    Hi

    You asked for an introduction so here goes.

    I’m 66 and live in Framlingham in Suffolk a place famous for its castle and also now as the home town of Ed Sheeran and the location for the TV series Detectorists

    I’ve been collecting antiques For almost forty years and specialise in ceramics. I once had a large collection of 18th century tea and coffee pots as I worked in the hot beverage industry and it was a connection. I sold the collection and then collected Japanese Satsuma (my collection featured on Antiques Roadshow when they visited Clitheroe - it may still be available to download) buying mainly on eBay.

    When we downsized on retirement I sold the Satsuma And now just have a few pieces of varying ceramics and modern paintings.

    I do some buying and selling on eBay under the name Kinkozanfan and wrote a novel “Mr Prendergast’s Fantastic Find” about a man who finds some priceless vases on eBay. It’s a comedy and has been very well reviewed.

    Antiques and writing apart I also enjoy reading, cycling, metal detecting, cinema, theatre and the arts. I attempt the Times crossword daily with mixed success. I am a lifelong supporter of Liverpool FC and had a season ticket for much of my life.

    During the lockdown I’ve enrolled in the iPhone Photography Academy and am really enjoying learning to get the best from the iPhone camera.

    Hope that’s an adequate intro.

    I look forward to reading posts on ceramics.

    John

    John, I wanted you to know that... I've just finished your novel Mr. Prendergast's Fantastic Find and enjoyed it tremendously. Highly original and laugh-out-loud funny.
