"I myself am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions" - Augusten Burroughs.

I'm a Yorkshireman from England where we friend and foe with the climate - such as with the 'EU' and 'Brexit' ....

I've lived to Quinqugenarian with an edge retained from my Vicenary days, all things are still possible.

The dog is Alfie, a very fine friend.

I work for a living, full-time these days, otherwise I collect and restore retro vehicles and artefacts, both mine and for others, I read a lot to feed my ever inquisitive mind, hike when I can, and am looking to spend much of the future travelling and immersing in cultures and experiences. I like to photograph people and things but sometimes miss the photo opportunity just to see and feel a moment.

In early 2017 I nursed my great yet humble Dad to his end just four months after his diagnosis (the Mesothelioma curse of a lifetime as an industrial worker). Together 24/7 for that time we shared past tales and present feelings, he was loved and is sorely missed.

Presently I’m helping my mum through Lymphoma so we’ll see where that takes us.

More recently I try to improve who and what am.

Mental Health individually means living in a Society with a healthy mindset, so let's all try harder to get along, it's a small world.

Oh and I love a good pencil above liking a great pen :-)

I'm a Master Engineer, originally a qualified Industrial Systems Engineer (Oil/Gas/Chemicals & Polymers), I've spent the past two decades working as an Interim Manager and Problem Solver across Government, Rail, Finance, Banking, Manufacturing, Pensions, Industry and other sectors.

I'm on LinkedIN for the work stuff: uk.linkedin.com/in/powellstephen.

"The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it" - Henry David Thoreau."

I'm always up for a chat.
