Professional Philatelist, stamp-dealer, PTS Member - that's the work stuff, also first and foremost an Evertonian, then a Petrol Head. Likes old stuff and being a nerd. That's me there, reading all the information plaques in National Trust properties.

If you’re in Melbourne, Australia, come to Brighton Philatelic Society on Tuesday! At 7.15 I’ll host a chat re tips and tricks for social media and philately, and at 8.15 I’m displaying two of my fave Aussie stamp issues (70s steam trains and 80s fish). A good night to come along if you’re curious!

I once lived in the very vicarage to which this 1875 mourning cover was addressed. More than a 150 years later, that chance connection inspired an investigation that combined genealogy, social history, and postal history. tinyurl.com/2w2y4ep8 #philately

They say the best time to plant a tree is 40 years ago… so I’m off on a mini adventure to fact-check that 40 years ago this summer, as a sixth-former, some friends and I volunteered on a conservation project in Snowdonia (Eryri) Now we’re heading back to climb a mountain and see whether it worked…
View down the tracks on an above-ground Tube platform. A lot of vanishing perspective going on - symbolic perhaps?

Spain vs Cape Verde take: it warms my heart that both long-lost Luso-Creole cousins, Curaçao and Cape Verde, are in the World Cup this year. Fun fact: Papiamentu (spoken in Curaçao) and Cape Verdean Creole are both Upper Guinea Portuguese Creoles and share a common linguistic ancestry.

I did a thread on 15 minute cities on X which went so viral I ended up in the Times and on BBC Radio. I thought I'd repeat it here... This was my parents house in Coventry. They bought it in 1965 and it was my home throughout the 1970s & 80s. My mum lived there until 2021. It was a happy home. 1/22

An incredibly silly meme with an image of Buckinghamshire's waterways. The following text is around it.

'Can't remember the names of the rivers and waterways in historic Buckinghamshire? Try this handy mnemonic!

"Roman roads really ran right resiliently"

[The first letter of the following words (R) is highlighted]
River Thames
River Great Ouse
River Wye
River Thame
River Colne
River Ouzel'

There is an image of an otter in the bottom left with a speech bubble says 'It's easy!'
