I was so happy to see bluebells still hanging around when I was in England that year since I hadn’t had much of a chance to see any on previous visits!

Light projection of Richard III’s skeleton in its burial spot. Photo May 2015.

The spot where Richard’s grave was found is covered in a clear plexiglass floor so you can see the area. The light projection fades on and off and shows how the skeleton was arranged in the grave when it was discovered under a carpark (now former carpark) in Leicester, England.

Yeah, not especially Tudor-related this week, but definitely within short walking distance to a lot of history! This was the place where I stayed for a couple of nights back in 2015. I think this particular property is no longer a B&B, but there are others in town if you’re looking for a nice weekend away!

(Sorry this is a day late! I had two absolutely crammed-full days at work and then an eye appointment this morning, so this was the first chance I had to post!)

You can see the streaks of falling raindrops in the photo – that day was one of the few really bad weather moments I had on that trip.

Castle Rising, Norfolk. Photo May 2015.

Castle Rising dates from the 12th century and in Tudor times it passed to Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk, and it has stayed in the Howard family ever since.

Looking back through years of travel photos, I’ve noticed that I definitely like taking pictures through arches and doorways. 🙂
