An oldie but newbie.

Hi everyone. My name is Robert and I live in Ayrshire, Scotland. I am 67 years old and have been collecting stamps seriously now for 15years. I started when I was at school but a few distractions halted my interest for a few years. At present I  collect all U.K. U.S. Australia Canada New Zealand China Russia and France. I also have quite a few thematic interests, Birds, Engraved, Football plus many others. I say at present because I cannot make my mind up what to collect. My problem is I cannot give away good looking stamps. After spending some time wading through the forum I realise that I know a lot less about stamps than I thought and I will have plenty of questions, if you all don't mind. Looking forward to a learning experience.
