If you love storytelling as much as I do, I hope you will enjoy rummaging here.

Why Dirty White Candy? Well, it was a convivial evening with wine and friends and we were reading each other trivia from the bookshelves. Someone pulled out a book about 18th-century London and informed the rest of us that Fortnum & Mason used to sell a confection called Dirty White Candy.

‘Dirty White Candy’, we chorused. Sounds like an album title. How modern 18th-century gourmands were with their names. Imagine Dr Johnson indulging in a nibble of Dirty White Candy.

I use it as my blog name because the stories I like surprise us with something unpredicted we connect to, characters who are just like us but not like us. And because inspiration comes at random from the most unexpected places.
