We are watching Henry and his 6 wives at the moment with Pud (with a few clever diversions at gory moments!) Its AMAZING the grip she has on this bit of history – she recognises Cardinal Wolsey, all the wives, the children, who died why etc etc. Its incredibly gratifying to see what goes in when its a natural interest that is followed… really amazing really.

Mustn;t forget to say that Bubba learnt to get back downstairs this week – a major achievement – waaaaah! my baby!
