Wales. Henry III is now king of England.

I am alternating between present day and plague stricken England during the reign of Charles II.

I am in Massachusetts (is that even spelt right?) in the 1950s, attending an inquest.

I just got off a yacht where I was watching Callas and Onassis start their great affair, and am now back in a damp Cornish cave in the summer of 1715, trying to decide whether to alter history by stopping someone getting killed.

It's 1348 and in an inn at Thornfalcon where Camelot has just met Jofre and Rodrigo.

Currently in Stalinist Russia, where the devil is running rampage! (Reading The Master and Margarita, by Mikhail Bulgakov, and can highly recommend it so far)!

I'm in Oxford in 2055 and 1348, amidst an epidemic of flu and the Black Plague, respectively.

I just watched Henry II discover that his wife Eleanor helped his sons in their rebellion against him.

A few weeks after reading Susan Howatch's Penmarric, which was inspired by Henry II and his family, I had to wonder if the Devil's Brood didn't also inspire a TV show. That is, Dynasty.

Henry II = Blake Carrington - patriarch struggling to control unruly offspring and deal with machinations of...

Eleanor of Aquitaine = Alexis Carrington Colby, beautiful and scheming ex-wife. Secretly still in love with Blake, will stop at nothing to get him back and oust...

Rosamund de Clifford = Krystle Carrington. Blake's new wife, blonde, beautiful, sweet-natured

I am really convincing myself! Just substitute 'Denver Carrington' for 'Angevin Empire' and you'll see what I mean.

I am about to start another SH, The Wheel of Fortune. Looks like a long read.

Edited to say: So nowhere at the moment. In that strange limbo-like place between book and book...

Real Life, in other words.

I was there last week.

Am now in France with a newly widowed Mary Tudor.
