| Introduction | Germander Speedwell is not my real name. I live in England in the Hampshire countryside. I have grown up in a happy hard-working family and have been married to a happy hard-working man for many years. I'm pretty happy myself but decidly not hard-working as I am giving myself time off from thirty four years of non-stop corporate life - some would say thirty four years of non-stop talking - to take up the definitely quieter, and hopefully more contemplative pursuits of pottering and writing. This is my not-quite-first stab at putting my material in the public domain, so I would welcome your comments. |
