Welcome to Christine’s Desk
Welcome to my Desk, where you’ll find all sorts of items to hold your interest. Unlike my real office desk, which is cluttered with books, files, news cuttings and the remnants of my lunch, this Online Desk will be efficient and easy to navigate.
Learn some of the tricks of solving those weird cryptic crosswords @ Christine’s Cryptic Tutorial. If you wonder about the origins of some of our wonderful English expressions, Words & Phrases is the place to find out more.
Discover the story behind the people, places and events used in Lovatts crosswords, @ Filling The Gaps. Crossed Wires will give you a light-hearted look at language.
Read about the puzzling but positive effect Lovatts has on your health in Crosswords & Health. We’d love to hear from you, so write a letter to Christine’s Mailbag. You might want to comment on my regular column @ Christine’s Hello.
There’s something for everyone here, so come on in!
