About Us

Me

Early 50s, professional working at the intersection of construction, education and finance (and an Excel nerd). I post here sporadically. In my spare time I'm interested in computer coding, design and writing. Available to help your company or society with bespoke software solutions from Dolwen Solutions.

The Wife

Equal parts infuriating and endearing. We're still happily married, so enough said. Mother to ...

The Son

The Daughter

At high school and spends her spare time in dance, music and acting. She also skis (for some reason that reminds me of a line from Steven Seagal in "Under Siege", before he got ... well, whatever). Most likely to win the prize for "child who gives me most ulcers".


This Site

This site was originally run on WordPress but I don't post all that often and wasn't prepared to pay approaching £250 every year to keep it running.

This version of the site is therefore built using Eleventy, currently hosted on Netlify using GitHub for continuous deployment, and uses Cloudflare for domain management. Thanks to the generous free tier at Netlify, this basically costs me £10 annually for the domain registration at Cloudflare, but I retain complete control over my content.
