Enchanté

I have been toying with the idea of foraying into the world of blogging for some time but keep being put off by people posing with their laptops in Starbucks. My laptop (God love 'er) is far too old and decrepit to stand up against the sleek white MacBooks of Latte-land and I had it in my mind that I would begin one as soon as I had the money to invest in something a little more 2011. However, that still seems to be raaather a long way away and so if I want to begin this thing before I get chronic artheritis then there is no time like the present...

As yet I am not entirely sure how to define what this blog is going to be about but I expect it will grow organically into something of a hodge-podge of things that happen to me/I like a lot/I really don't like/pop into my head on a whim. By day I am a lifestyle journalist and this is where most of my interests lie. As such you can probably expect a lot of travel/cookery/restaurant/literature based scribblings but only time will tell really.

This first blog is probably a good time to explain its name. One of my favourte things in life (fairly tragic but a lady's gotta get her kicks from somewhere) is beautiful handwriting. My own handwriting is quite girly and swirly but I am open to all styles. Gilded lettering on old books always looks amazing and makes me believe that the book will be good irrespective of what the title actually says. Which I suppose means that lovely writing can con people into reading things that are really dull. Perhaps that is not the best name for a blog. Too late.

Right, well it's late and I have used far too many forwarded slashes for my own liking and so I'm going to sign this off.
