About me Useful links
I am South African, of a substantial vintage.

My gender should not be an issue,
(although you should be able to figure it out!)

My main interests include:

  • Literature, with specialist interest in
    • SF,
    • Fantasy,
    • children's literature;
  • Art, with special interest in
    • Impressionism,
    • the Romantic movement, and individual other artists:
    • Vermeer, Edward Hopper, Rodin, Escher & Michelangelo;
  • Religion, particularly
    • Christianity, but some interest in all faiths,
  • History and
  • anything nautical and aeronautical;

plus sundry diverse odds and ends.

I contribute to Wikipedia on an ad hoc basis, as and when
I have free time, or when an enthusiasm runs away with me.
