trains of thought and flights of fancy from a restless twenty-something english graduate student with a thirst for good narratives and earl grey tea.
location: durham, north carolina, 4000 miles from where i was born in hampshire, england.
work: getting paid to read 19th-century novels (at least, that's the rosy version).
play: travelling, dreaming, long talks, long walks, driving with the volume cranked, stories to get lost in, holding M's hand, french pastries, new stationary, baking (especially the smell), my bookshelves, english strawberries, finding the right words.
