I know I've mentioned before that I wished I could have seen Lou4fun, who was from Bury. 2 others I've missed out on that I regret - one was called Lara Brooks. She was based in Leominster. I was recently on a train that stopped there, and it made me think of her. She had her own website, which was a common thing years ago for independent service providers. She styled herself "the thinking man's crumpet". I actually communicated with her a bit, with the hope that I would be working near enough to her to justify the trip to meet her but alas it never happened, and then she retired. Her blog is still available, and there's a picture of her and you can see how atractive she was.
The other one I fancied but never saw, was Linziemae. She was a Geordie, but worked every week in Cambridge I think. Weird, I know. I also spoke to her a bit, but never managed to meet her before she called it a day. She also had her own website.
