Poor Cover

Did receive back a cover, mailed to a friend in Sri Lanka. He told me that I mailed him a "poor"cover. Sad that he bend the cover to me over two of the stamps. Maybe could save them when soaking. Why is this a poor cover? Bad cancellation, thats for sure, but cancellation is just a lotery here in The Netherlands. I can put handcancels on a cover, sometimes do that, but then the cover gets in a bag to the postcentrum and they -the machine-  puts a cancellation as you see here over the handcancels. Maybe you are still able to see a stamp or a part. What to do ?? just tell me.

Sri Lanka

Last week I received a trade/exchange request from Sri Lanka. I do have some stamps of that island but like to have some more. Nice to have an envelop in the mail for such a request, on an enveloppe are stamps and when you got an email you don't have stamps. Show the cover.You see sea-mail, maybe for the value on the cove. Think 4 day's is not sea-mail.  My stamps are on their way to Sri Lanka, just wait and see.

Sri Lanka Cover

Do see I have to post more regulary on my blog. Its looks like if you get older you have less time to do things. Maybe you want to do to much and slow down a bit when ageing (English?) Today I show a cover from Sri Lanka wich came to me last week. Inside some 100 nice stamps from that country, a trade with a new friend, not sure if he is from Facebook or Stampcentral, a new Yahoogroup I am a member now. Can look it up of course. I did have a few stamps from Sri Lanka and have more now, good for exchange here and on the www. You see some nice stamps on the cover, Jaya, thanks.
