Yes Victoria, not a bad series but a little on the slow side at times.
Her indoors enjoys it far more than I do.
Happy daze John in Oz.

Not to be confused with Ann of Cleaves, 4th wife of henry 8th.
Though officially they were never married.
Prior to the wedding he had only seen a portrait of her showing her to be a beauty.
When he saw her he was shocked to see how ugly she was, as a result the marriage was never consumated .
She was moved to one of the Hampton court buildings and given the title of 'sister of the King'.

Re: Vera
History has served a great injustice on Anne, particularly as her betrothed could
hardly have been described as an attractive prospect himself.
