And perfect for Halloween too! As for Henry VIII, what a nasty so-and-so he was. Although nowadays he seems a bit like a pantomime villain doesn't he?<br />I know what you mean about luxury hotels. I'm generally more of a Travelodge girl (not by choice) but on the odd occasion I've stayed somewhere nice and historical I've discovered the simple pleasure of people-watching whilst sitting in the hotel lounge... And yes, pretending to be a Miss Marple-type character.<br />You can see why this doesn't quite work when staying at a Travelodge/Premier Inn type establishment.<br />S xSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08038836502384520598noreply@blogger.com
