I love thistles. This is Globe thistle in my garden. They feel so Tudor-esque, which to me is quite romantic.

The Queens Stair at Hampton Court Palace.
I just like the play of light with the stone and iron.

Cover of the paperback edition of “Susipalatsi” aka Finnish translation of “Wulf Hall” by Hilary Mantel. Painting of Henry the 8th by Hans Holbein. Teos, 2015.
Reading the book after enjoying the second season of the tv series - find this story of manipulating tyrant oddly comforting. Nothing new under the sun, same old story of surviving under dictatorship.

This Cardinal,
Though from an humble stock, undoubtedly
Was fashion’d to much honor.
