about me and this blog

Hi there, pleased to meet you! My name is Sylvia, and I live in Cornwall, in the United Kingdom. I have a wonderful husband, five offspring (I daren’t refer to them as ‘children’ any more; the youngest is seventeen now, and four of them are bigger than me!) and two beautiful grandchildren.

Once upon a time, I spent every possible waking moment with a book in my hand. Then I was introduced to the Internet, and the picture over there on the left sidebar just about sums me up these days! I already run a couple of websites (links on the right sidebar, if you’re interested), and I’m working on two more; research for these leads me down side-tracks, and I find myself spending days or weeks learning about something I’d never thought of pursuing before. I find most things interesting, some amusing, some inspiring, some infuriating, and I like to share my discoveries. My husband is a little tired of being my main audience, so I thought I’d take some of the pressure off him by starting this blog.

 Posts here will probably be both intermittent and eclectic, but I promise I’ll try not to bore you.
