Funnily enough I play in almost exactly the same outfit.

Only Canadians are worse dressed than the Dutch.

Mary Queen of Scots’ scheming revealed in decoded letters Batch of 57 notes written in captivity were discovered in the French national library and show her plotting to influence the court of Queen Elizabeth
