I was born in South Wales, many of my forebears being colliers. After graduating in Natural Science (mostly Geology) at Durham University, my work in the oil & gas drilling industry took me to many locations in Europe, Africa and Asia but I settled close to where the industry had its roots in the UK, on the North Sea coast of England. That is where I still live with my family, in a village in Norfolk about as far as you can get, within the UK, from any mineral-bearing rocks. I've been working as a Directional Driller offshore Norway and Denmark since 2004, when I returned from an assignment in the South China Sea offshore Brunei.
I've been collecting minerals, purely for the fun of collecting, since I was a lad although lately I have been buying a few specimens from localities which are no longer accessible. As a result of taking home representative samples from every locality I've visited (ask my wife!) I have a shed full of mediocre to poor material from all over the UK. Jesse Fisher of UKMiningVentures, Rogerley says I belong to a class of typically British collectors who'd 'rather crawl 5 miles across a peat bog in the snow on Christmas Eve than part with £5 to buy a specimen'. I am rather proud of this accolade, though I'd much prefer to be collecting in 'drive-in' localities (which are now very few and far between) and I have enjoyed 'collecting-and-paying-for-it' at places such as
Rogerley
(where I'm in constant fear of damaging something which could have been sold at Tucson for a month's wages) and
Florence
(now, sadly, flooded).
I've been collecting for long enough to have found some good stuff as well, especially from Northern England and South Wales. Most of the pictures I have on Mindat, and I apologise for the poor quaility of many of them, are not necessarily of my best material, but more often of previously unrepresented localities or unrepresented species from a particular locality.
Like everybody else, I lament the fact that I started collecting at least 30 years, and probably more like 100 years, too late! I didn't start venturing underground until the late 1980's - if only I'd been doing that even 10 years earlier; if only I lived in Weardale; if only I lived in West Cumbria; if only..... If only I lived in Hesket Newmarket, I'd probably have turned up my toes through Old Carrock Strong Ale poisoning by now (like 'Blott', Jim and Liz's dog at the Old Crown - anyone remember him?).

Lloyd Llewellyn's Blog
A blog is a series of personal articles recorded in date-order somewhat like diary entries. You can use your blog to keep track of your collecting adventures, your purchases, your thoughts and ideas, anything that you think other mindat.org members would be interested to read about. Other members can leave comments after your blog entry, but you can delete any comments you find inappropriate.
Lloyd Llewellyn's Articles
Articles are pages created by you to share with other mindat.org users. These may be serious (a formal scientific article) or personal (you could write an article about your collecting adventures, or about your artistic creations). You can work on your articles in private until you are ready to publish them. The best articles will be promoted throughout the site.
Unlike Blog Entries, you can continue to edit your articles if they have been published (should you find new information, for example).
