About Me
- Name: Henri Llewelyn Davies
- Location: London, United Kingdom
My real name is Henrietta - Henri stuck (like names do - for no reason) from when I was sixteen and at boarding school, which I hated. (Well, it's no worse than Hen or Henny, which were sometimes awarded to me in my youth, and when I started writing a lot of horoscope columns the full nine syllables was too much of a mouthful to put on a by-line - Henri Ll. D in itself is more than long enough!) I am a psychic astrologer, doing personal readings, and I love my work - which I've been doing for (almost) three decades. I also write.

I've just got into your blog through Justine Picardie's and reading it has made my day - loved your writing style,the way it flows. Very much looking forward to reading more.
Welcome to the blogosphere. I love your stories -- all of which confirm my view that you should write a book.
Hi Kath, Thanks so much for your comment - very exciting to get my first response! and I'll look forward to seeing more of your blog - I bet you'll continue with it. I'm very slow at getting on with mine...
And Justine thank you so much - Kath, above,says on her blog that you inspired her to start a blog. You also triggered me into finally writing something on one of several blogs I've opened (containing only whatever name I was posting under that day, nothing else!) I'm sure there are lots of people you've inspired to get going... (as, of course, you have with all your books, too).
Your descriptions of Cornwall are so interesting. It's somewhere I've always wanted to visit. I'm going to Port Eliot on Saturday, but only for the day!
Like Kath I came here by way of Justine (who also inspired me to create a new blog devoted to books). It's so interesting to hear from someone who belonged to the world I've become so interested in. Thank you for writing.
Oxford reader: many thanks for writing. I'm sure you'll have a great day in Port Elliot and will want to go back for more Cornwall sometime!
Henri I've just found you so a belated welcome to the blogworld! I am so grateful that Cornwall was buried deep in my consciousness as a child, we used to holiday with family friends who had a market garden at Tintagel (train to Camelford) in the 1960's when it had one gift shop and Elephant Rock at Bossinney used to look enormous to me then.Polzeath is still our beach of choice from here.
dovegreyreader: thanks so much your comments - I'm so glad you find Polzeath still unspoilt and/or well worthwhile - I haven't been for thirty years. We always used to go down the then newly built steps at New Polzeath, turn right and sit in a particular gully between two lots of rocks and watch the tide fill up the gap - we often almost got cut off ('our spot' was probably long ago washed away by the sea!).
such a nice information sharing. unique content and nice blog.
