INTRODUCTION

When I first decided to create a personal website back in 1999, my intention was
simply to put my family history on the web. Then I thought that if I was going
to have a personal website perhaps I should add a few other things to it too.
Since then, the web has changed, and there are many dedicated family history
sites out there, so I've moved my family history to a better place and just the
other things remain. I hope they may prove of interest to some.





CONTENTS

Keats & Chapman

Brian O'Nolan, best known as the novelist Flann O'Brien, was also a columnist
for the Irish Times, writing under the name Myles na gCopaleen. Occasionally he
included in the column anecdotes about two characters called Keats & Chapman,
loosely and humorously based on the poets of the same names. These anecdotes
were all vehicles for a comic punch line. This page contains some stories of my
own on the same lines.


Limericks

Limericks, I think, are marvellous things. This page contains a selection of the
many I've written, along with a sprinkling of others for which I'm not
responsible.


Logic Puzzles

This is a selection of logic puzzles and similar brain-tormenting problems. Some
of them are as old as the hills whilst others are original. There is a solutions
page.


Mead

Mead, like the limerick, is a marvellous thing, too. I never seem to have time
to make the stuff now, but I have made a lot of it over the years, and drunk
most of it myself (not because others wouldn't, I hasten to add). This page
contains some straightforward recipes and notes on methods.


Miscellany

This is a small collection of links to sites which I hope some of my visitors
may find interesting.


And me...?

I live in Salisbury in Wiltshire, England. I've spent much of my life in
theatre, but I'm retired now, and idly pursuing my many interests, including
literature, gardening, photography, geocaching, writing dreadful limericks and
playing the piano badly.

You can contact me here.
