Tudor Tale of the Week
Tudor Escape Tunnels
The town of Tenby hides many secrets, including a network of tunnels built in the 1400s that lead to the harbour. These tunnels, possibly created by smugglers, may have once helped Henry Tudor (the future Henry VII) escape Richard III and flee to safety in France. Now, the entrance chamber is in the back room of a Boots chemist, but once upon a time they linked the shops of a local merchant to the harbour. It is said that Henry and his uncle Jasper hid in those shops for a time before escaping through the tunnels.
Writers about Writing
"You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you."
Ray Bradbury
The Catrin Surovell Series
‘The Tudor world is researched and illuminated brightly within an intriguing plot with finely drawn characters. A joy to read.’
- David Stephen
This historical mystery series is set during the early years of Queen Elizabeth I’s reign (1560s). Lady Catrin is one of the queen’s ladies of the bedchamber, and she is very skilled at finding the truth in the midst of secrets and lies. This leads her into danger more times more often than she would like, but she remains determined to serve her queen and bring murderers to justice.

Thoughts in Pink Socks
I have a pair of pink socks. They are are too loose, too short, and so fluffy I can't fit my feet into shoes when I wear them. Essentially, the only thing they do well is amuse me. I think of odd things when I wear these socks, and here I will share them with you.
