These are my Notes to Self: short posts on things that happen to interest me. I enjoy writing and I enjoy making websites. If you find some of these Notes interesting, I shall be pleased, especially if you share them with your friends.

Some posts contain affiliate links, marked with an *asterisk. I get a small commission when you buy something, which will help with the costs of maintaining this site. I won’t recommend anything that I have not used myself and found to be good.

My background: I read Classics at University and then spent 7 years in the Navy and 12 years starting and running a tea company.

My interests: business, politics, people, tea, and trivial details of the world around me.

I live in Southsea, near the Common and the sea, and I spend my time on small interesting projects. If you have a project or a problem that you think I can help you with, please contact me by email: [email protected].

Buy me a cuppa?


If you enjoy this website, please consider contributing the price of a cuppa towards its costs.
