<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gentlefern, post: 2697006, member: 16438&quot;]Hi to anyone reading this. I&#039;m an absolute beginner at collectables, but this seems such a friendly and helpful place to be I thought I&#039;d take the plunge. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m Karen and I live close to the small town of Pontardawe in the Swansea Valley. I am just turned 55 and I live with my son who is nearly 18.</p><p><br /></p><p>I broke my back last October and I&#039;m still recovering, so I&#039;m mostly housebound at the moment. Not too much of a disaster as so are a lot of other people! </p><p><br /></p><p>I used to sell Curry and Herb kits, Postcards and Ladybird books on Ebay many years ago just to help make ends meet. </p><p><br /></p><p>My main interests are Biological recording, observing wildlife, reading and anything else that catches my interest. I love charity shops and car boots, but what with lock-down and my limited mobility that isn&#039;t happening at the moment. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m pretty strapped for cash and starting mooching around on Ebay to see what was selling at the moment. I&#039;ve got a few odd bits and pieces of pottery, pin badges, postcards and ladybird books. But I&#039;ve become fascinated with pottery since trying to identify the bits and pieces I&#039;ve got. </p><p><br /></p><p>It was trying to sort out the backstamp on a couple of my plates which indirectly lead me to this forum. It seems so friendly and helpful I thought I&#039;d like to join. I only joined a few hours ago and have mooched through some of the threads on here. It&#039;s absolutely fascinating.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well that&#039;s me and who I am. I&#039;m looking forward to getting to know some of you.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cheers, Karen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
