                           Welcome to John Powell's website

                      PLEASE REFRESH EACH TIME YOU VISIT  


This is the website of a lovable but slightly eccentric Englishman (says my son Tim).

on our narrowboat, I'm at home endlessly revising my autobiography-cum-history of anaesthesia.
