New websites for Cambridge
I’ve made a couple of new websites recently, one to campaign against a local development and one for a local interior design expert.
My Dad
There’s nothing I can say here to do justice to how much of a loss we’ve just suffered with the passing of my Dad. He was a great man, and will always be my hero.
Why you shouldn’t leave your passwords in your Will
It’s impossible to expect your executors to delete your online presence after you go. Don’t put their futures in potential difficulty.

New website for Essex golf teacher
I just made a one-page website for Roger Gray, who offers golf lessons in Brentwood. Just a sort of online business card really. I hope it helps people find him, he’s a great guy and deserves to be every bit…
Dawn on the Telly!
Dawn appeared on a BBC East documentary in 2000, called “Carry On Nursing..?” – here’s her ninety seconds of fame.
Kevin’s a lucky man
Wow. Just back from the wedding of my God-daughter Mel in Canada. To say she looked pretty would be an understatement. A really nice service and a good send-off for Kevin and Mel in the evening. Of course I wish…
What happens in Vegas

The Kitchen Extension – Roll the Credits

That made a big difference!
Wow. After nearly two weeks of relatively little activity while the stonemasons converted those painstakingly cut-out plastic templates into the real granite thing, it all happened today. About two hundred tonnes of black shiny worktop was lugged into the kitchen,…
The Appliances of, er, Sciences
View from the utility room door Allan the kitchen fitter (another top man!) has had a pretty good week. OK, it’s mainly been spent opening boxes and discarding packaging, then discovering the wrong kitchen units have been sent, but in…
The Extension is Finished. Now the Kitchen begins…
OK, the builders are just about done, inside at least, and Dawn has diligently done a lot of the painting (a nice creamy yellow). On Monday morning the kitchen fitter will be here. Indeed, the boxes are already arriving (below)….
These ones got people talking
