Collecting Stamps
George
I've been collecting stamps since I was ten. It started with a stamp album that my grandfather gave me. Now, I have stamps from over thirty countries. My favourite ones are from Brazil; they have such bright and interesting colours. I meet other collectors at a monthly club in a nearby city. My sister thinks it's a bit old-fashioned, but I find it fascinating. Last year, I traded a rare stamp with a collector from Italy. That was exciting!

Stamp collecting is a hobby I share with my dad. We spend weekends looking through our collection and discussing the history behind each stamp. I love the stories they tell. We recently added stamps from Japan, which are beautifully designed. My friends are more into digital hobbies, but they appreciate my unique interest. I'm always on the lookout for antique stamps at local markets � it's like a treasure hunt! You might find something wonderful!

I got into stamp collecting through my school's hobby club. It's a relaxing pastime. I focus mainly on European stamps because I'm interested in European history. My collection isn't huge, but it's growing. My best friend, who collects coins, often jokes about our 'old school' hobbies. Last month, I found a rare German stamp from the 1940s at a flea market. It was a great find for my collection.
