    Hi all,

    I've started up a blog about my travels around England, which also cleverly features the last surviving wife of Henry VIII. If anyone was interested in seeing my holiday snaps and a few words about what I've been seeing, I'll be updating it as time and internet use permit:

    Lucky lion.
    Glad you are enjoying it, (the HP sauce notwithstanding, although you do coyly admit to it helping you lose weight)

    Petrarch, I tried to post this message on your blog but I guess you have to join there; so here it is:

    Wait, Henry lived in the 1500's; so how could Katherine survive? Is she a ghost? hahah...bye the way, this is Janine from Litnet! Love your blog and thanks for the great post card. Glad you are having a great time; can't wait to see more photos.

Take care, oh dwellers of the land of my birth, for they do smoother everything with a mixture of HP and tomato and they make one eat nothing but bland boiled mutton and gray, mashed vegetables. Oh beware! I have lost weight. I have grown gaunt and faint. I am hardly certain that I shall be able to survive long enough to drag myself to the Bodleian again tomorrow....

    I have written an entire blog on the subject so that my fellow Americans can be appropriately wary. Simply click here http://www.online-literature.com/forums/blog.php?b=8955 Here is a preview of the torturous account to come:

    Oh my gosh; I just found this photo...you don't look too gaunt to me...I think you look lovely! Love your necklace, jewelry and dress. I didn't see the culinary delights section in your blog. I will have to preview that now. I guess you are now referring to your blog on this forum. Can't wait to read it. hahah...food sounds yummy.....NOT!!!

    Which one? The other one independent of Litnet? It said my post failed...I didn't know why but I didn't sign up for the sight. I just used anonoymous.
