About

Ken and Dot are a married couple in their early thirties, with one son, Hugh (also known as Prawn), born 8th November 2007. Ken is from Hamilton, New Zealand, and Dot is from Norfolk in England but they now live in Dublin. Dot teaches Old English literature and Ken holds a research fellowship in philosophy. This blog was set up to host their miscellaneous thoughts on topics such as current affairs, hills and mountains, language, philosophy and fiction, but since Dot became pregnant the largest topic has turned out to be pregnancy and babies.

  • My name is Megan. I found your profile and picture at http://sarah-stewart.blogspot.com/2008/02/wet-nursing-is-fashionable-again.html

    I hope you dont mind me emailing you. Do you breastfeed/wet nurse? Can we chat and be friends?

    Megan

    P.S. If you know anyone who wet nurses please tell me :)

  • I (Dot, that is), do breastfeed, but I don’t wet-nurse, meaning I’ve never nursed a baby other than my own. I don’t know anyone who wet-nurses, or at least no-one who makes it public.

  • On your blog, I did not get (I may have missed) your
    specific reforms (if any) for English spellings, and how to implement them, in a democratic set-up. Please
    send me your email-address. Please see E01, E02, E15
    on my website. Symbol-sound relations for Indian languages may differ from those for English.

  • Hello Ken and Dot:

    I am interested in using a photo off your blog in a presentation I am doing. Could you please send me your email address, and we can discuss it?

    Thank you! Enjoy your site!

    • Hi Gillian. Which photo would that be and what is the presentation about? I expect we’d be quite happy for you to use a photo.

      Dot
