New Blog Layout

Nice such a new layout. Have to found how to put new information on my blog. Not able from the blog, have to go to my startpage with blogs. Here I am.

What to write about today?  Did get a nice cover from Poland (by Antony, thanks again) 11-11-11, show it below.

Think it is a nice -special- cancellation. The cancellation says (I guess) that its a historical date, special thats right  but historical?

Very nice stamp with "Europa" theme. We in The Netherlands don't have these every year anymore, but a lot of stamps are issued here, maybe to many.

Mail from Finland

This cover I received last week, thanks to Leo.  A lot of stamps inside from my topics, also a nice cover from Sweden which has a chickencancellation ( Glad Päsk) on an 12 kronen Europa  stamp of 2011.

Will keep the cover in my chickencollection. Also some "Forever Stampexchangers inside, so again a lot of "work". Keep that for the winter and now we still have summer overhere. 

Holidays

Holiday's are still very popular these day's even in this economic bad day's. Also postcards from the place you are to relatives and friends are still very common. Sometimes you will have more stamps than cards and when you have an uncle who likes stamps..... Indeed, thanks to my niece Samatha who give me this nice Greece stamps. Good for the Europe topic or is it European topic.

A stamp issued March 3rd with 7 others. Special occasions. This one is for the 10 years Economic and Monetair Union of Europ.

Heb je dat nu ook wel eens op je vakantie ? Postzegels over of aanzichtkaarten te kort. Het is in deze economisch lastige tijden toch nog een goede gewoonte om vanuit je vakantieadres een kaartje te sturen. Mijn nicht Samantha had nog wat Griekse zegels over en die mocht ik ontvangen. Best leuk zo'n gebaar. De zegel is uit een serie van 8, uitgegeven op 30 maart 2009, en is vanwege het 10 jarig bestaan van de Economisch en Monetaire Unie van Europa. Handig om dan ook het tarief te gebruiken voor post binnen Europa.

Scouting 100 years

The Dutch postadministration did issue this year again "Europa" stamps. Not every yeay they do that but this year we in the world have the cellebration of 100 years of scouting and that's also the theme for the Europa stamps of 2007. In our country we have only stamps for use in Europe (value € 0,72) till 20 grams and Priority. (Standard you need for this € 0,67 stamps).
We won't see these stamps on regular Dutch internal mail, so if you want it in an used version you have to get friends in Europe or you have to mail yourself a letter with this stamps. I only do that with our local cancellation. Always nice and collectable....If you send me a cover with an Europa scouting stamp I will return one with a Dutch one...
