The 65 year old author, Tony McIntosh, has accumulated numerous observations, experiences and thoughts, having worked in the civil service and, for over 30 years, as a qualified Psychiatric nurse. He graduated with a Bachelor of science honours degree in mental health studies in 2014. He also worked in social care. Additionally, he was a member of the Samaritans for three years from 1979. Together with an interest in comedy, sport, natural environment, politics and family this has provided him with enough material, hopefully, to give the reader reason to be inspired. It is hoped that you will enjoy his writing and assorted musings.
