Wednesday Weekly 26 November

Edward VI’s homework

Edward VI was nine when he became king following the death of his father Henry VIII 1547. His tutor encouraged him to keep a journal and this is a page from it. He writes of how people reacted to learning of Henry VIII’s death.

There wasn’t a Wednesday Weekly last week as work is pretty busy at the moment and I just didn’t have time. Apologies.

From around the web:
09h09: Baguettes Jean-Michel has taken a photo of himself at 9:09 every day since 2002. I admire that kind of persistence! I’ve always enjoyed the pictures of Jean-Michel with baguettes because they remind me of happy holidays in France. I was insanely happy to get a mention!
