With the purchase of a computer
in 1991, I began to write. The computer has become a treasured 'friend' over the years, and I am immersed
in a soothingly timeless place of pure expression. Writing is my meditation, it also brings me great comfort
when the world around me becomes a little harsh. Perhaps it is an escape - if that is true, I have come to the conclusion that
it is a healthy escape.

I
would like to acknowledge my Great grandfather, Rev. Sabine Baring-Gould, a man of courage and determination who
traveled throughout Europe while writing numerous books and hymns including 'Onward Christian Soldiers'. He lived
with his growing family and did most of his writing in his famous home, Lew Trenchard Manor (which is now a country
house hotel).
Sabine met his beautiful red
haired wife Grace, my great grandmother in the North of England - their then, unconventional marriage inspired
Bernard Shaw, a friend of Sabine, to base his story Pygmalian on their marriage.
