Advantages: good fun

Disadvantages: people think its boring

Collecting Stamps has been a hobby of my Grandads for as long as I can remember. When I was younger I thought this hobby was a bit boring and almost took the mickey out of people that would do this as I could not see what was so interesting about it. When I was about 15, my Grandad gave me, my sister and my three cousins a load of stamps to keep for ourselves. I'm not quite sure what they did with theirs, but I went out and brought a book to keep them all in.

I had great fun sorting out which stamps were from which countries, and arranging them all in the book I had brought. It made me feel quite embarassed about what I had previously said about the hobby. It just goes to show that the old saying is true 'don't knock it till you have tried it'!

Summary: collecting stamps can be fun
