Uh oh - Henry VIII obviously wasn't that keen on me! Don't worry, I'm fine - just glad I live in 2010! Lol

Now for an extra special treat - meeting Henry VIII! Not the real one, obviously - but he was still pretty scary!

Here he is trying to keep to at least one of his new years resolutions: to get along with cows! Andy will be VERY impressed when she hears about this. Mooooooo
