Hi

For a long time i have been in terested in History, which is amazing really, because our history teacher at the time was really rather boring, just dictated and we scribbled bits of information down and that was pretty much it. He did however like to mention that we could 'titivate' our pictures, i think he got some enjoyment out of telling a school full of girls to colour in their work in this way!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyhow, like many other people, King Henry Vlll and his many wives have for a long time now fascinated me and for a while, wanted to visit places that have a connection with these ladies.

Well, last week i had the chance to visit Peterborough Catherdral, this building just happened to house the burial site of Henrys first wife, Katherine of Aragon, hence i thought i would continue showing you my findings, all of the burial sites of his six wives, not neccessarily in marriage order.

Third time lucky?

Third time lucky?

ive tired several times to start a blog, as everybody around me seemed to be doing so. After several attempts over the years and failing miserably thought i would try again.

Ive always been a fan of pen and paper and thought that if everybody used the digital, i want it now, bring me a coffee...now world...............things i enjoy would fade away into the nothingness of the online world.

Im sure that it wont, im hoping that it wont, as i remember the joy of school days the stationary shop on a saturday morning, buying that new eraser and the spiral jotter, for me to take home and write in. I have been known to buy writing paper and booklets and not even use them! This is one of the traits that i have successfully managed to pass onto my daughter; her desk is festooned with pens, pencils, rubbers and rulers that bend in the middle - reminds me of me.

Memories like that can never be replaced; therefore, here goes with what is more likely my fourth attempt, if im honest.

Dont expect perfect grammer, expect spelling mistakes and fits and starts with the updates, so here goes.............................................................
