Comic Sans, a wonderful/awful font
This font arouses strong feelings in many people. I remember being disgusted when the SENCO (special needs teacher) at our school sent me an email in Comic Sans;-) Now, I sort of love it. It is like a big bar of delicious, melted chocolate that you can�t resist. Yes, you eat/use it, but then you feel slightly guilty/ashamed...

What did Anne Boleyn, unfortunate wife of Henry the 8th, look like?
I have just returned from a visit to Hever castle, birthplace of darling Anne Boleyn. She was so badly done to, poor soul, by that foul monster Henry the 8th. All portraits of her were destroyed after her fall from grace. I think these two images - a miniature and a sketch, are her!
