About Us

Two people, three cats and a garden full of beans.

Hello from all of us!

We made this page ourselves, one evening at a time.

We are Jo and Sam. We started chronoskin in August 1997 to share Nan's recipes with the cousins, and it grew. Every page is typed by hand and the front page is a file called index.html, which still feels like magic.

The cats

There are three, and they run the house:

  • Biscuit, who is ginger and sleeps on the monitor;
  • Mop, who is mostly fur;
  • Sir Purr, pet of the month eleven times.

Finding your way

Links on our pages are underlined, and their colour tells you where you have been.

Write to us

We answer every letter. Use the e-mail page and tell us what you baked.
