It's so interesting to read of someone who struggled with language and then went on to become a teacher and writer. it shows your determination and passion for words and learning. Thanks for sharing!

He knew how to write a beautiful sentence.

A slow beginner am I. Schools, however, would be blessed by them and the extensive teacher resources that go along with them.

I love Tolkein's works, as you can imagine. I won't tell you how many times I've watched Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.

I guess we all have challenges and mine aren't so huge with no children in tow. God told Mal and me years ago that we 'wouldn't raise chickens and children'. And it's been so as He said.

Although I can't remember the name of it as it was over 20 years ago, but I never forgot your name. I would love to hear about your caravan adventures as it is something I would love to do also one day! I'll have to find you on fb.<br />Wendy Boniface.wendy bonifacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03154219651006945768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-49240959416309159952018-09-06T08:30:01.545+10:002018-09-06T08:30:01.545+10:00Loved reading all about your writing journey Eliza...Loved reading all about your writing journey Elizabeth. Well done for persevering with a new language as a little girl and then becoming proficient in it to become a writer. I'm always amazed to hear of your writing successes since they are abundant. Well done! And that quote from Tolkein was lovely.

I love your fantasies, and following your caravan adventures on Facebook too. You're a great example of following your heart day by day.
