The oldest theme park in New Hampshire is over 100 years old. Here's where it is
As the weather gets warmer, it's almost time to return outdoors to some of your favorite summer attractions, including beaches, festivals and theme parks. Luckily, New Hampshire has plenty of longstanding theme parks perfect for a fun-filled summer day wrapped in New England tradition. In fact, the oldest theme park in New Hampshire opened over 100 years ago, and you've probably been to it without even knowing. Located in Salem, Canobie Lake Park first opened in 1902. Here's the story of how the park came to be, as well as how to visit this summer. According to the park's website, Canobie Lake dates back to 1902, when trolley line company The Hudson, Pelham & Salem (HP&S) Railways opened the park as a resort for trolley cars. Original attractions included picnics, canoeing, sporting events and a penny arcade. However, with the rise of the automobile in the 1920s, HP&S Railways started to face trouble, and in 1929, Canobie Lake Park went out of business. The park reopened in 1932 thanks to a purchase from a private citizen. In 1936, Canobie Lake constructed its first rollercoaster, The Greyhound, today known as the Yankee Cannonball. Despite its coaster, Canobie was mainly known as an entertainment destination, hosting names like Duke Ellington and Frank Sinatra in its Dancehall Theater. In 1958, Canobie Lake Park was purchased by new owners, who are credited with adding rides, games and concessions that made Canobie into a true theme park. Today, Canobie Lake Park stands as one of New England's most popular theme parks, complete with over 85 attractions and an additional 180 water attractions at Castaway Island, Canobie's waterpark.

Best-selling shoulder bag that looks like Hermes for £21k less is back in stock
Want the designer look without spending a fortune? There's a best-selling handbag that looks just like the iconic Hermes Berkin bag but without the £22k price tag While we all may crave the luxury look when it comes to our accessories, price tags between £22k and £32k are outside of the average budget - yes you read that right. The celebrity-loved and iconic statement piece, the Hermes Berkin bag, is currently selling for around £23,950, with other colours and measurements retailing for higher price points like £32,750 - costs which are likely outside of most of our bank accounts (if that doesn't sound like an impossibel amount to you, we're jealous). But, that doesn't mean you have to sacrafice the designer look, as there's a best-selling shoulder bag that boasts all the style, elegance and luxury of the classic Berkin, with a much more feasible price tag. Recently restocked after it flew off virtual shelves, DeMillier's The Hudson shoulder bag is the perfect piece to add to your collection if you want to exude those luxe vibes, without blowing the bank. The Hudson is designed to last, making it the perfect investment piece to keep in your wardrobe for every occasion, for many seasons to come. Featuring an iconic belted strap and gold-plated lock akin to that of the Hermes bag, The Hudson offers both practicality and sophistication. Versatile and spacious, the bag adapts effortlessly to everyday needs, with expandable side panels that adjust with stud fastenings to provide extra space, making it an ideal choice whether as your everday casual bag or your new go-to work bag, as it offers plenty of capacity to store all of your essentials and more. Securely closed with a dog clip fastening, this bag promises to keep your belongings safe in style. Meanwhile, the two leather handle holders keep the top handles neatly together, so you don't have to worry about your items spilling out every time you pop the bag. Complete with a top handle and an adjustable, removable crossbody strap for various styling options and ease of carrying, this sophisticated bag can be styled in hand, on the crook of the arm, or across the body. Earning more points than just it's timeless and chic look, The Hudson is ethically made from sustainably sourced, LWG gold-rated Italian leather, blending a luxury, classic style with contemporary refinement. Retailing for £550, this bag comes in various colourways and designs to choose from - but I'd hurry, this gem has already sold-out once before, and you won't want to miss this chance again. For alternative styles emulating Hermes' classic and chic look, check out Dune's Direct Tote Bag for £62.

Singer Amy Macdonald performs surprise gig in Glasgow
The singer, from Bishopbriggs, delighted a packed crowd of hundreds in Princes Square. Taking to the stage, Amy beamed at the crowd and said: 'Who's all taken the day off sick then? Next time they say the economy is s***, it'll be my fault, eh? 'I remember going to see Travis do something like this outside of Buchanan Galleries, and my mate pulled a sickie but ended up on the news, which was a bit awkward.' Amy, 37, got the crowd singing along and clapping instantly as she started by belting out her hit Mr Rock & Roll. (Image: Newsquest/Colin Mearns) In between songs, she joked about how 'disconcerting' it was watching people go up and down on the shopping centre's escalators while she was singing. Her song The Hudson from her last album, The Human Demands, was followed by rapturous applause from the audience. Amy's new single, Is This What You've Been Waiting For, rang out through the beautiful Princes Square halls as the sun poured in. Her number one hit This Is the Life received the biggest cheer, with a chorus of shoppers and fans singing along before she rounded off the short set with Statues. Speaking with the Glasgow Times, Amy laughed about the weirdness of the show: "Yeah, it's random as hell. I've obviously been here loads throughout my life, but I never thought I'd be doing a gig here! (Image: Newsquest/Colin Mearns)'I thought this was going to sound mental in here. But it actually worked quite well. 'It's like its own wee Shepherd's Bush Empire with all the tiers. 'It's nice to do things like this for a lot of people who maybe don't get to a lot of gigs and things like that. So being able to just do something and go, 'Everybody's welcome,' was so nice.' Amy couldn't resist a quick 'shameless plug' for her upcoming new album Is This What You've Been Waiting For, which is out this July. She also pleaded with the crowd to 'spend their pennies' on tickets for her show at the Hydro in December. Tickets for the show go on sale next week for what will be her second time headlining Glasgow's largest indoor arena, having sold it out in 2022.
