Good telling of the Gunpowder Plot from intended victims’ perspective is in 1 chapter of Sarah Fraser’s The Prince Who Would Be King. She makes a good case for fear instilled in Henry Stuart for the rest of his foreshortened life

Weather has decided it’s time for my annual reminder to you that around 12% of SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) sufferers have Summer Depression variant. For us, sunshine makes life much harder. Please be patient and supportive. And hearing it described as “good weather” all the time doesn’t help!
