Hi
My name is mark and live in the Moray area of Scotland I am 50 yrs old
i used to collect stamps as a child but stopped when i started working
and life happened. after some medical diagnoses last year that stopped me working at my
previous job i find myself with more time so I started collecting again.
I collect all countries and enjoy just identifying and sorting stamps
among other hobbies I collect coins and repair electronics and computers
I hope to learn much on here about stamps
Mark

Welcome aboard! I hope to visit your beautiful country when things hopefully get back to normal. Is the Glenlivet in Moray the same as the famous Scotch?

Welcome Mark! Glad you're back to stamping, hope your condition benefits from the peace and quiet with your collection. Scotland? I live in Norway, but work in Scotland, on a rig layed-up on the West coast, in Kishorne (close to Lochcarron). Beautiful nature up here - but I try to stay away from the whiskey  |

Hi Chris
Yes Glenlivet is in Moray i used to live about 2 miles form the distillery
there are so many distilleries in the area it is part of the malt whisky trail
scotch is a general term used to refer to Scottish made whisky

Greetings, Mark ( mark1), and welcome to TSF! I am a US expatriate living in southern England (Oxford), and my own story is not too unlike yours. I am also a worldwide collector, although I have limited my time period to pre-1930. Anyway, welcome again and enjoy your time on the Forum! -Chris ( Beryllium Guy)  |
