Hello, i have been reading the Anne Boleyn pages which i receive in my mail regularly for two years nearly and it wasn't until this week that i found my way to the forums. So although i am new to posting i feel like i know a lot of the people on here from the comments i read below the different subjects that Claire writes about.

I have always loved history since seeing ladies in high headdresses as a child and consequently realizing they were early mediaevel Queens and ladies. When we went to Scarborough for our weeks holiday from the mines where my Dad worked i didn't want to go on the jumping jimmies or amusements until i had visited the castle on the hill above the town. So as you see history has run through my life since i could first think and reason about things.

My other big love is for all animals, i currently have a black dog called Queenie and she sits next to me as i spend many happy hours reading about Anne Boleyn. The woman who throughout all the historic lives i have read about remains above and beyond all others my favourite.
