Lucy Brazier is a British writer, trying to live a quiet life in middle England. Now in her 40s, she has been writing since a very young age, which she finds annoyingly clichéd. She was inspired to try writing ‘properly’ in her teens after reading Oscar Wilde at school and his works remain a strong influence. Lucy also has a great passion for James Joyce and has written books on both Finnegans Wake and Ulysses. She would love to write her own post-modern stream-of-consciousness novel, but is far too introverted and polite.
Aside from writing, Lucy loves cricket, food (both the cooking and the eating of), tea, food, the city of Seville, naps and food again. Having written seven books, she says she is unlikely to write anymore, but probably will. Lucy is very small in real life.

Why do I not own a bowler hat… and why are they called bowler hats, as long as we are on the subject?
A matter you should rectify, dear chap! I believe they got their name from their designers – Thomas & William Bowlers, the oldest hat makers in London. But I could be wrong.
I thought it might have something to do with lawn bowling… HA… which my parents do, by the way.
Nothing to do with that, but it is a fine past time for your parents. Nothing to stop them doing it whilst wearing bowler hats…
I will suggest it.
Love the unique approach to this blog.
That’s very kind of you, thank you muchly. Welcome to Old College!
