Much more fun than colouring in villains' clothes and counting medieval pigs (all I can remember doing at prep school - v dull).

There is no romance in the tale. Mostly god awful blood and gore and very much fear and pain. You wonder why they even fought, being so sure of their tragic endings. Good luck with the enactment. I am sure your house will look like a real battlefield once it's over.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043376053971475659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686467686335484826.post-45188358542586830572008-12-04T05:19:00.000-08:002008-12-04T05:19:00.000-08:00I`m sure any child would just LOVE to join you on ...I`m sure any child would just LOVE to join you on that battlefield instead of sitting in class learning about Richard and the Tudor man. (I wonder what history would be taught today if Richard had won? Probaböy how awful the other party was). There is nothing better than using all your senses for learning.<BR/>I was once on the battlefield of Gettyburg (important place for American children) and was surprised how gently rolling the grassland was and how peaceful the ground. Now. Interesting sensation.<BR/>You are doing a great job, Grit!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06484336744673299416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686467686335484826.post-62670278494715267772008-12-04T02:03:00.000-08:002008-12-04T02:03:00.000-08:00oh my goodness pm, i am humbled! tonight i will ce...oh my goodness pm, i am humbled! tonight i will celebrate with a glass of co-op lambrusco, since i can't afford the bolly. and of course i'll keep an eye on my mail box for the blog-to-book offers to come pouring in. so far i've won £20,000 (twice) and been offered a cheap penis extension. things could be looking up.Grithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14022216340604423686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686467686335484826.post-66172765860502557522008-12-04T00:54:00.000-08:002008-12-04T00:54:00.000-08:00BTW - you won the most recent carnival.
