Collecting things....

... was a major part of my childhood.

Last weekend's exploration of the loft area revealed boxes of stuff collected round about 1958-60. Tins and old cases contained a mix of picture cards collected and stuck into albums, cigarette packets (the contents of which were never of interest to me), pictures of football teams and stars of stage and screen. You name it, I collected it.

Here is just a selection of the stuff. It will provoke memories for some and incomprehension in others.
