    Hello. I also wanted to fly to a philatelic exhibition in London, but a war broke out in my country Ukraine, the boot of the Russian occupier is trampling the Ukrainian land. Greetings from Kyiv, you really liked your video, the only positive video in 10 days of the war.

    Hi Graham - having just watched your London 2022 video - fascinating as always, it grieves me even more now that I was unable to attend due to the vagaries of British Rail. Stampex in the Autumn will be a definite, whatever the transport problems. Will you be attending that too? Best wishes
