Hello Everyone!

I am so delighted to have found this blog!  When Claire mentioned how peoples eyes glaze over when we start to talk about Tudor history I knew I had found a kindred spirit.  I don't recall when I first became interested in \”our queen\” other than that I lost a painting contest in the first grade because there were traces of pencil marks on my painting of Tudor ladies.  When I was a 16 year old teenager in Norway I tried to convince Lord Astor to give me a job as a tour guide at Hever. I recieved a very gracious reply, but no job offer, so a few years later I created a Tudor tour of my own since no other Scandinavian teenager would accompany me on a historical quest!  Today I am a physician in the US, a mother of a teens, and oddly enough a model and talent agent. I am currently working on a stage play about the reincarnation of Catherine Howard, visited by the spirit of Anne Boleyn. Without giving the plot away at this moment, let it suffice to say that Anne would be pleased with the outcome.

 I look forward to meeting many of you on our May 2010 tour!  More later……
