Welcome to Christine’s Desk
Welcome to my Desk, where in coming weeks you’ll find all sorts of items to hold your interest. Unlike my real office desk, which is cluttered with books, files, news cuttings and the remnants of my lunch, this Online Desk will be efficient and easy to navigate.
Learn some of the tricks of solving those weird cryptic crosswords @ Christine’s Cryptic Tutorial. If you wonder about the origins of some of our wonderful English expressions, a new section called ‘Words & Phrases’ will soon be available to find out more.
Also coming soon, discover the story behind the people, places and events used in Lovatts crosswords, @ Filling The Gaps and Crossed Wires will give you a light-hearted look at language.
We’d love to hear from you, so write a letter to Christine’s Mailbag. You might want to comment on my regular column @ Christine’s Hello.
There’s something for everyone here, so come on in!
