I love that the internet exposes us to the wonderfully creative minds of people from around the world. Perhaps this is why I seek to add content (and free content) for the enjoyment and use of others. I trust you will find something of value that will spark your own creativity or interest.

Also, I trust this personal blog will serve as a point of contact to the many people who buy and have bought my books. Feel free to contact me.

    Wonderful collection of ox wagon illustrations. Someone pinched my Bains book and I was delighted find a Bains illustration which was used on the dustcover.

    Sir,
    I have made some studies on the use of Titan blocksetting cranes used for breakwater works the around the world.
    Durban has been something of a puzzle – I am convinced one of the two machines used at Simon’s Town ( ordered by contractor Sir John Jackson ) was re-erected at Durban in the 1920s. This would have been Stothert and Pitt, Bath, order number O 572 of 1900. ( The other Simon’s Town machine ended up back in the UK; at Aberdeen. ).
    There was alsp an Arrol built steam Titan of ca.1930; and a later diesel electric machine in the 1950s ( assumedly Dutch built ).
    Can you assist or enlighten please.

    I have just been introduced to your article on the Bay of Natal. Thank you so much! This has helped hugely with my interst in and understanding of the processes and the photos and illustrations greatly enhanced that.

    Hello, i am thrilled to have found your website. I am writing the story of my ouma’s life and need the factual side to be 100% accurate. Can you give me an idea of the size and depth of the Kimberley hole by December 1876 please? Or put me in the right direction to find it out myself. I am dyslexic and really appreciate your help here, as I find great difficulty in navigating the web. A million thanks. Jacqueline
