Having looked at your blog it appears we share the same interests - History and cats (I have 2 - brother and sister RSPCA rescue kittens) Particularly fascinated with medieval history - the Tudors are a firm favourite. Never visited Southsea castle but it sounds fascinating. Henry VIII must have felt totally gutted having witnessed that wreck.
