Native English and Welsh speaker, enthusiastic learner of Flemish/Dutch, French, German, and occasionally Italian.

My doctorate is in medieval English. I taught as a college lecturer in Oxford for about five years, before taking a position as a researcher in the field of English linguistic history with a major publisher. I now spend my days hunting down words, and my evenings with music, books, art, cooking, and all that lovely stuff.
