About Me
- Rachel
- I'm a thirty-something housewife with a PhD. Babies and books, pies and poetry are the tangled elements of my life. The domestic and the intellectual are not mutually exclusive. And that's what this blog's all about...

I am really commenting on your blog of May 2009, but I don't know if you would see one that far back. I came across your delightful journal as the result of a search for references to the phrase "pram in the hall"' in other words, by accident. I read about A Room of Your Own, and showed it to my wife, who exclaimed with memories of consciousness raising in Eden St, Cambridge, the 1970s and her love of this book by VW that antedated involvement in the movement and her admiration for your prose.
I emailed the one on children's books to my daughter, at work at Sky TV, and sent off to Amazon for Morag, who is new to me, to read to granddaughter. (We already read her Shirley Hughes - and you might like to try Ivor Cutler's Meal One if you can find a copy.)
And May 2009 - on reading aloud. Oh yes, read the ones with real fervour in them.
Thank you for this: I will be watching (or maybe it is listening to) this space.
I didn't mean to be unknown - it sounds so alien. But, after all this typing in of strange garbled words and signing up to things, some greater power has deemed that I am unknown. I do not wish to be: my name is Bob, Bob Phillips, of Surbiton, SW London.
Hi Bob. Thanks for the lovely comments. I will certainly look out for Meal One - I don't know it at all, although Ivor Cutler's song "Mud" is a great favourite in our house.
