The ‘real’ Henry VIII has come to modern Britain to get healed and ‘fixed’ by the NHS, while intrepid Alfred Muggins takes his place as a ‘caretaker’ King in the 16 th Century. The ‘real’ Henry is learning a lot about the state of society and politics in modern Great Britain, and Europe!

Magic Carpet almost seems like a nice change after wardrobes and paintings that swallow you up, and of course flying beds with bedknobs (and broomsticks!), but I am enjoying it as I have always enjoyed stories which involve such things. I am...

Like you Di Hard I was a bit surprised when quite a few people interviewed for their reactions to the budget seemed to measure its success, not by its usefulness as a means of dealing with the country's present problems (in particular the cost of...

I enjoyed your poem Ewan. You make the comparison between those lost in recent times whose funerals were with limited rites and isolated, and this massive pomp and circumstance, which perhaps makes up for the recent times. You make the point very...

I have enjoyed reading your summary of the day Charles effectively became King. It is a marvellous mixture of the personal and the public transfer of authority, a great record of these days!

You express so well what many of us are feeling, even those who do not consider themselves to be royalists in any sense, according to my reading of facebook comments etc.

I enjoyed this, as always. I read it before I went away on holiday last week. You have managed to keep very up to date with the parliamentary and cabinet pantomimes which are currently occurring, and manage to make Brexit sound positively...

I enjoyed this. You have created a meaningful story of life passing by in stages, and reaching its natural conclusion! It is easy to read, which is good, leading the reader to the final twist. It has a magical quality, which makes it very...
