I collect fridge magnets from places abroad that I have visited. Hence the domain name. Between 2004 and May 2023, I have collected 187 magnets (167 cities/towns and 20 attractions) from 50 countries, all for pleasure. Since the lockdown I have also included photographic reminiscence of my trips in England, though with no fridge magnets!
