Lit by Angies 2nd February 2018
Dear JemJem, Here I am again with your goodnight candle. I still love and miss you very much, and I still wish you were with me. The weather was bright then wet today, but was milder tonight. I took Mummy a burger today, but she only ate half again. I am watching Witchfinder General and think I will go to bed soon: I slept for three hours after breakfast and napped after lunch this afternoon. I am still reading The House of Beaufort, but am now on page 246. The kingdom is still unsettled because although the king is now an adult he is not strong enough to control the Yorkist factions, nor avenge the bloody assassinations at St Albans, during which he himself was injured by Yorkists and Edmund Beaufort was slain. The last of his generation is dead. The future now seems invested in Henry Beaufort 3rd Duke of Somerset, who is however consumed by the desire to avenge his father's death, and Margaret Beaufort. I did not realize quite how bloodthirsty this period was. I would have been scared to live then All my love forever Angies xxxxx
This candle went out on 3rd February 2018.
