Vera Hue-Williams (1899-1992), the daughter of a barrister, fled Russia in 1917 with her mother, Baroness Kostovsky, and sister Olga, apparently penniless apart from the jewels sewn into her petticoat hem. Like many leaving Russia they ended up in Paris where in 1927 she married her first husband, a British diplomat called George Owen. This marriage ended in divorce and in 1931 she became the second wife of Walter Sherwin Cottingham of the Berger Paint company (his first wife had been the soprano, Maggie Teyte). After Walter’s death in 1936 Vera married again in 1940, this time to Thomas Lilley, chairman of the shoe firm Lilley and Skinner. Together they founded the Woolton House Stud near Newbury and also lived at Middleton-on-Sea near Goodwood where they entertained lavishly. Thomas Lilley died in 1959, and in 1963 Vera married her fourth husband, Colonel Roger Hue-Williams. She continued to breed racehorses including her husband’s horse Altesse Royale which won three major races in 1971. Roger predeceased her in 1987 and when she died in 1992 she left £9 million. The sale of her jewels raised around £3 million.

Flimsy like a disposable picnic sheet
Colour Name: Clear, Size Name: 182.9W x 182.9L cm (1 Panels)
"Premium". "Sturdy". Utter nonsense. This is thin and flimsy like a cheap disposable picnic / ground sheet.

Compact, Powerful, and Long-Lasting Handheld Fan with Extra Features
Color: Pink
I took this little handheld fan to a concert in mid June last year and absolutely loved it. It is small, easy to carry, and holds a charge really well. I have probably used it for over 3 hours on both low and high speeds, and it is still going strong on a single charge. I also really like that it doubles as a battery charger and a flashlight, which makes it super convenient to have on hand for different situations. Another great feature is the safety design. The blades automatically stop if anything comes into contact with them, which is appreciated. Overall, this is a great portable fan that I would definitely recommend, especially for concerts, travel, or hot days outside.

It’s a super good product! Compact but mighty!
Color: Brown
Don’t let the size of this fan fool you! It is powerful, great for a hot summer day, or if your car has no ac, it’s not only a fan it is a flashlight which is very bright, and the topper of all is it’s a phone charger!! For such a small item but packs quite the punch . It is small enough to fit in your purse, pocket or backpack! But don’t let the size fool you!

Perfect for Summer
Color: Pink
I ordered this portable fan for a trip to the Caribbean and it was perfect. It definitely kept me cool during the heat. It's small and lightweight and it has various settings for different levels of flow. It doesn't oscillate but that's fine with me. I've brought it with me on multiple trips so I'd say it's reliable and it has great power too. The blush pink color is so cute and feminine I love it!
