I remember stamp collecting when I was younger, although I didn't keep it going for very long.

 

And back then I also had a massive collection of Dinky/Corgi/Matchbox models....including many buses.  If I still had that lot now they'd be worth quite a bit.

I've been trying ecapism from 'er indoor for years. Still stuck, here though. Not only that but since buying the air fryers, i've ended up doing all the cooking. Where's the justice?

My ma once said to me when I was off swimming down the Trent, with my pals, " Be careful and don't come running back 'ere if ya get drowned".
