About Me

Welcome all! I'm a happy chap, living up north amongst the hills and wild terrain of the Lake District. I'm an avid collector of random old stuff, basically anything and everything!! Whether it's the humble stamp or the more extreme pocket watch you can guarantee that there's a space for it somewhere. As for antique clocks, well that's another chapter in itself!! (I'm currently training to become a restorer of them) Don't worry yet, I have also got modern interests that span from a range of sports to local wildlife and natural history. Exploring hidden treasures is another past time worth investigating. I love music and this varies considerably from the big dance bands of the 30's to the best in folk and pop. Oh yeah by the way....Rover P4's are THE finest cars ever built!! Thanks for looking, feel free to add me!!Create or get your
