The Cardinal by Alison Weir

 

Dear friends. What do we know of Cardinal Wolsey, right hand man to Henry VIII until he fell out of favour? 

Best selling historical novelist Alison Weir brings the Cardinal to life in her new book.  We learn about a man whose religious calling was somewhat reluctantly accepted;  a man who nurtured a secret love, and who lost everything dear to him. 

Today is my turn on the book blog tour for The Cardinal. 

Maximising a Galley Kitchen

Dear friends.  We're just completed a kitchen renovation. It's the first time I've ever had a brand new kitchen. 

When we moved into this house 20 years ago the kitchen had been recently updated - on the cheap - to help sell the house. 

It's a small galley kitchen, typical of this era of house (late 1920s).
