Ha! A Blog at Last!

Well, we've joined the ranks of the technologically informed, and so here's the blog. All we need now is something to put in it.

Emily's been extremely self sufficient today, we've hardly seen her! I finished off work for my BBC deadlines, while Jon did the weekly shop....and our little urchin spent the whole time in her bedroom, listening to tapes and doing incredibly detailed portraits of Elizabeth I and Henry VIII. Having spent months absorbing everything she could find about ancient Egypt, her new passion, as of the last couple of weeks, is the Tudors and boy is she keen!

She asked me where she could find Tudor portraits online, so I suggested she look for the National Portrait Gallery website, which she found all by herself, and then searched for and printed off a set of portraits she could use for inspiration. Really proud of her internet skills :)

Oh, must just say, the thing that sparked her interest in Tudors was Jon reading her Who Was Anne Boleyn? published by Short Books. Great series of books, highly recommended.
