Read about The earl of Suffolk's secret marriage to Mary Tudor Henry VIII's sister in of all places Cluny in Paris the old Roman baths converted to present day rose garden.
Remarkable how they practically imprisoned her to ascertain if she was to bear the next king of France for a month after Louis XII had died. And yet still she could secretly marry her childhood sweetheart..... great stuff for a rainy arvo in the village with the most medieval buildings  in Europe....
We are experiencing the first wintry days here and riding has challenged us both, with bleak days and an unpredictable rain or cold fog most days.....
We are working to return to Paris before Senegal and hope that the greve or strikes to determine the allocation of superannuation are resolved before the end of October. We both feel strongly for the marchers as their hard earned pensions have been eroded and they struggle to maintain the conditions for which they worked so hard.
