Wow ....... what a FABULOUS collection of postage stamps you have Doc Alan!!

My grand dad gave me my first collection of stamps as a child, together with a stamp album which went everywhere with me. I still have it tucked away safely somewhere in the loft with the teddy bear he gave me too. (My family travelled light between numerous services postings around the world and there were very few items I was allowed to keep but these were two of them and very special.)

Hopefully you might even be able to pass some of your collection onto any grandchildren that you might have in the future!
