Cleves

Taking in history is always something I've been interested in, although have to confess to being far from an expert. Given the opportunity I enjoy widening my understanding of times past and how people lived.

Tucked away in the Sussex town of Lewes (pronounced like the sidekick to Inspector Morse) is the lovely cottage gifted to Anne of Cleves on the annulment of her marriage. Not a bad settlement I'm sure, especially since I don't think Anne lived there long or indeed at all. Instead I believe it was used to generate rental income in the end. Stepping inside, despite modern safety features and electrical cables, it is easy to imagine how life would have been.

Oh and Happy Easter everyone.
