My stamp of the day is a set from Australia 1993. I previously posted one of the set of 6 stamps. You can expect to pay around £2.00 for a used set. #stampoftheday #stampcollecting #philately #stamps

Stamp of the day is from GB 1924 - these are the first commemorative stamps released in GB. However, here is where I ask a question of the users here with far more experience of stamps. Are these fake? I ask because for 1924 they seem too "mint" #stampoftheday #stampcollecting #philately #stamps

I'm not a huge fan of AI but after seeing a really nice poster of a class 43 in cartoon form, I decided to try the achieve the same effect with one of my own photographs of a class 802 at Newcastle. For a first attempt I'm quite pleased. #cartoon #trains #train #railway #photography #newcastle

A different set for my collection. These are from Tanzania 1999. A set of 6 UFO's from around the world. Not sure how many UFO themed stamps there are but I'm thinking it might be a nice idea for a side project/collection for me. #stampoftheday #stampcollecting #philately #stamps

My hometown of Seaham, County Durham. I don't really enjoy taking nature/landscape shots, but living by the sea creates some awesome sunrises. I took these photo's last year. #photography #landscape #canon #nature

Despite Seaham getting snow just after 0830, managed to get to the train station to get the following:
0658 - 156468
0719 - 158910
0807 - 158849
I'm on my way to spotting every class 156 and 158 in service.

My stamp of the day is from 1968 - East Germany, The Leipzig Spring Fair - whilst the stamp features model trains, it still counts as one for my "trains around the world" collection. #stampoftheday #stampcollecting #philately #stamps

Stamp of the day - Just got these for the price of £3, a bargain in my opinion and to be added to my DPRK collection. These were issued in 1973 on 2nd of August. #stampoftheday #stampcollecting #philately #stamps

I don't photograph much landscape/nature, here are some out and about photographs taken last year. If you ever visit England I recommend that you include the North East. #photography #landscape #canon #nature
