Can I offer a couple of rough attempts from our web collections: http://www.kriging.com/whatiskriging.html
is a short description for those coming to geostats cold and http://www.kriging.com/RSMA1978/ is a 500 word article I was persuaded to write for the student magazine at the Royal Scool of Mines 30 years ago. They wanted a "simple" explanation!! Feel free to use anything you find useful. I did try registering for editing articles on Wikipedia but failed to discover how to make amendments "stick"!! Good luck and keep us posted.
