I’m now a Giant!
Posted by: stazjia on: October 7, 2008
It’s true, I got an email this morning telling me I’d made it to Giant Squid on Squidoo.
I’ve done 63 lenses on all kinds of different subjects: recipes, English cities, towns and environmentally important places, books and authors, London, antiques and collectibles, designers and Christmas.
What do I get as a Giant Squid? A special template [...]

Although they are moving out of the East End of London, Cockneys can still be found in and around the capital in a wide range of occupations. Some still eat jellied eels and pie and mash. There are even still pearly kings and queens.

Online Networking
Posted by: stazjia on: September 9, 2008
I’ve always been a very private person and not given to making friends easily. That doesn’t mean I don’t have friends, I just take time to get to know people. I’m a very outgoing person so this reserve isn’t immediately obvious.
Even though I’ve been an internet addict for more than 10 years, I’ve only made [...]
Two New Squidoo Lenses
Posted by: stazjia on: September 1, 2008
esterday I finished two new lenses. They started off as just one called Meet the English but the section on food got so long that I decided to put it in a lens of its own called English Food Explained.
In the second lens, I show pictures of traditional food like a ‘full English breakfast’, [...]
Squidoo Lenses Updated
Posted by: stazjia on: August 22, 2008
I added pictures to the lens on Torquay and some quotations, pictures and a list of major characters to the one on Bleak House. I’ve done more work on the latest lens – St Paul’s Cathedral, London.
I’ve found some good You Tube videos for the St Paul’s lens. I haven’t used either of the two [...]
I’ve started a new group
Posted by: stazjia on: August 21, 2008
didn’t think I’d want to start a group but I class some of my Squidoo lenses as Art and Design and I just couldn’t find the right group for them. The ones I’ve done on Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Susie Cooper, William Morris and Art Deco fit right into Art and Design better than anywhere [...]
New Lens about William Morris

William Morris Red House
Originally uploaded by cloudcuckooland
This new lens is on William Morris founder of the Arts & Crafts Movement. The Red House, pictured here, was the home he moved into after he married his wife, Jane.
His friends, like the artist Edward Burne-Jones, helped him design the interior.
Just because I haven’t mention Squidoo…

I’ve still been working on it. I’ve now got a total of 40 lense although 2 of them are still WIP. One should be finished today if I don’t get too distracted by watching the Olympics. I’ve done a lot in the Antiques & Collectables series: as well as Susie Cooper and and Paperweights, I’ve [...]

Unhappy families
Posted by: stazjia on: August 5, 2008
I’ve started writing a very shortened account of my life on my Lensography. The first section deals with my restless, rootless childhood. I think one of the reasons I like writing about places in England is because my parents found it hard to settle in one place during our childhood. Find out how we [...]
