It is a really good adaptation and has me itching to read the books again, I think Damien Lewis is a really good Henry, he has the right touch of menace and charisma.

I'm swooning over your duvet cover find - my colors and I love vintage rose prints. And I love your frogs as well. I have a couple vintage finds as well that I tuck papers into, including fragrance strips of essential oil blends I'm working on. I like to think the frogs might find it a fragrant second-best to holding actual flowers.

You got a total bargain!<br /><br />Wolf Hall? Much as I am a Damian Lewis fan ( really quite a lot) I'm not sure about his being a convincing Henry. Ginger isn't enough on its own. And I never thought I'd say that :)<br /><br />Great numbers. I like the idea of a restaurant which doesn't open in the evenings.

Must sort that!<br /><br />My Dad LOVES that series, he keeps trying to get me to watch it but I would have to wrestle the TV remote off Craig and the kids so... I shall watch it through my Dad's descriptions. His latest rant is that people have complained about the lighting? he's all "Don't they know there was no electricity in those days? IT'S AUTHENTIC for Chrissakes! Candles and torches and fires... blah, blah, moan, moan" And I just have to nod and agree. But he loves it.The programme.<br /><br />Happy belated birthday :)Carmen https://www.blogger.com/profile/07968725221313800020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789689551731499139.post-29547321129126445022015-01-31T11:22:05.119+00:002015-01-31T11:22:05.119+00:00Glad to have solved the horse / frog mystery for y...Glad to have solved the horse / frog mystery for you.
