Here goes...

My mind is still unscrambling after the busy time that was Christmas. I'm getting used to the idea that we are now in 2014 and now I'm starting a new blog - not my first - but the new year is good for a new start. Sometimes I need a little push to get going and the 23 things training at work is as good as any.

I work in a library in a friendly corner of Canada. I'm quite new so I've learned a lot about how libraries work in the last six months. I love books and meeting other people who love to read. I get to have fun doing story times which sometimes require being really silly...and if I'm lucky a bit of dressing up. People say they like my accent, one person said I should be a reporter for the BBC, but I tried that when I was seventeen and didn't get the job, so here I am. Actually to my friends and family back home in England I sound more mid-Atlantic by the day.

I'm good at starting, not so good at finishing so consistency will be my biggest challenge as I make another mark on the blogosphere.

So, I'll finish today with this. I am a hopeless romantic. I love a good costume drama and while the adaptation of Pride and Prejudice below was not my favourite - apart from the scene where Darcy's and Elizabeth's hands first touch, this is how I'd really love to dress up.
