LIPSTICK

Watching Eddi (again) just now reminded me of Mrs McGinty and the reason why I’ve NEVER liked lipstick. Apart from the fact that I know the history behind it and…my Mad AF hair tends to stick to it. Not an attractive look :o( Oooops. Did I give away a wee clue there? #TMI for a […]

Veritas

Many years ago I researched and wrote a short novel titled Veritas. It centred around Paris, 17th century, the #first theatre there, their pre-police police force and Louis XIII’s brand new (?)

Hobble Skirts

It’s taken me a while to process this one! A few days ago, I got outta the shower and wrapped a bath towel a bit too tightly. It made me hobble (look it up?) down a hall, up four steps and down another hall. I made myself laugh :o) Eons ago, when I had my […]

Sanity vs Insanity

The only FACT that is keeping me half-way sane at the moment is… …NO MATTER which Historical timeline I research right now, the story is always the same. A dead King. A young male heir. Two women fighting for FULL power and control.

How Many Generations?

OK. This is going to take me much, MUCH longer than I originally thought. The Sentence of NOTE in the above image is about Gaythelos’ son and great, great grandson BOTH being called Hiber. There are also supposed to be 4 generations from Scota and Gaythelos landing in Spain via the River Ebro and the […]
