“That is mahogany!!” – Was probably the most memorable lines in the film from dear Effie Trinket. Well, maybe I’m not on my own, but I was very impressed with the film adaptation. There were minor changes which is understandable in the circumstances of making a film from a book. I really enjoyed the perspective... Continue Reading →

After the Fire
I don't feel like I'm walking into a home, let alone my home. I try to keep my breathing steady, but I keep faltering. A month today.

History Bites: The Essex Rebellion (1601)
The Essex Rebellion is probably my favourite rebellion in the whole of the Tudor reign. First of all, I just want you to picture a camp, pretty young boy, very wealthy as he was the Queen’s favourite courtier in the Privy Council in her later stages of life. Robert Devereux AKA Earl of Essex And... Continue Reading →
