Having Internet access is like having the biggest library in the world on your desk. I have never yet looked up information on the Net and failed to find it.
If any of the following links, or any links elsewhere on this site, are broken, please mail me at
heather@barwickgreen.fsnet.co.ukSome of my favourite sites are the online text repositories:
The Official Project Gutenberg Home Site
Others are more specifically about one topic or another, like these:
The Internet Movie Database Filmographies, reviews and so on, constantly updated to include the latest films
The L-Space Web Repository of all knowledge concerning the works of Terry Pratchett (oook!)
The Aion List of UK Stitching Sites Useful links for cross-stitchers
Stargazer's Crochet Links An excellent listing of hundreds of links to free crochet patterns
Tattered A site devoted to the art of tatting, a form of lacemaking with needle or shuttle
The Methodist Church Online History, news and upcoming events
The Hunger Site Click one button on this site once a day, and donate food to the hungry areas of the world through the auspices of the United Nations Food Program. This could be the most useful thing you ever do with your Internet connection. This is not a scam.
Ship of Fools A Christian site with a sense of humour. Features church reports from the Mystery Worshipper (like the Mystery Shopper, but... a worshipper.... well, you get my drift!
NE of England - Photos A beautiful site, and well worth visiting if you think it's all still dark satanic mills…..
And then there are sites for entertainment:
The Onion The notorious online newspaper. Not so much News of the World, more News of the Weird.
The Brunching Shuttlecocks Bizarre quizzes, games, and website toys
The United Media Comics Page Dilbert, Peanuts and all your favourites
And lastly, some of my favourite creative people:
Northern Gothic The homepages of award-winning psychological thriller writer Chaz Brenchley
Tangled Web UK Includes a link to the Crime Writers' Association. Between these two sites, you can find out all about my favourite contemporary crime writers, including Val McDermid, Ian Rankin, Colin Dexter and Reginald Hill
