I picked a Yugoslavia stamp too, but cannot say what it is about.

I have 2 links this week - one to my wordpress blog - http://bit.ly/2UOTNHW and one to blogger http://bit.ly/2Skkqrz. Please tell me which you prefer - I may switch to wordpress in the future.

I like those early Europa designs. I've not headed into the sun but the moon this week here

I had no idea that Yugoslavia was spelled with a J on their stamps.

I have just learnt that this was a common design in a lot of countries!

See, for instance, this list.
