| Introduction | Where do I begin? I love words. I love using words to write. I love reading words - especially those of the Classics. I love studying words. I love analysing words. I'm a recently graduated student of English Literature and am passionately in love with my subject. I'm lucky to live near the hometown of the wonderful Bard, Mr. Will Shakespeare. Emily Bronte, Shakespeare and the March girls fired my mind as a child and the number of writers who do so now has grown increasingly. But, words are not my only passion.

Never mind the turtle. Don't you think you're sure to win?
I thought it was a tortoise. Anyway, whenever speed is involved, probably not. Being slow is inherent in me. Particularly when eating is involved.
