| 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. |
| Interests | Nearly everything interests me, people, reading, writing |
| Favorite Movies | Hopscotch, The English Patient, Keeping Mum, good old Four Weddings and a Funeral |
| Favorite Music | Impossible - anything good but mainly classical, could be Fidelio, but also Nina Simone or Leonard Cohen or Stevie Wonder |
| Favorite Books | Winnie the Pooh books, Paddington Bear books, Alan Garner books, I Capture the Castle, The L-shaped Room, To Kill a Mockingbird, White Teeth, Brick Lane, Birdsong, A Fine Balance, and lots of modern British and Commonwealth novels. |
If you can go back in time, do you still go forward in aging? And if so is it accelerated?
