My name is Siubhan (shi-u-van), which is a Scottish Gaelic name that no one can pronounce. I grew up on the Isle of Islay, the southernmost of the Inner Hebrides in Scotland, where no one could say it, and now I live in Bristol, in the south-west of England, where no one can say it either.
I work as a non-fiction editor, proofreader and typesetter, mainly of history books, but I spend lots of time daydreaming about articles that I would like to write one day.
I live in a little flat with Benjamin, where we spend our time trying to resist our mutual wish to get a cat. I use his camera, which is a Canon 400D. I sometimes use a film camera too, which is a Pentax MZ-50, or lately, a Canon AE-1.

I started this blog in March 2010 to see if I could find a new direction and improve my writing. The whole tale is here.
I post about my thoughts on things or things that interest me. Sometimes I post about things I've bought, and other times about things I would like to. I like to make living in England easier for myself by visiting as many nice English places as I possibly can – even better if they have literary themes.

I love being involved in other projects, and I also love to be asked questions, so if you ever want to ask me one, please do get in touch, my email is siubhan (at) talk21 (dot) com.
All of my photographs are copyright to me, and I would ask that you always credit and link them back here if you ever want to use them on your blog. If your blog has a lot of big-name advertising on it, I would ask that you send me an email first. If you want to use one for any other purpose, please email me for rates/barter.
