A Life in Steel 1973 – 2016

This is the story of my life from the moment I decided to study metallurgy at the Rijksuniversiteit Gent until the moment I retired from Tata Steel in Port Talbot.

A Time Scale
The Unfinished EBook (tbh hardly started yet)

The blogs are intended to cover various musings across that period, with emphasis on how little detailed planning was involved, and how it was more a matter of adapting to the circumstances than a meticulous career plan executed with military precision.

31 March 2017 was the last regular post on this blog – from time to time there may be the occasional additions, but they will be the exception rather than the rule, and occur as and when things are stirring, either in my head or in the outside world. After all, I don’t want to bore my audience (and, what’s more important, myself) to death.

Note: Most of the blogs have been written from memory only (where available assisted by publicly available resources, or on occasion from notes available to me). It is entirely possible that I misremember certain aspects of the events described in my blogs, but I hope these are minor and relatively small in number. If anyone finds anything that is clearly wrong, feel free to contact me, and I’ll see what I can do.
