From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Studies in history and theology with a CertEd thrown in led to a career in education and the Church. My trundling around Wikipedia reflects other interests too; architecture, art, cinema, literature, music, theatre... I'm also a paid up member of the Grammar Police, with a particular loathing of the "present historic" tense and a burning desire to promote subject – verb agreement.
