I am now hooked on all English history because of ....

In fact it's one of the things I enjoy the most when travelling alone because I can enjoy museums at my own leisurely pace without worrying about someone else being bored! (but then mealtimes when you're travelling alone are depressing...)<br><br>I'm also a big history buff! In high school I actually contemplated being a history teacher! And then decided to go into science instead 'cause it was "easier" lol! :p But my favourite books are almost always historical fiction and I luuuuuv period movies and series (and yeah, The Tudors has been great! can't wait for the next -and final, snif!- season)CrazyCrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2918785709668270010.post-32001902562621087512009-08-12T19:59:05.371+02:002009-08-12T19:59:05.371+02:00Thanks for sharing your pictures/stories of your t...Thanks for sharing your pictures/stories of your trip to London! You got some great photos (even if the grumps wouldn't let you take pictures inside Westminster).<br>Makes me want to go back and read my Old & Middle English and British Renaissance Lit. textbooks. <br>It reminded me that I'm keeping an eye out for a well-written biography for Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. (I had no idea Elizabeth and Mary were buried together! It's almost sweet in a morbid sort of way, given the speculation that Elizabeth didn't really want Mary executed.)Nickyhttp://www.neolibarium.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2918785709668270010.post-90467624390294924922009-08-12T21:56:16.587+02:002009-08-12T21:56:16.587+02:00I think you've read the wrong Mary Nicky!

Mary TUDOR is buried with Elisabeth, not Mary STUART! :p i.e. her sister the first Queen of England? ;o)<br><br>but it's sweet that King James 1st had his mother and Elisabeth buried in close proximity and with equally regal tombs... :o)CrazyCrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.com
