Tudor Tale of the Week
Cromwell vs Anne on Home Turf
A rare portrait of Thomas Cromwell was purchased by Hever Castle, Anne Boleyn’s childhood home, and put on display in 2024 after restoration. This was a wise investment in many ways…but at the same time, Anne herself would probably be outraged that Cromwell has invaded those sacred spaces. It was Cromwell who orchestred her downfall in 1536, and the two were bitter enemies by then. Anne even threatened to have Cromwell beheaded …only to meet the same fate herself a few months later.

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.
