Welcome

Welcome to all who came into this blog. My name is Andrei (Andrew), I'm from Russia. I created it to describe my hobbies and practice in learning English. Also, perhaps, I will describe events that seem interesting to me and to post my photos. For a start, I plan to post photos of my collection of cars in 1:43 scale and describe the real prototypes of these models. I would be grateful for any comments to the messages. And please point out mistakes in my English.
