I'm Chas and I retired from Perth WA to the idyllic Huon Valley in Tasmania 4 years ago, the best decision my wife and I have made. I have collected stamps all my life but retirement means I can now look at them and enjoy. I enjoy bidding for miscellaneous things in auctions (rarely spending any money) and am slowly working my way through all the bits and pieces I have saved over the years. Not much of a collection but fun all the same. I collect Australia (used) and recently started a collection of Malta (after a visit to this wonderful island). I also recently started to collect bears (ordinary and teddy) because my wife makes them. I was an isolated collector for a long time but am now a member of TPS and am enjoying meetings very much. That's me in a nutshell.
