Maybe ornaments, or beer mats, maybe you collect stamps? Whaaaaaaaaaaa?

I have a collection of badges which I started when I was about 14. I really don't know why! I just have! I have a collection of dolls too of various sizes and styles. They are put away up in the loft though. I keep a collectioon of coins also. Some are foreign, some are British from when we had the old currency (such as threepenny bits) but I have a weird German coin with the Nazi swatzicka on it! Surprised A Pfenning I think it is called.

 

How about you?

You took my line Jason!!

I collect clocks. I love clocks..especially carriage clocks. I don't have many but if I had the room and the money I'd have tons more.

Not a deliberate collection, but I seem to be gathering books about people who have done long-distance walks in the UK.

These include 4 people who have walked round the entire coastline and Nick Crane's book about walking the 2 degree west of the meridian line ... odd but true!!
