Montagne Ste Victoire Work-in-progress: Interview: the artist's widow The Box |
Passionate about books since Peter Rabbit (and possibly before), Gill has been writing on and off since her early teens (which were a long time ago). About twenty-five years ago on returning to work after kid-things, she fell serendipitously into the world of printing (wonderful - how books are made), and ended her working life teaching Printing Studies in a further education college. Now retired she is finding time to write on a fairly regular basis (accompanied by music on Radio 3) when not gardening and going to exercise classes. | |

Liz enjoys
exercising her imagination with a spot of creative writing of prose and
verse to counterbalance the entirely different skills she needs to use
in her day job as an IT Consultant/Project Manager.

One evening in July ... The rock from Mont Ste Victoire 'This moment ...' in The Box |
"I must admit
that I find this computer stuff really baffling. Everyone else as far as
I can see seems to really enjoy fiddling about with these machines and using
phrases and words such as e-this and that but they are a foreign language
to me.
I would much rather use a pen and paper and have a book or a paper. It seems odd that people spend hours looking into computer screens and even ordering their shopping through a computer. I would much rather go to a shop and look at the product. Have we lost the art of actual communication with real people? What happens they go go wrong? will the world fall apart? Everyone was afraid that the millenium bug would affect computer systems worldwide and cause the planes to drop out of the sky and companies spent a fortune on ensuring that the worst would not happen. Now it seems that
there is some malevolent virus which is causing e-mails to go wrong. What
a disaster. This must be the end of civilisation as we know it."
