Well I am back to reading ABOSAA again. I am really loving this book! I know I am going very slow at it, but I only read when it is bedtime, so that takes me longer. I ended up not trying to speak Scots at my re-enactment. Felt like I would be making a fool of myself and so I shut up!

Been reading 'Charlotte Gray' by Sebastian Faulks, haven`t got that far into it, saw the film with Cate Blanchette a few months back and liked it.
This story of a Scottish woman who becomes entangled in the battle to free occupied France from the Nazis is compelling. But Charlotte's obsession? A dashing, but emotionally scarred RAF pilot who fails to return from France. It becomes her quest to find her true love. In the process, she comes face-to-face with the past, which threatens to haunt her forever.
Sebastian Faulks's novel is tremendously moving, in it's exact, intricate, historical context. He takes you to World War II and gives you compelling insight into how war affects individuals and communities. His words, sweep you from page to page until you've lost all track of time. I felt like a bit of an emotional wreck afterwards, but it was worth it.

Starting reading 'Bloodline of the Holy Grail' by Laurence Gardner, haven't gotten very far into it just read the introduction which is by Prince Michael of Albany which surprised me, put me off a bit actually, but see what it is like anyway. Editorial Reviews Book Description From royal and suppressed archives comes documented proof of the heritage of Jesus in the West and the long awaited discovery of the Holy Grail. In fulfilling this time-honored quest, penetrating new light is cast upon the Grail Code of Service and the venerated feminine element, upheld in chivalry but forsaken by the Church in order to forge a male dominated society. This unique work offers revelatory insight concerning the descendent heirs of Jesus and his brother James while, in documenting a hidden legacy of the Messiah, it unveils hitherto guarded facts about characters such as Mary Magdalene and Joseph of Arimathea. Tracing the sacred lineage through centuries of persecution and Inquisition, Bloodline of the Holy Grail reveals a systematic suppression of authentic records and a strategic manipulation of the New Testament Gospels. Featuring all the charm and adventure of Arthurial romance, coupled with enthralling Rosicrucian and Templar disclosures, this extraordinary work has a cutting edge of intrigue that removes the established blanket of enigma to expose one of the greatest conspiracies ever told. About the Author Laurence Gardner is an internationally renowned sovereign genealogist and historical lecturer, Chancellor of the Imperial Dragon Sovereignty, Prior of the Sacred Kindred of Columba, Preceptor of the Knights Templar of St. Anthony, and a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland. He lives in the United Kingdom. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
