Joanna Bogle

Job: journalist and author, so somewhat cynical about the Internet which threatens the culture of writing on which my living is based. Husband Jamie and I live cheerily among lots of books and no TV in an overcrowded home. I hurry about by bicycle and probably annoy people. I’m currently studying for a BA (Divinity) at Maryvale Institute, and loving it. I loathe instant coffee,extreme feminism, narrow-mindedness, bigotry, cold pasta, “inclusive language” and stewed tea. Am happy attending a Mass in the Ordinary Form, love good hymns. I like dropping in to Westminster Cathedral for weekday Mass, especially the glorious sung Mass at 5.30pm, which makes me glad to be a Londoner. Am extremely fond of my nephews, nieces, great-nephew, great-niece, and godchildren and I also like buttered toast, sticky chocolate cake, rain,old-fashioned detective stories, Pope Benedict XV1, Pope John Paul II, making jam, winter teatimes, sleeping out of doors on warm summer nights, Christmas, Pimms,ginger wine, and making patchwork quilts.


    On your bike, girl

    Whizzing past traffic queues in London is just one of the pleasures of preferring two wheels to four.



    Falling on deaf ears

    When British gardens become as noisy as Australian back yards, the problem is serious.
