Sad to Say. Anne/Annie was more of a mother…….! I’d spend hours alone in her orchard with a book. Generation skip vibe?

The Winter Queen

WikiWhatev’s : Elizabeth of Bohemia The History of Bohemia is very complicated. I have Carola Oman’s book. It was research for my first novel. The Winter Queen, daughter of James I, married Frederick, Elector Palatine. Their fight involved the Thirty Years War. Trying to fit all this info into the Hidden History is doing my […]

Tomorrow is my English Nan’s birthday (Scottish Nan died when I was 6) This is why we vibed, me and Enid Anne Sylvia. But she preferred Anne. Or Annie. She introduced me to Anya Seton and this book is probably why my sense of history always stopped with the ’45. I’ll spend tomorrow re-reading. In […]

God’s Honest. You CANNOT make this up! As I was waiting for the computer to catch up with me and upload the last post, this turned up in my inbox. Now, peeps. What gender created Destroyers? Look it up. Can’t STOP LAUGHING :o) Saurabh Tripathi : Destroyer Evolution

This is why Men Behaving Badly resonates so well with me now. Having spent my whole life in a MALE-centric world – I can see right through their BS. I have very little respect for the Male of the Species. Not all…..just 99.9% of them. And NO. I’m not a RaViNg Feminist. I happen to […]

There Was a Crooked Man

History repeats and repeats and repeats. Even Arthur Conan Doyle wrote a story about him! The rhyme was first recorded by James Orchard Halliwell in 1842: There was a crooked man, and he went a crooked mile, […]

Mosse Labyrinth

I bought this book in an airport when it first came out because of the subject matter. Can I recommend it? Urm. Eeerrr. Oooh. Well. On the positive side, Ms Mosse has a second home in the Languedoc so she describes the sights, sounds, smells etc very well. Other than that……!? The book was over-hyped. […]

Annie. Get Your Gun.

I spent too much time on my living room floor with little ankle biters around loading magazines for weapons of all shapes and sizes (FAF Blanks of course) to not vibe with Annie Get Your Gun. But “History” tells us that the gals stayed at home in the solar darning socks and doing needlework! I […]
