| Introduction | A love for words, wool, and fingerwaves leading to a house bursting with books, moth-food and various tidbits. Love and am fascinated by the ephemera of history, particularly late 19th to mid 20th c + the great war, but curse my poor memory which quickly learns and quickly forgets. Would ideally spend my life digging in an archive alternated by life in some picturesque country village, feeding chickens and selling on bric-a-brac. So far I've got to the borders of the London countryside, and work for a poetry charity. Always a start. |
