area he invested a lot of time and effort in was the art of making prawn broth. He was mentored by someone who had previously worked at a well-established prawn mee business. When he chanced upon an empty stall at Ghim Moh Market, he seized the opportunity to open The Prawn Story. The menu features the Signature Prawn Noodle (S$5/S$7), which comes with your choice of noodles, 2 prawns, dish cakes, prawn paste, sliced eggs and braised pork. You can also try the In Prawn Broth (S$5/S$7) featuring a generous amount of clams. For those who want a more luxurious treat, the Supreme Big Prawn Noodle (S$9/S$11) features 2 big prawns, clam, pork ribs, braised pork, fish cake, prawn paste, and sliced egg. Instead of the usual lean pork slices, Terence substitutes them with braised pork that's also served at Aw's Signature. The prawns are peeled with the head and tail intact, allowing people to extract the sinfully-rich prawn essence. The pork lard is prepared in-house, and to ensure freshness, he tries to fry it almost daily. If you're looking for a new prawn mee spot, why not swing by 20 Ghim Moh Road Market & Food Centre and give Terence your support?
