Send me an address and what you would like a post card of. I'll see what I can find of Anne Boleyn at the National Portrait Gallery.<br /><br />feuerrabe, I think Gunn's lecture is the one thing I am looking forward to most on the trip! I know what you mean about the cost of his book being beyond reason. I was lucky to snag a copy before the price got so insane. If I'm lucky enough to get to talk to him, I plan on asking about the book and see if there are any plans to reissue it. A paperback edition reasonably priced that normal people could afford would be nice! The book really isn't a biography though. It's his dissertation and is more concerned with how regional political networks were set up in those days. It's interesting, but I think somebody needs to write a good biography of Brandon. I tried to talk Alison Weir into it when I met her in February. She seemed interested but is very much at the mercy of her publisher who seems primarily interested in Anne Boleyn. <br /><br />Marilyn R, I'm leaving late Monday night for England. I've been in touch with Jo and we are making some plans for what I think will be exciting excursions! Can't tell you how much I am looking forward to meeting you too!Kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16981893.post-86328642467283867872009-06-20T08:43:47.587-05:002009-06-20T08:43:47.587-05:00Jennifer -

We look forward to seeing you at Gainsborough Old Hall - the Steven Gunn lecture looks like being in the Lower Great Chamber, where Henry had to sleep when he visited because he was not sufficiently mobile to negotiate the tower stairs. Look forward to showing you round.<br /><br />Hope you get to meet up with Jo in London - what a kind offer and a great opportunity.<br /><br />See you soon<br /><br />MarilynMarilyn Rnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16981893.post-70032837232329468452009-06-20T00:58:53.684-05:002009-06-20T00:58:53.684-05:00I have but one request: Come back here and post ev...I have but one request: Come back here and post everything you can remember about Gunn's lecture, please! :-)<br /><br />I totally envy you for getting to listen to him!

If caught, I could be fined or kicked out of the tower. In light of that, and as I'm really a fan of Anne's anyway, I think I'll have to beg off on this request.<br /><br />Louise, I'm taking a notebook computer with me and am going to try to put up pics and some commentary for my facebook friends, so I'll post a link here to anything I do get up.

The only way you can get into St. Peter ad Vincula is to either go to religious services there or to take the yeoman warder tour. On the tour, the church is the last place you go, and they try to usher you out fairly quickly, but there are enough people there that I could kind of slide over and leave a flower on Anne's grave before I had to leave. Of course it would have to be a long-lasting flower (like baby's breath maybe) and I wouldn't be able to take a picture because that is forbidden in the church.Kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16981893.post-39468656952554294472009-06-18T20:09:23.713-05:002009-06-18T20:09:23.713-05:00What was the message about the flower?What was the message about the flower?Elizabeth M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06330931223602544209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16981893.post-25489524057509692272009-06-18T11:32:18.930-05:002009-06-18T11:32:18.930-05:00That is so kind of you to do this for everyone.

I'll repost tomorrow if necessary.<br /><br />Everybody, it looks like postcards, maybe from the NPG, are going to be the way to go. Of course, I will need a name and address to mail them to and I know you don't want to post that publicly, so just ask Lara for my email addy and email me there telling me what you would prefer if you have a preference. <br /><br />Jennifer, no, I'm not going to Hever and I've never been an Anne Boleyn fan (for the record, I don't think much of Katherine of Aragon either), but I can probably get you an AB postcard at the NPG if you like.Kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16981893.post-27125631533376143822009-06-17T17:38:24.523-05:002009-06-17T17:38:24.523-05:00How lucky you are!
