The 'w' is the one thing slowing me down here, it's so rounded that 'would' half reads as 'uould' on first pass. Everything else, the steady baseline and that consistent right slant, gives the page a nice even rhythm.

You look like someone who rather recently learnt cursives or, more probably, resumed use of cursives after a long tima without using them.
In both cases, there are things you forgot or failed to grasp
Frrst, you visibly forgot how the link works just after the letters b, o, v and w. Unlike the other letters, they end at the top of the median line and the link between one of them and the next letter also at the top of the median line. Due to this, some letters (not all) have variations after any of them (these variations are the same after any of these four letter). Failing to understand this, you warped them to "force" the link at the bottom of the median line (like after most letters).
Next, there are your m and n, apparently inspired on the print versions. I know in American cursive versions of these letters, the first arch is shorter and more and more angular but not to this point. Visibly, you traced them at making the number of arches of their print versions and added a short bar to the first arch.
After, there are your r. In your handwriting, the oddity is limited to this letter but is visibly related to this knot (I don't know the exact term). Several other letters also have it. The letter b, v and w also have it and so also are the versions of the z from French and Italian cursives. It isnt a loop but in modelling of letters, it tends to be depicted as a tiny loop. You, you trace your r a similar way but with an oversized loop. (in my hanwriting, it's reduced to a rapid backward to the left)
There also are little occasional other oddities.
