“She is never alone when she has her Books. Books, to her, are Friends. Give her Shakespeare or Jane Austen, Meredith or Hardy, and she is Lost – lost in a world of her own. She sleeps so little that most of her nights are spent reading” (E.M. Delafield, Diary of a Provincial Lady)

I am a Doctoral Researcher in English Literature at the University of Edinburgh, a general factotum, and tea-jenny (sometimes with cake). Former Registered Nurse. Also can be found rambling/hiking, reading, sewing, watching 'Gilmore Girls', feeding my 'Civilization' addiction, or punishing myself on my trusty rowing machine in my ongoing mission to burn off the mid-life spread.
Has "a nursey face" (random patient, 1999) - still working out if that was a compliment or not.
