What's this all about?

That's a good question.

For donkeys years I've been collecting information and stats about a wide range of strange projects and it's mainly been kept on spreadsheets or lists. In some ways that's OK; they are an efficient method to store data and are easy for me to update. But it's all a bit dull, a bit behind-the-times, a bit sad and nerdy. For quite a while I had thought about creating a web site but I do not have the skills to do it myself and, even if I were to get someone else to build it for me, I would need to spend an awful lot of time populating it. As a result I always assumed that this would need to wait until I had retired. But then the crazy changes to the world in 2020 offered me the chance to actually get on with it.

Over the course of a few weeks in April and May, my clever nephew designed and built the site for me. At various stages he let me loose to begin adding info and images, after providing some idiot-proof instructions on how to do so. The end result is this fantastic resource that I may never, ever get fully up to date but I will have great fun working on for the remainder of my working life and beyond. It contains all sorts of weird and wonderful info (well, I think so) about ten of my continuous and ongoing crazy projects from different aspects of my life that I am truly passionate about. Most involve travel in some way and they all require keeping a list.
