Hi all, I am a newbie and although I’ve only just created a new user account I log on every day to see what new articles Claire has written, this is a fabulous site which is very informative.

A bit about me – I have always been fascinated with the Tudor period since learning about Henry VIII at school when I was 11 I’m 41 now. I’m not as knowledgeble as you boys and girls but I try and learn new facts every day about this period.

P.S I love reading all the new comments on the forum too.

Anyway today I have decided to be brave and perhaps every now and again join in with the discussion.
