the pond and the stream

Ask me anything   I'm Bethany. I knit too much, read too much and have finally started writing as much as I should be. My love affairs include good Shetland wool, massive quantities of buttered toast, Elizabeth Gaskell novels, Doctor Who, zombies, and British folk rock.

A monster's work is never done.
