In honour of the UK's 160th anniversary of the first pillar box, Joy has chosen our theme for next week - post/mail boxes, or anything postal themed.

This goes well with my IOM stamp. I have never made it to the IOM.

Looks a lovely calm day in the harbour.

Beautiful stamp. I like the Europa series in general, great to see each country's take on the stamp.

It is not the usual Europa stamp. I like it.

Are there any rules for joining in and posting our stamps. Do we need to know when the stamps were released, etc? How much information do we need to convey?

No rules, just jump in! The link goes up around midnight ESDT and stays up for 24 hours. You can put in as much or as little information about the stamps as you wish (or know). There is a list of themes on the sidebar which can be interpreted broadly. And if you have any thematic stamps you'd like to share, let me know and I can easily add it to the list.
