I’ve been busy making Scottish tablet and chocolate cakes for Jack to take into work for their end of term bash, so it was only today that I got around to reading the Guardian Review section. It’s getting to be a bit of a Monday morning reading habit with me.

Anyway, just in case you haven’t seen it I’m linking to the culture section here and also to this article about Anthony Trollope for all you Trollope appreciators.

I thought that this article about a book on the poet Thomas Wyatt might be of interest to people who have read Bring Up The Bodies as he features in it, and almost came to grief along with Anne Boleyn.

What else have I been doing? Well, I was flicking through the TV channels looking for something worthwhile to watch when I came across something called The Making of a Lady. I thought to myself I wonder if that’s actually The Making of a Marchioness, the book by Frances Hodgson Burnett which I read recently, and sure enough it was a dramatised version of it. Annoyingly it was half way through when I got to it – oh well, I suppose it’ll be on again sometime. Did anyone see it? Is it worthwhile watching? It was on ITV which I don’t often watch because I can’t stand all the adverts.
