All over the world memories are captured everyday. For decades we’ve been capturing memories on film and displaying them in photo albums. Visit your mother or your grandmother’s house and you will likely find your family’s lifetime and theirs forever preserved in photo albums.

So Im hoping that as Remy is… -
Stamp collecting
Do any of you collect stamps? I used to when I was younger and now my youngest son seems to have caught the stamp collecting bug. He got loads of stamps/stamp books/stamp collecting kits etc for Christmas, and he’s spent many happy and fascinated hours going through them all with his dad.
He’s very proud of his collection and carefully sticks them all in and looks at them all. They are all kept very neatly in his stamp albums and put away properly.
