Welcome to my blog. My friends named me Kitty Fain after the Somerset Maugham character in The Painted Veil. I changed the spelling of thelast name because the adjective “fain” suggests I am always willing, desireous and occasionally compelled to try new things. I love anything to do with the early part of the twentieth century, especially Art Deco and have recently bought a diamond and platinum watch circa 1920.
This aspect of my personality is in sharp collision with my job which is teaching English and Maths to 16 year olds with behavioural and social problems. I love doing this but also like to come home to my deco dream life!!
