    I had a double whammy: the operation intended to have fixed a subarachnoid brain haemorrhage went wrong and damaged my cerebellum, leaving me with a stroke. Left hand paralysis means I can no longer continue in my previous career as a Music Lecturer. Fortunately I am a passionate (some might say addictive) collector of prints and multiples. My disability focused my attention even more totally on this passion. I'm always delighted to celebrate junk-shop discoveries and equally amenable to commiserating with the occasional unavoidable turkey-purchase (if we're honest, we've all made a few of those at some point). I'm certainly no expert, but my interests focus predominantly on 20th/21st Century Anglo-American and European print-making. I'm very happy to offer opinions if asked. Here's wishing all you fellow-magpies out there every success and happiness in your hunting and have a terrific Christmas (I know, it's already nearly here again!) x

    Welcome Laurence,

    I am also new to this forum. I have found people here to be good natured and knowledgeable. I have enjoyed the past few days learning from the people like yourself who have passion for antiquities.

    I am sorry about your health troubles but commend you for your ability to adapt. I can’t wait to hear what you have to offer and show us about prints.

    Welcome to the forum, Laurence.
    And welcome to our very diverse brain damage club (bdc :pompous:), we are a jolly lot.:playful: Glad you found the strength to turn to your passion when lecturing was unfortunately no longer an option. Passions and enjoying beauty are important for anyone's well-being.

    Welcome Laurence. I am part of the brain damaged lot (bdc) that AJ spoke of. It sounds like you'll be a real asset here, as we have a lot of prints come up for review.
