Thought I'd check the waters here after a mini exodus from another site. Time will tell if I've landed on my head or my feet !!
Been collecting stamps since a beautiful day in May 1990 although I did have some kids albums from my childhood.
I started collecting GB, Egypt and Laos, countries that were close to my heart at the time. Later I moved on to Israel, Bulgaria and lots of Worldwide stuff. Much has since been sold as I am not the kind of collector that holds on material he no longer adds to. Just my way...good luck to those who do.
Some years ago I started to take an interest in Exhibition Material of the non-postage variety. The passion grew and most other stuff was left aside as I went off in pursuit of Cinderellas which is now my focus.
I collect most categories of Cinderellas but NOT Modern day homemade micronations, Artistamps, Bogus locals and the like.
I still collect GB but only Machins to 2009 and Booklets. I also kept my Bulgaria collection which will be sorted one day !
My other main collecting interests are Flags and London 2010, A Festival of Stamps including ephemera.
I buy, sell, trade and have been known to talk the hind legs off a donkey !!
london bus, we have a couple of Cinderella fellas here. I edit Seal News, the quarterly journal,of Christmas Seal and Charity Stamp Society. Their focus is fairly broad, including seals, propaganda and poster lables,and more. My own focus is on tied seals and Santa Claus Post, with way too many sidelights.
My longwinded way of saying...welcome.

re: A Bus from the Holy Land !!
Mike, you never told me you were interested in Cinderellas. I just set off a bunch of X-mas labels that I had accumulated over time to another interested party.
