Amateur historian- emphasis on amateur. Proud owner of Lizzie the Dog.
New book arrived today. I’m looking forward to learning about him and his dog.

I’ve been reading this one, it’s a history of Henry VIII’s fleet and it’s very interesting. I knew Henry was quite keen on his ships, but there are a lot of fascinating details that I didn’t know about.

Bought a new hat recently. Never let it be said that I am not at the cutting edge of fashion!

(But cocked hats are cool).

Lizzie went to the groomers today for a good pampering and teeth-cleaning!

I made the mistake of going into a bookshop earlier. I don’t regret it.

Went to see Gladiator 2 tonight. Obviously, not accurate at all, but that doesn’t matter. I enjoyed it, it was good. It was an incredible spectacle.

You may be comfy, but are you as comfy as Lizzie?

Just discovered one of my favourite harsh judgements in a history book, from “Black Redcoats” by Matthew Taylor (heartily recommended!):

“A prolific writer of panicked missives to superiors and subordinates, Brigadier General Winder was an opponent that an invading force would wish to face.”

There’s no such thing as too many books! I think I would be in trouble otherwise.

I seem to be settling in nicely here!
