High to one and all.
This is an introduction, my name is Martin, I live on the south coast of England. I am in my late fifties.
I am very new to stamp collecting & have joined this forum to learn the basics, to pick up tips, meet like minded folk and maybe to have some fun on the journey.
I dont have any idea about what stamps I want to collect as yet. I like flowers, castles, works of art, animals, cartoons, people of interest from history.
Not so keen on old Queenie, & boring old heads of state, unless they were infamous. I only have a few stamps not even a dozen, where to begin.
I bought an album and off we go.
Anyway thats me, nice to be onboard, be gentle with the newby. Martin.

Welcome to TSF, Martin ( nagachilli)! I am also in England, Oxford to be precise. I am a long-time collector, and always glad to see new people taking an interest. We will indeed try to be gentle with you, as you say! As you are relatively new to the hobby, may I suggest that you do some exploring in the General Information board of the Forum: thestampforum.boards.net/board/171/basics-stamp-collecting-stamps-101thestampforum.boards.net/board/363/frequently-asked-using-forumI think you will find these useful. Our Admin is in the US, so it will be some hours yet before he is online and can give you access to post in other areas of the Forum. In the meantime, if you have a question, you can post it here in your intro thread. Welcome again and enjoy your time with us! Kind Regards, Chris ( Beryllium Guy)  |

Welcome. South coast of England...near Brighton? I only ask because I was watching a video on Youtube last night of a music personality who often posts videos of herself on Brighton beach. It is a beautiful area.
