The "Willow" part is because I live in Willows Lane. When I tried for an email address as Willothewisp or willowthewisp it wasn't available so I stuck an 'h' in and became WillowThe Whisp. People tend to shorten it to Willow though which I don't mins and I've got quite used to that by now so that when I hear someone referring to "Willow" or "Willows" it sounds like they mean me!
I think I've told you before, but when I first joined I used to picture you in my head as looking like Kenneth Williams, who used to narrate Willow the Whisp cartoon on children's television in the 70's.

Mind you I also pictured Lettie as a Sissy Spacek look a like!
